The emphasis of this standard is employing strategies to analyze and apply knowledge of the structure and elements of literature Theme is the overarching message or universal idea of the text It is not bound by time or space and is generally true for all people throughout all time (eg itrsquos always better to work together honesty is the best policy) It requires thinking BEYOND the text students will not be able to find the answer directly stated in the text Strategies of inference need to be practiced Inference is a guess or conclusion based on evidence clues made by the author plus the readerrsquos own background knowledge Students summarize text incorporating explanation of the theme from their notes
Class Discussion Compare and contrast the presentation of a topic in two different formats such as baseball in ldquoCasey at the Batrdquo Ernest Lawrence Thayer to We are the Ship The Story of Negro League Baseball Kadir Nelson drawing on specific details from the text Your teacher may ask you to write your own response on a sticky note on a white board or in your journal and share it with a partner before or during the class discussion (RL52 SL51a b) Sample Questions What is the theme of _____ (text title) What details in the storypoemdrama help the reader determine this theme bull How does the author use the way Tyrone responds to his situation to develop the theme of the story bull Summarize the storydramapoem Lesson Plans and Activities

RL53 Compare and contrast two or more characters settings or events in a story or drama hellip drawing on specific details in the text (eg how characters interact) Continued on the next page
This standard asks for the student to examine key traits from a text and compare and contrast them Use of a graphic organizer (eg Venn diagram or T-chart may assist students to understand the complexities of the characters settings and events through listing details) Teachers provide graphic organizers (eg T-chart Venn diagram or 2-3 columns) to assist in identifying and organizing story elements Teachers provide various examples of comparisons between characters setting or events to serve as a guide for students (Compare the main characters in The Secret Garden Frances Hodgson Burnett)
Literature Response In your journal create a character map of the main character in the historical novel you are reading Show how the character changes (or develops) over the course of the text Compare your character with one chosen by a classmate How are the characters similar How are they different (RL52 RL53) Pre-Reading Cards As a pre-reading activity provide students with index cards that have story element clues on them (ie a card might be labeled Setting ndash A small town) Have students read or hear read the first chapter of a selection Students record any inferences predictions or conclusions they develop based on what they heard Once students have completed the reading they review the cards to see how well they were able to infer predict or draw conclusions about the story element listed on their cards Later this can be turned into a short research paper that includes details from the text that support studentsrsquo original thoughts This activity can be adapted for shorter selections by reading only the first paragraph Story Map Using the story map strategy helps students focus on the major aspects or elements of a story such as setting character conflict rising action and resolution Initially these organizers can be created for whole groups to contribute as they become more familiar students can create story maps for texts they read independently There are a number of graphic variations on a story map available online ReadWriteThink (sponsored by the International Reading Association and National Council of Teachers of English) has an interactive version that students can complete located at httpwwwreadwritethinkorgfilesresourcesinteractivesstorymap Sample Questions How are Keisha and Lawanda alike and different What specific details from the story support your comparison bull What do you learn about Chris and John by the way they compete for the prize How are they alike and different Use specific details

RL56 Describe how a narratorrsquos or speakerrsquos point of view influences how events are described Continued on the next page
The emphasis of this standard is the identification of the techniques used by the author to influence the readersrsquo feelings and attitudes The point of view of the narrator can impact the way that events are perceived through the use of techniques of characterization First person point of view can allow the reader to have a greater understanding of the emotions and thoughts of the character This causes the reader to relate and forge a bond with the character or narrator Third person point of view is more versatile because when the narrator reveals a character readers will perceive emotions thoughts and attitudes based on both the third person narration and their own background knowledge Teachers create a focus or word wall to emphasize signal words and phrases used by first person or narrator Teachers provide two sample passages one written in first person point of view one written in third person point of view for students to compare Teachers ask students to discuss why one point of view would be more effective than the other

RL53 Compare and contrast two or more characters settings or events in a story or drama hellip drawing on specific details in the text (eg how characters interact) Continued on the next page
This standard asks for the student to examine key traits from a text and compare and contrast them Use of a graphic organizer (eg Venn diagram or T-chart may assist students to understand the complexities of the characters settings and events through listing details) Teachers provide graphic organizers (eg T-chart Venn diagram or 2-3 columns) to assist in identifying and organizing story elements Teachers provide various examples of comparisons between characters setting or events to serve as a guide for students (Compare the main characters in The Secret Garden Frances Hodgson Burnett)
Literature Response In your journal create a character map of the main character in the historical novel you are reading Show how the character changes (or develops) over the course of the text Compare your character with one chosen by a classmate How are the characters similar How are they different (RL52 RL53) Pre-Reading Cards As a pre-reading activity provide students with index cards that have story element clues on them (ie a card might be labeled Setting ndash A small town) Have students read or hear read the first chapter of a selection Students record any inferences predictions or conclusions they develop based on what they heard Once students have completed the reading they review the cards to see how well they were able to infer predict or draw conclusions about the story element listed on their cards Later this can be turned into a short research paper that includes details from the text that support studentsrsquo original thoughts This activity can be adapted for shorter selections by reading only the first paragraph Story Map Using the story map strategy helps students focus on the major aspects or elements of a story such as setting character conflict rising action and resolution Initially these organizers can be created for whole groups to contribute as they become more familiar students can create story maps for texts they read independently There are a number of graphic variations on a story map available online ReadWriteThink (sponsored by the International Reading Association and National Council of Teachers of English) has an interactive version that students can complete located at httpwwwreadwritethinkorgfilesresourcesinteractivesstorymap Sample Questions How are Keisha and Lawanda alike and different What specific details from the story support your comparison bull What do you learn about Chris and John by the way they compete for the prize How are they alike and different Use specific details

The emphasis of this standard is employing strategies to analyze and apply knowledge of the structure and elements of literature Theme is the overarching message or universal idea of the text It is not bound by time or space and is generally true for all people throughout all time (eg itrsquos always better to work together honesty is the best policy) It requires thinking BEYOND the text students will not be able to find the answer directly stated in the text Strategies of inference need to be practiced Inference is a guess or conclusion based on evidence clues made by the author plus the readerrsquos own background knowledge Students summarize text incorporating explanation of the theme from their notes
Class Discussion Compare and contrast the presentation of a topic in two different formats such as baseball in ldquoCasey at the Batrdquo Ernest Lawrence Thayer to We are the Ship The Story of Negro League Baseball Kadir Nelson drawing on specific details from the text Your teacher may ask you to write your own response on a sticky note on a white board or in your journal and share it with a partner before or during the class discussion (RL52 SL51a b) Sample Questions What is the theme of _____ (text title) What details in the storypoemdrama help the reader determine this theme bull How does the author use the way Tyrone responds to his situation to develop the theme of the story bull Summarize the storydramapoem Lesson Plans and Activities

