Determine two or more main ideas of a text and explain how they are supported by key details; summarize the text.
Common Core State Standard: CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.5.2 I can learning target (related to your goal for the reader and the Common Core): I can pick out the main ideas and summarize the text. Text complexity: Purpose is clearly stated, text structure is apparent, vocabulary can be challenging in some sections Lesson Component Description of Planned Activities Time Outcomes and Comments (The reader and you)

Warm-up and reading for fluency Text introduction and reading

Text and level:

Text and level: Animals on the Move, 29 (Focus questions: What is migration? Who migrates? Why do they do it?

What is migration? "That animals have eggs and babies." Lacked prior knowledge about migration. Did not know what migration was. Had better understanding when I gave my example.

Prior knowledge: Today we are

going to read part of a book called Animals on the Move. The chapters that we are going to read are called Animal Migration and Athletic Animals. When I read the title, I first thought about what I know about the word migration. From previous experiences, I remembered that bird migrate in the winter to find a warmer climate. What do you know about migration, and what makes someone or something athletic?

Preview: The titles of these

chapters are Animal Migration and Athletic Animals. From the headings and the pictures, what

"An athlete is flexible." Had to give him a better description of what makes someone an athlete.

might these sections be about?

I wonder.

I think I will learn about animals and where they move to.

Predict: I think I will learn

I think I will learn where animals go when they migrate and why they migrate.

Set a purpose for reading: Read

to learn what migration is and where animals migrate to. Also, read to learn what some of the most athletic animals are.

(Read to self silently)

After Reading:

Different texts have different

text structures. There are: descriptive texts, sequence texts, compare/contrast, cause/effect, and problem/solution texts. We look for certain signal words/phrases to determine the structure of the text. After reading this book, what type of text do you think this is? (show table with signal words/phrases). Remember, a book does not have to every one of these structures. We need to think about the important ideas in the text, so I am going to ask a what and why question to help us. What animals did you learn about? Why do animals migrate? Discuss one surprising fact: I was amazed to learn

Some go to cold/some warm places to have babies and to feed. Jaxon was able to give a much better description of what migration is after reading.

Fleas can jump 100 times their height.

After reading discussion

Strategy use highlighted Verify predictions Reader talks about how he/she clarified a word (or an idea) Write a question Reflect on the helpfulness of the strategies

Clarify:
Sometimes in a story you may not understand a word or idea, this is when we need to clarify. When we clarify we look for other sources to help us figure out what we are confused about. Some sources include skipping the word and reading on, looking at words around the tricky idea/word, and using sources such as the glossary. How did you figure out a word/ idea if you did not understand it? Are there any words/ideas that you still do not understand? When you come to word you are not sure about: Look inside the word (for a familiar part structural analysis). Look outside the word for clues to its meaning (contextual analysis). I am going to reread this part of the text for a word that needs to be clarified. Read aloud/think-aloud Text structure: Descriptive Use the iPad to look up additional facts about some of the animals, clarify some words, watch videos

Wrote down many words and ideas to clarify, much more than usual. I did not have to prompt him as often as I usually do to use his post-it notes to write down things that are not making sense to him. "Look up snow geese. What is arctic circle? I wonder what animals move to different places. How long can a whale stay under water? I wonder how high a flea can jump. How big can a whale grow up to?

Question:
What types of migration are there? Who migrates? Why do they migrate?

What questions do you still have after reading these chapters?

Were your predictions right?

Summarize: When I summarize,

I give a broad summary about everything in the chapter. I sometimes write down the key words of the story and even go back and reread. What was this story about? Pull out the main ideas of the story and give a summary. Go back and look at the pictures and headings if you Yes

This text is about animals migrating in different places.

need a refresher. I learned that What helped you the most as a reader?

They migrate because that's where they eat or have babies.

Clarify: I could reread and pronounce the word correctly.
