Have students read the Essential Question on page 132 of the Reading/ Writing Workshop. Tell them that to adapt means to change over time. Discuss the photograph of the chameleon with students. Focus on the traits that allow it to survive, or keep living, in its environment. Tell students that animals have special characteristics that help them survive. Let students know that you will be reading aloud a passage about the unique adaptations of some animals. Tell students to listen carefully for facts about animal adaptations as you read.Explain that the passage you will read aloud is expository text. Discuss features of expository text: usually begins with an introductory paragraph that explains the main idea of the text informs readers about a topic uses text features such as headings, photographs, and captions to organize information in a way that is interesting and easy to follow Point out that readers can summarize key ideas and details as they read by stopping briefly and restating what they have just read in their own words. To find out if a detail is important, they may ask, “Would I understand the main idea without this detail?” Use the Think Alouds on page T205 to model the strategy. Genre Features With students, discuss the elements of the Read Aloud that let them know it is an expository text. Ask them to think about other texts that you have read or they have read independently that were expository text.WSMcGraw-Hill Reading WondersReading/Writing WorkshopYour Turn practice bookLeveled ReadersLeveled WorkStation CardsSuperTeacherWorksheetsTriumph OnlineStudy IslandReading Wonders Phonics/Spelling practiceReading Wonders Grammar practiceFormative- Observations, questioning, discussion, thumbs up/down, exit slip, PDN, lesson quizSummative- skill test at completion of unitMcGraw-Hill – Weekly, Unit, & Benchmark AssessmentsStudent Self - Assessment- individual or small group discussion17Follow agreed-upon rules for discussions and carry out assigned roles.