This standard asks for the student to examine key traits from a text and compare and contrast them Use of a graphic organizer (eg Venn diagram or T-chart may assist students to understand the complexities of the characters settings and events through listing details) Teachers provide graphic organizers (eg T-chart Venn diagram or 2-3 columns) to assist in identifying and organizing story elements Teachers provide various examples of comparisons between characters setting or events to serve as a guide for students (Compare the main characters in The Secret Garden Frances Hodgson Burnett)
Literature Response In your journal create a character map of the main character in the historical novel you are reading Show how the character changes (or develops) over the course of the text Compare your character with one chosen by a classmate How are the characters similar How are they different (RL52 RL53) Pre-Reading Cards As a pre-reading activity provide students with index cards that have story element clues on them (ie a card might be labeled Setting ndash A small town) Have students read or hear read the first chapter of a selection Students record any inferences predictions or conclusions they develop based on what they heard Once students have completed the reading they review the cards to see how well they were able to infer predict or draw conclusions about the story element listed on their cards Later this can be turned into a short research paper that includes details from the text that support studentsrsquo original thoughts This activity can be adapted for shorter selections by reading only the first paragraph Story Map Using the story map strategy helps students focus on the major aspects or elements of a story such as setting character conflict rising action and resolution Initially these organizers can be created for whole groups to contribute as they become more familiar students can create story maps for texts they read independently There are a number of graphic variations on a story map available online ReadWriteThink (sponsored by the International Reading Association and National Council of Teachers of English) has an interactive version that students can complete located at httpwwwreadwritethinkorgfilesresourcesinteractivesstorymap Sample Questions How are Keisha and Lawanda alike and different What specific details from the story support your comparison bull What do you learn about Chris and John by the way they compete for the prize How are they alike and different Use specific details

Poetic Devices Not only do poets use a variety of formats rhyme schemes and meters but they use specific devices to make their poems unique Find examples of similes metaphors alliteration and onomatopoeia in poems from this unit and mark them with coded sticky notes Create a T-chart in your journal that includes the technique and examples of each Try to write your own poem that uses at least two of the techniques found (RL54 L55 W54) Anchor Charts Anchor charts are tools to aid students in remembering procedures and expectations related to topics in any content area They should be made with the students and added to throughout the year Post anchor charts in the classroom where they are easily accessible to students Anchor chart topics in reading could include class-generated information around general questions like ldquowhat do good readers dordquo or specific topics like figurative language In each case the charts would include information that explains and supports the studentsrsquo abilities to comprehend and evaluate text Picture Book Language Give small groups of students several picture books and have them look for words and phrases from those texts that reflect figurative language Have the scribe for the group record these words and phrases Group members should determine the specific type of figurative language the author used for each word or phrase found (ie simile metaphor) Each group can share their examples with the class and provide rationales for how each word or phrase was labeled Lesson Plans and Activities

RL55 Explain how a series of chapters scenes or stanzas fits together to provide the overall structure of a particular story drama or poem Continued on the next page
The emphasis of this standard is the structure of a story and how the structure is made up of separate parts Students benefit from understanding the components of the story and plot such as the exposition rising action climax falling action and resolution The combination of structural elements come together to create a final piece Students create maps of the plot structure to outline the key events of the text Students rearrange the events and put them back in order Students diagram the plot of different selections using a graphic organizer to diagram the structures (eg Use the plot diagram to show exposition rising action climax denouement conclusion flowchart to show event divisions in chapters)
Thinking StemsAnchor Chart Novel bull Does each chapter supply meaning to the story bull How does the first chapter help us to understand the second chapter bull Explain how the ___ chapter helps the reader to understand the setting of the story Use examples from the story in your explanation bull In which chapter does the author introduce what the main character wants Use examples from the story in your explanation

RL56 Describe how a narratorrsquos or speakerrsquos point of view influences how events are described Continued on the next page
The emphasis of this standard is the identification of the techniques used by the author to influence the readersrsquo feelings and attitudes The point of view of the narrator can impact the way that events are perceived through the use of techniques of characterization First person point of view can allow the reader to have a greater understanding of the emotions and thoughts of the character This causes the reader to relate and forge a bond with the character or narrator Third person point of view is more versatile because when the narrator reveals a character readers will perceive emotions thoughts and attitudes based on both the third person narration and their own background knowledge Teachers create a focus or word wall to emphasize signal words and phrases used by first person or narrator Teachers provide two sample passages one written in first person point of view one written in third person point of view for students to compare Teachers ask students to discuss why one point of view would be more effective than the other

This standard asks for the student to examine key traits from a text and compare and contrast them Use of a graphic organizer (eg Venn diagram or T-chart may assist students to understand the complexities of the characters settings and events through listing details) Teachers provide graphic organizers (eg T-chart Venn diagram or 2-3 columns) to assist in identifying and organizing story elements Teachers provide various examples of comparisons between characters setting or events to serve as a guide for students (Compare the main characters in The Secret Garden Frances Hodgson Burnett)
Literature Response In your journal create a character map of the main character in the historical novel you are reading Show how the character changes (or develops) over the course of the text Compare your character with one chosen by a classmate How are the characters similar How are they different (RL52 RL53) Pre-Reading Cards As a pre-reading activity provide students with index cards that have story element clues on them (ie a card might be labeled Setting ndash A small town) Have students read or hear read the first chapter of a selection Students record any inferences predictions or conclusions they develop based on what they heard Once students have completed the reading they review the cards to see how well they were able to infer predict or draw conclusions about the story element listed on their cards Later this can be turned into a short research paper that includes details from the text that support studentsrsquo original thoughts This activity can be adapted for shorter selections by reading only the first paragraph Story Map Using the story map strategy helps students focus on the major aspects or elements of a story such as setting character conflict rising action and resolution Initially these organizers can be created for whole groups to contribute as they become more familiar students can create story maps for texts they read independently There are a number of graphic variations on a story map available online ReadWriteThink (sponsored by the International Reading Association and National Council of Teachers of English) has an interactive version that students can complete located at httpwwwreadwritethinkorgfilesresourcesinteractivesstorymap Sample Questions How are Keisha and Lawanda alike and different What specific details from the story support your comparison bull What do you learn about Chris and John by the way they compete for the prize How are they alike and different Use specific details

The emphasis of this standard is the identification of the techniques used by the author to influence the readersrsquo feelings and attitudes The point of view of the narrator can impact the way that events are perceived through the use of techniques of characterization First person point of view can allow the reader to have a greater understanding of the emotions and thoughts of the character This causes the reader to relate and forge a bond with the character or narrator Third person point of view is more versatile because when the narrator reveals a character readers will perceive emotions thoughts and attitudes based on both the third person narration and their own background knowledge Teachers create a focus or word wall to emphasize signal words and phrases used by first person or narrator Teachers provide two sample passages one written in first person point of view one written in third person point of view for students to compare Teachers ask students to discuss why one point of view would be more effective than the other

RL53 Compare and contrast two or more characters settings or events in a story or drama hellip drawing on specific details in the text (eg how characters interact) Continued on the next page
This standard asks for the student to examine key traits from a text and compare and contrast them Use of a graphic organizer (eg Venn diagram or T-chart may assist students to understand the complexities of the characters settings and events through listing details) Teachers provide graphic organizers (eg T-chart Venn diagram or 2-3 columns) to assist in identifying and organizing story elements Teachers provide various examples of comparisons between characters setting or events to serve as a guide for students (Compare the main characters in The Secret Garden Frances Hodgson Burnett)
Literature Response In your journal create a character map of the main character in the historical novel you are reading Show how the character changes (or develops) over the course of the text Compare your character with one chosen by a classmate How are the characters similar How are they different (RL52 RL53) Pre-Reading Cards As a pre-reading activity provide students with index cards that have story element clues on them (ie a card might be labeled Setting ndash A small town) Have students read or hear read the first chapter of a selection Students record any inferences predictions or conclusions they develop based on what they heard Once students have completed the reading they review the cards to see how well they were able to infer predict or draw conclusions about the story element listed on their cards Later this can be turned into a short research paper that includes details from the text that support studentsrsquo original thoughts This activity can be adapted for shorter selections by reading only the first paragraph Story Map Using the story map strategy helps students focus on the major aspects or elements of a story such as setting character conflict rising action and resolution Initially these organizers can be created for whole groups to contribute as they become more familiar students can create story maps for texts they read independently There are a number of graphic variations on a story map available online ReadWriteThink (sponsored by the International Reading Association and National Council of Teachers of English) has an interactive version that students can complete located at httpwwwreadwritethinkorgfilesresourcesinteractivesstorymap Sample Questions How are Keisha and Lawanda alike and different What specific details from the story support your comparison bull What do you learn about Chris and John by the way they compete for the prize How are they alike and different Use specific details

