Guided Practice: So let’s build what we know about the book so far and then make a summary of information. Now, I want you to retell the story to your partner.  Now we will build our predictions and we will write this predictions on the  top of the page and we are going to underline turn it into a tree map so as we are reading we are going to find evidence to support and not support. So what do I need to write a prediction: We are going to create a compound sentence. And we are going to make sure our sentence has a modal verb. Like may might could I predict that Mrs. Frizz will take the students on more adventures through rain forest and they might go through a food chain from omnivores to herbivores or decomposers. Independent Practice:  Each student will create a prediction about the Chapter and be prepared to share on Tuesday.

Monday Word of the Day Health Nonfiction reading	Mini Lesson: “My tip to help you go from good to great is that when you become an expert on a topic, it is important to begin using the technical vocabulary of that subject . Even if you’re really just beginning to learn about a subject, you can accelerate your learning curve by ‘talking the talk .’” So today when you read I want you to create a list of key vocabulary that we will find in this reading and then use a thinking make.

Strategic Group ( C)	Reteach Sean Tomas Leonardo Eddie
Tuesday Punctuation of Titles	Mini Lesson: “As we identify what authors make us feel about a subject, we also investigate how the author caused those feelings to get stirred up . Readers pay close atten- tion, for example, to the images, the stories, and the choice of information, which authors include, and how those stir up emotional responses in us as readers .”  I will be looking for Comparative adjectives with conjunctions such as although, because, that Comparative adjectives with idiomatic phrases and passive voice “We were invited by our neighbors to attend their party.” We is stronger than it as a sentence opener, but “our neighbors” is stronger still: “Our neighbors invited us to attend their party.” Guided Practice:  So we take the text( what the author wrote and we combine it with our own thoughts and feelings to create opinions.) Today you will take some piece of information from the text and add your feelings. We will use a brace map to make your opinion. Independent Practice; Hunting for words

Wednesday Summary	Mini Lesson: Today we are going to focus our work in literary response and we are going to take information from the text and write a summary. Guided Practice: One thing that we are stuck on is finding the main idea Watch 5 things video Watch Main Idea song Guided Practice: “Another way readers can hold onto what we are learning is that when we come to the end of a chunk of text—or when our mind is brimful—we can pause and say to ourselves, ‘What did I just read?’ Then we can come up with little sum- maries of the important stuff . This helps us to recollect what we’ve learned .” this is the strategy I want you to practice today but you are going to do it with a partner. And the chunks we are going to use are going to be the paragraphs Independent Practice: Read passage with partner, stop and build a summary, then share out and begin to create their own summary
Strategic Group(F)	Fluency Testing
Thursday	Mini Lesson: Word Study Today we are going to focus our reading work on accuracy.
