Text - The Cricket in Times Square Chapters 7-9 Remind students that we really studied the characters of Mario and Tucker last week. Discuss the differences and similarities between two different characters. Today we are going to continue thinking about how characters points of view impact their actions and feelings. Turn and talk with your partner - What do we mean we talk about a person's point of view? Today we are going to continue thinking about character's point of view. Create a think sheet with the names of the two other characters. Example: Point of View Chester Point of View Harry the Cat Begin reading, stop periodically to model your thinking to add to the think sheet. Then allow the students to add their thinking and give evidence supporting their answers. As you read think - aloud why you think some of the characters have the point of view that they do.

3 Reading Tuesday - Week 6 Acknowledge the differences in the points of view of characters, including by speaking in a different voice for each character. RL.2.6 Text The Cricket in Times Square chapters Readers Theater Scripts Today you will create a think sheet describing the use of expression in oral reading. Explain to the students that when you read as a character in a story or a play your voice needs to match the character. We do this because it helps us to understand the character. Teacher should model for students by reading aloud a text and changing your voice to match the voice of the characters. Example Chart: What does reading with expression look like? What does reading with expression sound like? Time to Read: Teacher may want to give students a reader s theater and place them into groups to practice using expression when they read.

Continue to read with expression for each character. Choose your favorite character, model for students how you write your opinion about this character. Share how their point of view makes an impact on you citing text based evidence. Allow students to choose one character to write a reading response piece. Tell the students they will write a short opinion piece as to why this character is their favorite with evidence from the text as to why they favored their point of view.

(Choose one to teach per day -Un, mis, pre, re, bi, im using the following teaching tip) 1. Present one prefix 2. Share the definition 3. Brainstorm words that begin with the prefix to create a mini word wall on just the one prefix 4. Discuss meanings of individual words as you add to your chart to ensure follow the rule. Writing lesson: Creating an Interesting Lead Share with students students you are in the final stages of the writing process. Commend them for all their hard word and perservance. Explain to students that when you begin your writing, you want to draw your reader in so that they will want to continue reading. You want to create a lead or beginning, that makes your reader want to read more. Create a T chart, share a few week beginning on the left side: I am going to tell you about the Brooklyn Bridge. / Here is my report about the Brooklyn Bridge. How would you like everyone in this room to begin their paper with one of these two starters? That would be really boring. As growing writers we need to think about different ways to hook our readers. One way I can do this is by sharing a surprising or interesting fact about our topic. Example: The Brooklyn Bridge is one of the oldest bridges in the United States. Share a few examples. Prompt students to think about their topics and something interesting they learned. Think about the most interesting thing you learned about your bridge that might interest someone. Share with your writing buddy. Time to Write: Students will revise their beginnings and continue to work on their writing. Author Share: Choose several students to share their beginnings.

Tell them that they are going to help you make sure that everything looks right. Read through your page and think aloud as you check for capitalization, punctuation, and spelling. Make corrections as needed. Ask student to work with their writing partner to edit the page they've written for the class book. Have them look for the same elements. Time to Write: Ask student to take time to look carefully at the writing on their drafts to see what corrections may be needed. If they see things that need correction encourage them to make the changes. If students aren't able to detect needed correction you may need to support their efforts during conferencing. Author Share: Ask students to turn and talk with their partner about how their editing went. Did they make changes to improve their writing? Share with your partner one change you made while editing.

Remind students that a question usually represents a part of the writing that needs to be made more clear for the reader. They may need to add this information to their reports. It is up to them if they choose to add the suggestion their peers offer. Share & Reflect: Allow several students to share what advice they used from their partners to make their writing more clear.