The emphasis of this standard is employing strategies to analyze and apply knowledge of the structure and elements of literature Theme is the overarching message or universal idea of the text It is not bound by time or space and is generally true for all people throughout all time (eg itrsquos always better to work together honesty is the best policy) It requires thinking BEYOND the text students will not be able to find the answer directly stated in the text Strategies of inference need to be practiced Inference is a guess or conclusion based on evidence clues made by the author plus the readerrsquos own background knowledge Students summarize text incorporating explanation of the theme from their notes
Class Discussion Compare and contrast the presentation of a topic in two different formats such as baseball in ldquoCasey at the Batrdquo Ernest Lawrence Thayer to We are the Ship The Story of Negro League Baseball Kadir Nelson drawing on specific details from the text Your teacher may ask you to write your own response on a sticky note on a white board or in your journal and share it with a partner before or during the class discussion (RL52 SL51a b) Sample Questions What is the theme of _____ (text title) What details in the storypoemdrama help the reader determine this theme bull How does the author use the way Tyrone responds to his situation to develop the theme of the story bull Summarize the storydramapoem Lesson Plans and Activities

RL53 Compare and contrast two or more characters settings or events in a story or drama hellip drawing on specific details in the text (eg how characters interact) Continued on the next page
This standard asks for the student to examine key traits from a text and compare and contrast them Use of a graphic organizer (eg Venn diagram or T-chart may assist students to understand the complexities of the characters settings and events through listing details) Teachers provide graphic organizers (eg T-chart Venn diagram or 2-3 columns) to assist in identifying and organizing story elements Teachers provide various examples of comparisons between characters setting or events to serve as a guide for students (Compare the main characters in The Secret Garden Frances Hodgson Burnett)
Literature Response In your journal create a character map of the main character in the historical novel you are reading Show how the character changes (or develops) over the course of the text Compare your character with one chosen by a classmate How are the characters similar How are they different (RL52 RL53) Pre-Reading Cards As a pre-reading activity provide students with index cards that have story element clues on them (ie a card might be labeled Setting ndash A small town) Have students read or hear read the first chapter of a selection Students record any inferences predictions or conclusions they develop based on what they heard Once students have completed the reading they review the cards to see how well they were able to infer predict or draw conclusions about the story element listed on their cards Later this can be turned into a short research paper that includes details from the text that support studentsrsquo original thoughts This activity can be adapted for shorter selections by reading only the first paragraph Story Map Using the story map strategy helps students focus on the major aspects or elements of a story such as setting character conflict rising action and resolution Initially these organizers can be created for whole groups to contribute as they become more familiar students can create story maps for texts they read independently There are a number of graphic variations on a story map available online ReadWriteThink (sponsored by the International Reading Association and National Council of Teachers of English) has an interactive version that students can complete located at httpwwwreadwritethinkorgfilesresourcesinteractivesstorymap Sample Questions How are Keisha and Lawanda alike and different What specific details from the story support your comparison bull What do you learn about Chris and John by the way they compete for the prize How are they alike and different Use specific details

Vocabulary and Context Clues Students research the origins of selected idioms to reinforce their meanings Teachers encourage students to look for similes as they read independent novels and books (eg In Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes Eleanor Coerr Sadako says I am a turtle But is she really a turtle She is behaving like a turtle when she is not running fast)
Poetic Devices Not only do poets use a variety of formats rhyme schemes and meters but they use specific devices to make their poems unique Find examples of similes metaphors alliteration and onomatopoeia in poems from this unit and mark them with coded sticky notes Create a T-chart in your journal that includes the technique and examples of each Try to write your own poem that uses at least two of the techniques found (RL54 L55 W54) Anchor Charts Anchor charts are tools to aid students in remembering procedures and expectations related to topics in any content area They should be made with the students and added to throughout the year Post anchor charts in the classroom where they are easily accessible to students Anchor chart topics in reading could include class-generated information around general questions like ldquowhat do good readers dordquo or specific topics like figurative language In each case the charts would include information that explains and supports the studentsrsquo abilities to comprehend and evaluate text Picture Book Language Give small groups of students several picture books and have them look for words and phrases from those texts that reflect figurative language Have the scribe for the group record these words and phrases Group members should determine the specific type of figurative language the author used for each word or phrase found (ie simile metaphor) Each group can share their examples with the class and provide rationales for how each word or phrase was labeled Lesson Plans and Activities

RL56 Describe how a narratorrsquos or speakerrsquos point of view influences how events are described Continued on the next page
The emphasis of this standard is the identification of the techniques used by the author to influence the readersrsquo feelings and attitudes The point of view of the narrator can impact the way that events are perceived through the use of techniques of characterization First person point of view can allow the reader to have a greater understanding of the emotions and thoughts of the character This causes the reader to relate and forge a bond with the character or narrator Third person point of view is more versatile because when the narrator reveals a character readers will perceive emotions thoughts and attitudes based on both the third person narration and their own background knowledge Teachers create a focus or word wall to emphasize signal words and phrases used by first person or narrator Teachers provide two sample passages one written in first person point of view one written in third person point of view for students to compare Teachers ask students to discuss why one point of view would be more effective than the other

The emphasis of this standard is employing strategies to analyze and apply knowledge of the structure and elements of literature Theme is the overarching message or universal idea of the text It is not bound by time or space and is generally true for all people throughout all time (eg itrsquos always better to work together honesty is the best policy) It requires thinking BEYOND the text students will not be able to find the answer directly stated in the text Strategies of inference need to be practiced Inference is a guess or conclusion based on evidence clues made by the author plus the readerrsquos own background knowledge Students summarize text incorporating explanation of the theme from their notes
Class Discussion Compare and contrast the presentation of a topic in two different formats such as baseball in ldquoCasey at the Batrdquo Ernest Lawrence Thayer to We are the Ship The Story of Negro League Baseball Kadir Nelson drawing on specific details from the text Your teacher may ask you to write your own response on a sticky note on a white board or in your journal and share it with a partner before or during the class discussion (RL52 SL51a b) Sample Questions What is the theme of _____ (text title) What details in the storypoemdrama help the reader determine this theme bull How does the author use the way Tyrone responds to his situation to develop the theme of the story bull Summarize the storydramapoem Lesson Plans and Activities

