Mini Lesson Fact and Opinion    Reveiw

“ Specifically, I want to teach you tath when adults are reading  historical fiction books, we find that sometimes we are taking up information(facts) we’d need to know on mind bulletin boards. At the start of our books, there was so much information flying past us as we read that we felt as if a lot of our mind work was spent catching the important stuff and almost sorting it so that we began to grasp the who, what, where, when, and why the of the book. Or the facts. Today we are working on facts and why they are facts.

 Let’s re- read  The French connection with a partner and discuss 3 facts you found. And then do they  answer any of the who where what why  questions.

  “ Today, I want to continue our work about strectching out one part of your story, the part that is the real purpose. So one way to really figure out what is the purpose is to create several time lines as you look at your flow maps ask yourself, Maybe my story will go liek this or maybe like this .  When you do this you might find that you may want to start your story at a different spot.

Guided

Teach your partner your story flow map and tell them where your story will begin. Ask them if they think this is a great place to start.

Mini Lesson

 Yesterday readers we really paused and began to think really deeply about a historical fiction passage and developed an idea about the story. Once we have an idea of what a story is about our mind changes and we begin to read the story a little different we read it almost like we have sun glasses on. We read on with our interpretaion in mind and we say Ah yes  or huh no way That does not fit  Doing this is one way that we continue to develop our ideas. So today I want you to focus on some vocabulary words

VOCAB WORDS
Opportunity border strikes boycott  ecosystem

I want you to create 4 circle maps to define these words. Here is an example. I gave you 5 words that fit our passage and one does not. You need to think about the story and decide which words fit the story. Those are the only 4 circle maps I want to see in your notebook. If the word made you think Huh  That does not fit. Do not create a circle map for it.

We dont do research just to become fact combers collecting facts like a beach comber that collect pretys shells. We cup our hands around one bit of the world  and for us that is California, because we want to become wiser about the world. Specifically today I want to teach you that researchers need not only to collect but researchers, also need to think.+

explain to me one relationship between living and nonliving things in your ecosystem.

 For example: Elephants rely on mud in in the savanna to keep them cool. They use the mud by rubbing it on their bodies with their trunks to keep to protect their skin from the sun similar to the way people use sunblock to protect their skin.

Readers here’s the thing. All of us already know what a setting is in a story. It’s the place where the story scene happens. But today, I want to teach you that in historical fiction because the setting will inevitably be unfamilar to us we have to really pay attention not just to whatt the place looks like but also what it feels like , not just the physical details but to its emotional atmosphere.

I am going to read a piece of a story about how America recieved the Statue of Liberty. While I am reading I want you to really understand the details of the story. When I am done we are going to sort these details, we will decide if they are fact of opinion and what they add to the story.

Today during reading workshop I am going to not only ask you to read with power and stamina I am going to ask you to stop and write down in your readers notebook for me 3 facts and 3 opinions you found in your book. If you are not reading an historical fiction book I would like you to take your Treasures book with you when you go to your reading spot and  read” My Diary from Here to There” this a piece of fiction with some geographic  facts.
