The lesson will not only provide the student with ample research material, but have the student actively thinking about the cause and effect process as well as integrate tier 3 words. Common Core Standards Covered with This Lesson CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.4.1: Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.4.1: Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.

2 Lesson Content: Book/Story/Reading Passage Instructions: Please read the following reading passage as many times as needed (aloud and silent) before starting to go through other lesson pages. Understanding the content of this passage is very important since the lesson activities will be all about this content. Feel free to print the passage if needed. Breaking the Food Chain by Content: A food chain is a link between plants and animals. It starts with a plant. The nextpart of the link is a plant eater. When the prairie plants were uprooted, the animals thatdepended on them lost their food source. So while the farmers produced more food forpeople, they broke the animals food chain. For example, if a bird needs seeds to eat andthe plant is gone, that bird will not be able to survive. And the animals that ate that birdwont have any food, either. A food chain is part of a bigger system called a food web. That web links the livingthings in an environment. The herbivores in that system depend on the plants. If the plantsare removed, the herbivores cannot survive. Herbivores in Chicago include rabbits,squirrels, and many insects. Long ago, they used to include bison and deer. Today you willfind some deer in some parts of this area, but you wont find them in the city. When herbivores lose their food, they die out. Then the carnivores, the animals thateat other animals, lose their food, too. Wolves used to depend on the deer for their food.without deer, the wolves lost their food. Foxes died out, too. They had hunted birds, evencatching ducks when they were on the side of ponds. Remove just one kind of plant from an environment and you disrupt a food chain.plow up the land and you destroy the whole system. What happened in Chicago? People moved in. They built homes. They builtstreets. They took away land from nature. Look at this timeline and youll see how moreand more people moved here. We dont have the numbers for the bison or deer. But weknow that today there are no bison in Chicago, you will only find them at the zoo The population of the city is 503,185; farms continue to expand 1890 The population of the city is 1,099, The population is 1,698, Factories expand in the city; population is 2,185, The citys population has grown to 2,701, The citys population is 3,376,438 2 of 5

4 Task 2: Forum Discussion Instructions: This discussion forum will have questions for students to respond. Read the posted questions, and respond to each. Students are responsible for posting one initial and and two peer responses for each topic. 1 - Why is the food chain important? Why is the food chain so imporant? Why does the author stress how bad the disruption of a food chain would be? 2 - What would happen if the food chain switched? What would happen if the roles in the food chain switched? What if carnivores became herbivores and herbivores became carnivores? Would that change anything, or would the role reversal equal out? 3 - How do rural and urban areas compare? The author makes an example of Chicago. Do you think the food chain is the same in all places, or that it can change between rural and urban areas? 4 of 5
5 Task 3: Writing Activity Instructions: If a link of the food chain was removed, what do you think would happen to the rest of the food chain? Would it affect the levels below it? Would it affect the levels above it? What kind of effect would removing the link from the food chain would have on the land? Please be specific and provide a detailed reponse to all questions.