RL53 Compare and contrast two or more characters settings or events in a story or drama hellip drawing on specific details in the text (eg how characters interact) Continued on the next page
This standard asks for the student to examine key traits from a text and compare and contrast them Use of a graphic organizer (eg Venn diagram or T-chart may assist students to understand the complexities of the characters settings and events through listing details) Teachers provide graphic organizers (eg T-chart Venn diagram or 2-3 columns) to assist in identifying and organizing story elements Teachers provide various examples of comparisons between characters setting or events to serve as a guide for students (Compare the main characters in The Secret Garden Frances Hodgson Burnett)
Literature Response In your journal create a character map of the main character in the historical novel you are reading Show how the character changes (or develops) over the course of the text Compare your character with one chosen by a classmate How are the characters similar How are they different (RL52 RL53) Pre-Reading Cards As a pre-reading activity provide students with index cards that have story element clues on them (ie a card might be labeled Setting ndash A small town) Have students read or hear read the first chapter of a selection Students record any inferences predictions or conclusions they develop based on what they heard Once students have completed the reading they review the cards to see how well they were able to infer predict or draw conclusions about the story element listed on their cards Later this can be turned into a short research paper that includes details from the text that support studentsrsquo original thoughts This activity can be adapted for shorter selections by reading only the first paragraph Story Map Using the story map strategy helps students focus on the major aspects or elements of a story such as setting character conflict rising action and resolution Initially these organizers can be created for whole groups to contribute as they become more familiar students can create story maps for texts they read independently There are a number of graphic variations on a story map available online ReadWriteThink (sponsored by the International Reading Association and National Council of Teachers of English) has an interactive version that students can complete located at httpwwwreadwritethinkorgfilesresourcesinteractivesstorymap Sample Questions How are Keisha and Lawanda alike and different What specific details from the story support your comparison bull What do you learn about Chris and John by the way they compete for the prize How are they alike and different Use specific details

Vocabulary and Context Clues Students research the origins of selected idioms to reinforce their meanings Teachers encourage students to look for similes as they read independent novels and books (eg In Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes Eleanor Coerr Sadako says I am a turtle But is she really a turtle She is behaving like a turtle when she is not running fast)
Poetic Devices Not only do poets use a variety of formats rhyme schemes and meters but they use specific devices to make their poems unique Find examples of similes metaphors alliteration and onomatopoeia in poems from this unit and mark them with coded sticky notes Create a T-chart in your journal that includes the technique and examples of each Try to write your own poem that uses at least two of the techniques found (RL54 L55 W54) Anchor Charts Anchor charts are tools to aid students in remembering procedures and expectations related to topics in any content area They should be made with the students and added to throughout the year Post anchor charts in the classroom where they are easily accessible to students Anchor chart topics in reading could include class-generated information around general questions like ldquowhat do good readers dordquo or specific topics like figurative language In each case the charts would include information that explains and supports the studentsrsquo abilities to comprehend and evaluate text Picture Book Language Give small groups of students several picture books and have them look for words and phrases from those texts that reflect figurative language Have the scribe for the group record these words and phrases Group members should determine the specific type of figurative language the author used for each word or phrase found (ie simile metaphor) Each group can share their examples with the class and provide rationales for how each word or phrase was labeled Lesson Plans and Activities

The emphasis of this standard is the identification of the techniques used by the author to influence the readersrsquo feelings and attitudes The point of view of the narrator can impact the way that events are perceived through the use of techniques of characterization First person point of view can allow the reader to have a greater understanding of the emotions and thoughts of the character This causes the reader to relate and forge a bond with the character or narrator Third person point of view is more versatile because when the narrator reveals a character readers will perceive emotions thoughts and attitudes based on both the third person narration and their own background knowledge Teachers create a focus or word wall to emphasize signal words and phrases used by first person or narrator Teachers provide two sample passages one written in first person point of view one written in third person point of view for students to compare Teachers ask students to discuss why one point of view would be more effective than the other

The emphasis of this standard is employing strategies to analyze and apply knowledge of the structure and elements of literature Theme is the overarching message or universal idea of the text It is not bound by time or space and is generally true for all people throughout all time (eg itrsquos always better to work together honesty is the best policy) It requires thinking BEYOND the text students will not be able to find the answer directly stated in the text Strategies of inference need to be practiced Inference is a guess or conclusion based on evidence clues made by the author plus the readerrsquos own background knowledge Students summarize text incorporating explanation of the theme from their notes

RL53 Compare and contrast two or more characters settings or events in a story or drama hellip drawing on specific details in the text (eg how characters interact) Continued on the next page
This standard asks for the student to examine key traits from a text and compare and contrast them Use of a graphic organizer (eg Venn diagram or T-chart may assist students to understand the complexities of the characters settings and events through listing details) Teachers provide graphic organizers (eg T-chart Venn diagram or 2-3 columns) to assist in identifying and organizing story elements Teachers provide various examples of comparisons between characters setting or events to serve as a guide for students (Compare the main characters in The Secret Garden Frances Hodgson Burnett)
Literature Response In your journal create a character map of the main character in the historical novel you are reading Show how the character changes (or develops) over the course of the text Compare your character with one chosen by a classmate How are the characters similar How are they different (RL52 RL53) Pre-Reading Cards As a pre-reading activity provide students with index cards that have story element clues on them (ie a card might be labeled Setting ndash A small town) Have students read or hear read the first chapter of a selection Students record any inferences predictions or conclusions they develop based on what they heard Once students have completed the reading they review the cards to see how well they were able to infer predict or draw conclusions about the story element listed on their cards Later this can be turned into a short research paper that includes details from the text that support studentsrsquo original thoughts This activity can be adapted for shorter selections by reading only the first paragraph Story Map Using the story map strategy helps students focus on the major aspects or elements of a story such as setting character conflict rising action and resolution Initially these organizers can be created for whole groups to contribute as they become more familiar students can create story maps for texts they read independently There are a number of graphic variations on a story map available online ReadWriteThink (sponsored by the International Reading Association and National Council of Teachers of English) has an interactive version that students can complete located at httpwwwreadwritethinkorgfilesresourcesinteractivesstorymap Sample Questions How are Keisha and Lawanda alike and different What specific details from the story support your comparison bull What do you learn about Chris and John by the way they compete for the prize How are they alike and different Use specific details

Students will develop their understanding of words phrases and figurative language through read-aloud stories teacher modeling and student-centered activities that are presented in the classroom Students will interpret words in many contexts Students highlight and discuss figurative language as it is encountered in text Students illustrate the literal and figurative meanings of figurative language (eg He lost his head running on empty frog in my throat)
Pinterest Board with Anchor Charts and Ideas for Figurative Language
Vocabulary and Context Clues Students research the origins of selected idioms to reinforce their meanings Teachers encourage students to look for similes as they read independent novels and books (eg In Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes Eleanor Coerr Sadako says I am a turtle But is she really a turtle She is behaving like a turtle when she is not running fast)
Poetic Devices Not only do poets use a variety of formats rhyme schemes and meters but they use specific devices to make their poems unique Find examples of similes metaphors alliteration and onomatopoeia in poems from this unit and mark them with coded sticky notes Create a T-chart in your journal that includes the technique and examples of each Try to write your own poem that uses at least two of the techniques found (RL54 L55 W54) Anchor Charts Anchor charts are tools to aid students in remembering procedures and expectations related to topics in any content area They should be made with the students and added to throughout the year Post anchor charts in the classroom where they are easily accessible to students Anchor chart topics in reading could include class-generated information around general questions like ldquowhat do good readers dordquo or specific topics like figurative language In each case the charts would include information that explains and supports the studentsrsquo abilities to comprehend and evaluate text Picture Book Language Give small groups of students several picture books and have them look for words and phrases from those texts that reflect figurative language Have the scribe for the group record these words and phrases Group members should determine the specific type of figurative language the author used for each word or phrase found (ie simile metaphor) Each group can share their examples with the class and provide rationales for how each word or phrase was labeled Lesson Plans and Activities

RL55 Explain how a series of chapters scenes or stanzas fits together to provide the overall structure of a particular story drama or poem Continued on the next page
The emphasis of this standard is the structure of a story and how the structure is made up of separate parts Students benefit from understanding the components of the story and plot such as the exposition rising action climax falling action and resolution The combination of structural elements come together to create a final piece Students create maps of the plot structure to outline the key events of the text Students rearrange the events and put them back in order Students diagram the plot of different selections using a graphic organizer to diagram the structures (eg Use the plot diagram to show exposition rising action climax denouement conclusion flowchart to show event divisions in chapters)

RL56 Describe how a narratorrsquos or speakerrsquos point of view influences how events are described Continued on the next page
The emphasis of this standard is the identification of the techniques used by the author to influence the readersrsquo feelings and attitudes The point of view of the narrator can impact the way that events are perceived through the use of techniques of characterization First person point of view can allow the reader to have a greater understanding of the emotions and thoughts of the character This causes the reader to relate and forge a bond with the character or narrator Third person point of view is more versatile because when the narrator reveals a character readers will perceive emotions thoughts and attitudes based on both the third person narration and their own background knowledge Teachers create a focus or word wall to emphasize signal words and phrases used by first person or narrator Teachers provide two sample passages one written in first person point of view one written in third person point of view for students to compare Teachers ask students to discuss why one point of view would be more effective than the other

The emphasis of this standard is employing strategies to analyze and apply knowledge of the structure and elements of literature Theme is the overarching message or universal idea of the text It is not bound by time or space and is generally true for all people throughout all time (eg itrsquos always better to work together honesty is the best policy) It requires thinking BEYOND the text students will not be able to find the answer directly stated in the text Strategies of inference need to be practiced Inference is a guess or conclusion based on evidence clues made by the author plus the readerrsquos own background knowledge Students summarize text incorporating explanation of the theme from their notes
Class Discussion Compare and contrast the presentation of a topic in two different formats such as baseball in ldquoCasey at the Batrdquo Ernest Lawrence Thayer to We are the Ship The Story of Negro League Baseball Kadir Nelson drawing on specific details from the text Your teacher may ask you to write your own response on a sticky note on a white board or in your journal and share it with a partner before or during the class discussion (RL52 SL51a b) Sample Questions What is the theme of _____ (text title) What details in the storypoemdrama help the reader determine this theme bull How does the author use the way Tyrone responds to his situation to develop the theme of the story bull Summarize the storydramapoem Lesson Plans and Activities

RL53 Compare and contrast two or more characters settings or events in a story or drama hellip drawing on specific details in the text (eg how characters interact) Continued on the next page
This standard asks for the student to examine key traits from a text and compare and contrast them Use of a graphic organizer (eg Venn diagram or T-chart may assist students to understand the complexities of the characters settings and events through listing details) Teachers provide graphic organizers (eg T-chart Venn diagram or 2-3 columns) to assist in identifying and organizing story elements Teachers provide various examples of comparisons between characters setting or events to serve as a guide for students (Compare the main characters in The Secret Garden Frances Hodgson Burnett)
Literature Response In your journal create a character map of the main character in the historical novel you are reading Show how the character changes (or develops) over the course of the text Compare your character with one chosen by a classmate How are the characters similar How are they different (RL52 RL53) Pre-Reading Cards As a pre-reading activity provide students with index cards that have story element clues on them (ie a card might be labeled Setting ndash A small town) Have students read or hear read the first chapter of a selection Students record any inferences predictions or conclusions they develop based on what they heard Once students have completed the reading they review the cards to see how well they were able to infer predict or draw conclusions about the story element listed on their cards Later this can be turned into a short research paper that includes details from the text that support studentsrsquo original thoughts This activity can be adapted for shorter selections by reading only the first paragraph Story Map Using the story map strategy helps students focus on the major aspects or elements of a story such as setting character conflict rising action and resolution Initially these organizers can be created for whole groups to contribute as they become more familiar students can create story maps for texts they read independently There are a number of graphic variations on a story map available online ReadWriteThink (sponsored by the International Reading Association and National Council of Teachers of English) has an interactive version that students can complete located at httpwwwreadwritethinkorgfilesresourcesinteractivesstorymap Sample Questions How are Keisha and Lawanda alike and different What specific details from the story support your comparison bull What do you learn about Chris and John by the way they compete for the prize How are they alike and different Use specific details

Students will develop their understanding of words phrases and figurative language through read-aloud stories teacher modeling and student-centered activities that are presented in the classroom Students will interpret words in many contexts Students highlight and discuss figurative language as it is encountered in text Students illustrate the literal and figurative meanings of figurative language (eg He lost his head running on empty frog in my throat)
Pinterest Board with Anchor Charts and Ideas for Figurative Language
Vocabulary and Context Clues Students research the origins of selected idioms to reinforce their meanings Teachers encourage students to look for similes as they read independent novels and books (eg In Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes Eleanor Coerr Sadako says I am a turtle But is she really a turtle She is behaving like a turtle when she is not running fast)
Poetic Devices Not only do poets use a variety of formats rhyme schemes and meters but they use specific devices to make their poems unique Find examples of similes metaphors alliteration and onomatopoeia in poems from this unit and mark them with coded sticky notes Create a T-chart in your journal that includes the technique and examples of each Try to write your own poem that uses at least two of the techniques found (RL54 L55 W54) Anchor Charts Anchor charts are tools to aid students in remembering procedures and expectations related to topics in any content area They should be made with the students and added to throughout the year Post anchor charts in the classroom where they are easily accessible to students Anchor chart topics in reading could include class-generated information around general questions like ldquowhat do good readers dordquo or specific topics like figurative language In each case the charts would include information that explains and supports the studentsrsquo abilities to comprehend and evaluate text Picture Book Language Give small groups of students several picture books and have them look for words and phrases from those texts that reflect figurative language Have the scribe for the group record these words and phrases Group members should determine the specific type of figurative language the author used for each word or phrase found (ie simile metaphor) Each group can share their examples with the class and provide rationales for how each word or phrase was labeled Lesson Plans and Activities

RL55 Explain how a series of chapters scenes or stanzas fits together to provide the overall structure of a particular story drama or poem Continued on the next page
The emphasis of this standard is the structure of a story and how the structure is made up of separate parts Students benefit from understanding the components of the story and plot such as the exposition rising action climax falling action and resolution The combination of structural elements come together to create a final piece Students create maps of the plot structure to outline the key events of the text Students rearrange the events and put them back in order Students diagram the plot of different selections using a graphic organizer to diagram the structures (eg Use the plot diagram to show exposition rising action climax denouement conclusion flowchart to show event divisions in chapters)
Thinking StemsAnchor Chart Novel bull Does each chapter supply meaning to the story bull How does the first chapter help us to understand the second chapter bull Explain how the ___ chapter helps the reader to understand the setting of the story Use examples from the story in your explanation bull In which chapter does the author introduce what the main character wants Use examples from the story in your explanation

RL56 Describe how a narratorrsquos or speakerrsquos point of view influences how events are described Continued on the next page
The emphasis of this standard is the identification of the techniques used by the author to influence the readersrsquo feelings and attitudes The point of view of the narrator can impact the way that events are perceived through the use of techniques of characterization First person point of view can allow the reader to have a greater understanding of the emotions and thoughts of the character This causes the reader to relate and forge a bond with the character or narrator Third person point of view is more versatile because when the narrator reveals a character readers will perceive emotions thoughts and attitudes based on both the third person narration and their own background knowledge Teachers create a focus or word wall to emphasize signal words and phrases used by first person or narrator Teachers provide two sample passages one written in first person point of view one written in third person point of view for students to compare Teachers ask students to discuss why one point of view would be more effective than the other

RL53 Compare and contrast two or more characters settings or events in a story or drama hellip drawing on specific details in the text (eg how characters interact) Continued on the next page
This standard asks for the student to examine key traits from a text and compare and contrast them Use of a graphic organizer (eg Venn diagram or T-chart may assist students to understand the complexities of the characters settings and events through listing details) Teachers provide graphic organizers (eg T-chart Venn diagram or 2-3 columns) to assist in identifying and organizing story elements Teachers provide various examples of comparisons between characters setting or events to serve as a guide for students (Compare the main characters in The Secret Garden Frances Hodgson Burnett)
Literature Response In your journal create a character map of the main character in the historical novel you are reading Show how the character changes (or develops) over the course of the text Compare your character with one chosen by a classmate How are the characters similar How are they different (RL52 RL53) Pre-Reading Cards As a pre-reading activity provide students with index cards that have story element clues on them (ie a card might be labeled Setting ndash A small town) Have students read or hear read the first chapter of a selection Students record any inferences predictions or conclusions they develop based on what they heard Once students have completed the reading they review the cards to see how well they were able to infer predict or draw conclusions about the story element listed on their cards Later this can be turned into a short research paper that includes details from the text that support studentsrsquo original thoughts This activity can be adapted for shorter selections by reading only the first paragraph Story Map Using the story map strategy helps students focus on the major aspects or elements of a story such as setting character conflict rising action and resolution Initially these organizers can be created for whole groups to contribute as they become more familiar students can create story maps for texts they read independently There are a number of graphic variations on a story map available online ReadWriteThink (sponsored by the International Reading Association and National Council of Teachers of English) has an interactive version that students can complete located at httpwwwreadwritethinkorgfilesresourcesinteractivesstorymap Sample Questions How are Keisha and Lawanda alike and different What specific details from the story support your comparison bull What do you learn about Chris and John by the way they compete for the prize How are they alike and different Use specific details

Vocabulary and Context Clues Students research the origins of selected idioms to reinforce their meanings Teachers encourage students to look for similes as they read independent novels and books (eg In Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes Eleanor Coerr Sadako says I am a turtle But is she really a turtle She is behaving like a turtle when she is not running fast)
Poetic Devices Not only do poets use a variety of formats rhyme schemes and meters but they use specific devices to make their poems unique Find examples of similes metaphors alliteration and onomatopoeia in poems from this unit and mark them with coded sticky notes Create a T-chart in your journal that includes the technique and examples of each Try to write your own poem that uses at least two of the techniques found (RL54 L55 W54) Anchor Charts Anchor charts are tools to aid students in remembering procedures and expectations related to topics in any content area They should be made with the students and added to throughout the year Post anchor charts in the classroom where they are easily accessible to students Anchor chart topics in reading could include class-generated information around general questions like ldquowhat do good readers dordquo or specific topics like figurative language In each case the charts would include information that explains and supports the studentsrsquo abilities to comprehend and evaluate text Picture Book Language Give small groups of students several picture books and have them look for words and phrases from those texts that reflect figurative language Have the scribe for the group record these words and phrases Group members should determine the specific type of figurative language the author used for each word or phrase found (ie simile metaphor) Each group can share their examples with the class and provide rationales for how each word or phrase was labeled Lesson Plans and Activities

The emphasis of this standard is the structure of a story and how the structure is made up of separate parts Students benefit from understanding the components of the story and plot such as the exposition rising action climax falling action and resolution The combination of structural elements come together to create a final piece Students create maps of the plot structure to outline the key events of the text Students rearrange the events and put them back in order Students diagram the plot of different selections using a graphic organizer to diagram the structures (eg Use the plot diagram to show exposition rising action climax denouement conclusion flowchart to show event divisions in chapters)

RL56 Describe how a narratorrsquos or speakerrsquos point of view influences how events are described Continued on the next page
The emphasis of this standard is the identification of the techniques used by the author to influence the readersrsquo feelings and attitudes The point of view of the narrator can impact the way that events are perceived through the use of techniques of characterization First person point of view can allow the reader to have a greater understanding of the emotions and thoughts of the character This causes the reader to relate and forge a bond with the character or narrator Third person point of view is more versatile because when the narrator reveals a character readers will perceive emotions thoughts and attitudes based on both the third person narration and their own background knowledge Teachers create a focus or word wall to emphasize signal words and phrases used by first person or narrator Teachers provide two sample passages one written in first person point of view one written in third person point of view for students to compare Teachers ask students to discuss why one point of view would be more effective than the other

RL53 Compare and contrast two or more characters settings or events in a story or drama hellip drawing on specific details in the text (eg how characters interact) Continued on the next page
This standard asks for the student to examine key traits from a text and compare and contrast them Use of a graphic organizer (eg Venn diagram or T-chart may assist students to understand the complexities of the characters settings and events through listing details) Teachers provide graphic organizers (eg T-chart Venn diagram or 2-3 columns) to assist in identifying and organizing story elements Teachers provide various examples of comparisons between characters setting or events to serve as a guide for students (Compare the main characters in The Secret Garden Frances Hodgson Burnett)
Literature Response In your journal create a character map of the main character in the historical novel you are reading Show how the character changes (or develops) over the course of the text Compare your character with one chosen by a classmate How are the characters similar How are they different (RL52 RL53) Pre-Reading Cards As a pre-reading activity provide students with index cards that have story element clues on them (ie a card might be labeled Setting ndash A small town) Have students read or hear read the first chapter of a selection Students record any inferences predictions or conclusions they develop based on what they heard Once students have completed the reading they review the cards to see how well they were able to infer predict or draw conclusions about the story element listed on their cards Later this can be turned into a short research paper that includes details from the text that support studentsrsquo original thoughts This activity can be adapted for shorter selections by reading only the first paragraph Story Map Using the story map strategy helps students focus on the major aspects or elements of a story such as setting character conflict rising action and resolution Initially these organizers can be created for whole groups to contribute as they become more familiar students can create story maps for texts they read independently There are a number of graphic variations on a story map available online ReadWriteThink (sponsored by the International Reading Association and National Council of Teachers of English) has an interactive version that students can complete located at httpwwwreadwritethinkorgfilesresourcesinteractivesstorymap Sample Questions How are Keisha and Lawanda alike and different What specific details from the story support your comparison bull What do you learn about Chris and John by the way they compete for the prize How are they alike and different Use specific details

RL54 Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text hellip including figurative language such as metaphors and similes Continued on the next page
Students will develop their understanding of words phrases and figurative language through read-aloud stories teacher modeling and student-centered activities that are presented in the classroom Students will interpret words in many contexts Students highlight and discuss figurative language as it is encountered in text Students illustrate the literal and figurative meanings of figurative language (eg He lost his head running on empty frog in my throat)
Pinterest Board with Anchor Charts and Ideas for Figurative Language
Vocabulary and Context Clues Students research the origins of selected idioms to reinforce their meanings Teachers encourage students to look for similes as they read independent novels and books (eg In Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes Eleanor Coerr Sadako says I am a turtle But is she really a turtle She is behaving like a turtle when she is not running fast)
Poetic Devices Not only do poets use a variety of formats rhyme schemes and meters but they use specific devices to make their poems unique Find examples of similes metaphors alliteration and onomatopoeia in poems from this unit and mark them with coded sticky notes Create a T-chart in your journal that includes the technique and examples of each Try to write your own poem that uses at least two of the techniques found (RL54 L55 W54) Anchor Charts Anchor charts are tools to aid students in remembering procedures and expectations related to topics in any content area They should be made with the students and added to throughout the year Post anchor charts in the classroom where they are easily accessible to students Anchor chart topics in reading could include class-generated information around general questions like ldquowhat do good readers dordquo or specific topics like figurative language In each case the charts would include information that explains and supports the studentsrsquo abilities to comprehend and evaluate text Picture Book Language Give small groups of students several picture books and have them look for words and phrases from those texts that reflect figurative language Have the scribe for the group record these words and phrases Group members should determine the specific type of figurative language the author used for each word or phrase found (ie simile metaphor) Each group can share their examples with the class and provide rationales for how each word or phrase was labeled Lesson Plans and Activities

Craft and Structure Explanation Instructional Activities and Strategies
RL55 Explain how a series of chapters scenes or stanzas fits together to provide the overall structure of a particular story drama or poem Continued on the next page
The emphasis of this standard is the structure of a story and how the structure is made up of separate parts Students benefit from understanding the components of the story and plot such as the exposition rising action climax falling action and resolution The combination of structural elements come together to create a final piece Students create maps of the plot structure to outline the key events of the text Students rearrange the events and put them back in order Students diagram the plot of different selections using a graphic organizer to diagram the structures (eg Use the plot diagram to show exposition rising action climax denouement conclusion flowchart to show event divisions in chapters)

RL56 Describe how a narratorrsquos or speakerrsquos point of view influences how events are described Continued on the next page
The emphasis of this standard is the identification of the techniques used by the author to influence the readersrsquo feelings and attitudes The point of view of the narrator can impact the way that events are perceived through the use of techniques of characterization First person point of view can allow the reader to have a greater understanding of the emotions and thoughts of the character This causes the reader to relate and forge a bond with the character or narrator Third person point of view is more versatile because when the narrator reveals a character readers will perceive emotions thoughts and attitudes based on both the third person narration and their own background knowledge Teachers create a focus or word wall to emphasize signal words and phrases used by first person or narrator Teachers provide two sample passages one written in first person point of view one written in third person point of view for students to compare Teachers ask students to discuss why one point of view would be more effective than the other

Students will develop their understanding of words phrases and figurative language through read-aloud stories teacher modeling and student-centered activities that are presented in the classroom Students will interpret words in many contexts Students highlight and discuss figurative language as it is encountered in text Students illustrate the literal and figurative meanings of figurative language (eg He lost his head running on empty frog in my throat)
Pinterest Board with Anchor Charts and Ideas for Figurative Language
Vocabulary and Context Clues Students research the origins of selected idioms to reinforce their meanings Teachers encourage students to look for similes as they read independent novels and books (eg In Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes Eleanor Coerr Sadako says I am a turtle But is she really a turtle She is behaving like a turtle when she is not running fast)
Poetic Devices Not only do poets use a variety of formats rhyme schemes and meters but they use specific devices to make their poems unique Find examples of similes metaphors alliteration and onomatopoeia in poems from this unit and mark them with coded sticky notes Create a T-chart in your journal that includes the technique and examples of each Try to write your own poem that uses at least two of the techniques found (RL54 L55 W54) Anchor Charts Anchor charts are tools to aid students in remembering procedures and expectations related to topics in any content area They should be made with the students and added to throughout the year Post anchor charts in the classroom where they are easily accessible to students Anchor chart topics in reading could include class-generated information around general questions like ldquowhat do good readers dordquo or specific topics like figurative language In each case the charts would include information that explains and supports the studentsrsquo abilities to comprehend and evaluate text Picture Book Language Give small groups of students several picture books and have them look for words and phrases from those texts that reflect figurative language Have the scribe for the group record these words and phrases Group members should determine the specific type of figurative language the author used for each word or phrase found (ie simile metaphor) Each group can share their examples with the class and provide rationales for how each word or phrase was labeled Lesson Plans and Activities

RL55 Explain how a series of chapters scenes or stanzas fits together to provide the overall structure of a particular story drama or poem Continued on the next page
The emphasis of this standard is the structure of a story and how the structure is made up of separate parts Students benefit from understanding the components of the story and plot such as the exposition rising action climax falling action and resolution The combination of structural elements come together to create a final piece Students create maps of the plot structure to outline the key events of the text Students rearrange the events and put them back in order Students diagram the plot of different selections using a graphic organizer to diagram the structures (eg Use the plot diagram to show exposition rising action climax denouement conclusion flowchart to show event divisions in chapters)

RL56 Describe how a narratorrsquos or speakerrsquos point of view influences how events are described Continued on the next page
The emphasis of this standard is the identification of the techniques used by the author to influence the readersrsquo feelings and attitudes The point of view of the narrator can impact the way that events are perceived through the use of techniques of characterization First person point of view can allow the reader to have a greater understanding of the emotions and thoughts of the character This causes the reader to relate and forge a bond with the character or narrator Third person point of view is more versatile because when the narrator reveals a character readers will perceive emotions thoughts and attitudes based on both the third person narration and their own background knowledge Teachers create a focus or word wall to emphasize signal words and phrases used by first person or narrator Teachers provide two sample passages one written in first person point of view one written in third person point of view for students to compare Teachers ask students to discuss why one point of view would be more effective than the other

The emphasis of this standard is the identification of the techniques used by the author to influence the readersrsquo feelings and attitudes The point of view of the narrator can impact the way that events are perceived through the use of techniques of characterization First person point of view can allow the reader to have a greater understanding of the emotions and thoughts of the character This causes the reader to relate and forge a bond with the character or narrator Third person point of view is more versatile because when the narrator reveals a character readers will perceive emotions thoughts and attitudes based on both the third person narration and their own background knowledge Teachers create a focus or word wall to emphasize signal words and phrases used by first person or narrator Teachers provide two sample passages one written in first person point of view one written in third person point of view for students to compare Teachers ask students to discuss why one point of view would be more effective than the other

Students will develop their understanding of words phrases and figurative language through read-aloud stories teacher modeling and student-centered activities that are presented in the classroom Students will interpret words in many contexts Students highlight and discuss figurative language as it is encountered in text Students illustrate the literal and figurative meanings of figurative language (eg He lost his head running on empty frog in my throat)
Pinterest Board with Anchor Charts and Ideas for Figurative Language
Vocabulary and Context Clues Students research the origins of selected idioms to reinforce their meanings Teachers encourage students to look for similes as they read independent novels and books (eg In Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes Eleanor Coerr Sadako says I am a turtle But is she really a turtle She is behaving like a turtle when she is not running fast)

The emphasis of this standard is the structure of a story and how the structure is made up of separate parts Students benefit from understanding the components of the story and plot such as the exposition rising action climax falling action and resolution The combination of structural elements come together to create a final piece Students create maps of the plot structure to outline the key events of the text Students rearrange the events and put them back in order Students diagram the plot of different selections using a graphic organizer to diagram the structures (eg Use the plot diagram to show exposition rising action climax denouement conclusion flowchart to show event divisions in chapters)

RL56 Describe how a narratorrsquos or speakerrsquos point of view influences how events are described Continued on the next page
The emphasis of this standard is the identification of the techniques used by the author to influence the readersrsquo feelings and attitudes The point of view of the narrator can impact the way that events are perceived through the use of techniques of characterization First person point of view can allow the reader to have a greater understanding of the emotions and thoughts of the character This causes the reader to relate and forge a bond with the character or narrator Third person point of view is more versatile because when the narrator reveals a character readers will perceive emotions thoughts and attitudes based on both the third person narration and their own background knowledge Teachers create a focus or word wall to emphasize signal words and phrases used by first person or narrator Teachers provide two sample passages one written in first person point of view one written in third person point of view for students to compare Teachers ask students to discuss why one point of view would be more effective than the other

RL56 Describe how a narratorrsquos or speakerrsquos point of view influences how events are described Continued on the next page
The emphasis of this standard is the identification of the techniques used by the author to influence the readersrsquo feelings and attitudes The point of view of the narrator can impact the way that events are perceived through the use of techniques of characterization First person point of view can allow the reader to have a greater understanding of the emotions and thoughts of the character This causes the reader to relate and forge a bond with the character or narrator Third person point of view is more versatile because when the narrator reveals a character readers will perceive emotions thoughts and attitudes based on both the third person narration and their own background knowledge Teachers create a focus or word wall to emphasize signal words and phrases used by first person or narrator Teachers provide two sample passages one written in first person point of view one written in third person point of view for students to compare Teachers ask students to discuss why one point of view would be more effective than the other

Craft and Structure Explanation Instructional Activities and Strategies
RL55 Explain how a series of chapters scenes or stanzas fits together to provide the overall structure of a particular story drama or poem Continued on the next page
The emphasis of this standard is the structure of a story and how the structure is made up of separate parts Students benefit from understanding the components of the story and plot such as the exposition rising action climax falling action and resolution The combination of structural elements come together to create a final piece Students create maps of the plot structure to outline the key events of the text Students rearrange the events and put them back in order Students diagram the plot of different selections using a graphic organizer to diagram the structures (eg Use the plot diagram to show exposition rising action climax denouement conclusion flowchart to show event divisions in chapters)

RL56 Describe how a narratorrsquos or speakerrsquos point of view influences how events are described Continued on the next page
The emphasis of this standard is the identification of the techniques used by the author to influence the readersrsquo feelings and attitudes The point of view of the narrator can impact the way that events are perceived through the use of techniques of characterization First person point of view can allow the reader to have a greater understanding of the emotions and thoughts of the character This causes the reader to relate and forge a bond with the character or narrator Third person point of view is more versatile because when the narrator reveals a character readers will perceive emotions thoughts and attitudes based on both the third person narration and their own background knowledge Teachers create a focus or word wall to emphasize signal words and phrases used by first person or narrator Teachers provide two sample passages one written in first person point of view one written in third person point of view for students to compare Teachers ask students to discuss why one point of view would be more effective than the other

RL56 Describe how a narratorrsquos or speakerrsquos point of view influences how events are described Continued on the next page
The emphasis of this standard is the identification of the techniques used by the author to influence the readersrsquo feelings and attitudes The point of view of the narrator can impact the way that events are perceived through the use of techniques of characterization First person point of view can allow the reader to have a greater understanding of the emotions and thoughts of the character This causes the reader to relate and forge a bond with the character or narrator Third person point of view is more versatile because when the narrator reveals a character readers will perceive emotions thoughts and attitudes based on both the third person narration and their own background knowledge Teachers create a focus or word wall to emphasize signal words and phrases used by first person or narrator Teachers provide two sample passages one written in first person point of view one written in third person point of view for students to compare Teachers ask students to discuss why one point of view would be more effective than the other

RL56 Describe how a narratorrsquos or speakerrsquos point of view influences how events are described Continued on the next page
The emphasis of this standard is the identification of the techniques used by the author to influence the readersrsquo feelings and attitudes The point of view of the narrator can impact the way that events are perceived through the use of techniques of characterization First person point of view can allow the reader to have a greater understanding of the emotions and thoughts of the character This causes the reader to relate and forge a bond with the character or narrator Third person point of view is more versatile because when the narrator reveals a character readers will perceive emotions thoughts and attitudes based on both the third person narration and their own background knowledge Teachers create a focus or word wall to emphasize signal words and phrases used by first person or narrator Teachers provide two sample passages one written in first person point of view one written in third person point of view for students to compare Teachers ask students to discuss why one point of view would be more effective than the other

RL59 Compare and contrast stories in the same genre (eg mysteries and adventure stories) on their approaches to similar themes and topics Continued on the next page
This standard asks students to look at two or more works with the same theme or topic Students consider the effect of the authorsrsquo different approaches Students use charts and graphic organizers to assist them with examining the differences and similarities between stories Teachers have students work with partners or groups to compare and contrast two stories regarding similar topics (eg Misty of Chincoteague by Marguerite Henry and Black Beauty by Anna Sewell both tell the story of a horse and the relationship with their owners)
Comparing Across Books Lesson Plan
Class Discussion Why do tricksters ignore conventional cultural behavior Why are these characters often personifications and not human What impact does culture have on the tale Talk with a classmate to share ideas and then write your favorite ideas down in your journal prior to class discussion (RL59) Tall Tales ndash Genre Study Students read and discuss folk tales focusing on character actions and traits In collaborative groups students work to summarize plot points and character traits As a group post story information onto a multi-story character-study matrix which includes appearance ability setting relationships with others problems accomplishments and resolutions The process can be repeated for multiple characters across books so that characters can be compared and contrasted An example of a character-study matrix can be found at ReadWriteThink at httpwwwreadwritethinkorgfilesresourceslesson-docsSampleCharacterMatrixpdf
Sample Questions bull How are ______ (text title) and ______ (text title) alike and different in their approach to similar themes Which text is more effective in relaying this theme Why Use examples from both texts to support your answer (Texts should be two stories of the same genremdashtwo mysteries or two adventure stories) bull How are ______ (text title) and ______ (text title) alike and different in their approach to similar topics Which text is more interesting Why Use examples from both texts to support your answer (Texts should be two stories of the same genremdashtwo mysteries or two adventure stories)

Formative Assessment Opportunities Students who are unable to think about how the author chose to convey the theme of their story to the reader will need small group instruction and one on one instruction During instruction andor conferring be sure to keep the word ldquoauthorrdquo in your prompting and questioning Ask the student ldquoWhat is the theme How did the author convey that theme How did they use the characters to convey the theme How did the setting contribute to the authorrsquos approach to the themerdquo Students who continue to struggle may benefit from thinking about the authorrsquos approach to
stories that have very familiar themes such as never give up
