ESSENTIAL QUESTION: MODULE 1
How do our senses help us learn?
FOCUSING QUESTION: Lessons 1-5
What are our fve senses?
CONTENT FRAMING QUESTION: Lesson 1
Wonder: What do I notice and wonder about My Five Senses?
CRAFT QUESTION: Lesson 1
Examine: Why is organizing your writing important?
Experiment: How does organizing a Response Journal work?
Students use the Wonder Wheel to develop questions after reading Margaret Miller’s My Five Senses for the frst time. This builds the foundation for the Wonder content stage, where students begin monitoring their reading by becoming aware of what they notice and wonder. Students also focus on how to organize a Response Journal before organizing an entry of their own.

3 MIN.
READ THE ESSENTIAL QUESTION
Read out the following scenarios and ask students to stand if they have ever had the experience of:
Smelling something delicious.
Tasting something sour.
Seeing something really big.
Hearing something really loud.
Touching something very soft.
Explain that this module will help to make sense of these experiences and many more!
Explain to students that over the next few months, they will be trying to answer a big question, called the Essential Question. Essential Questions take a lot of thinking and learning to answer. The students will work together to fnd answers using the books they read. They will also answer smaller questions along the way to help fnd the answer to the Essential Question.
Post and read the Essential Question aloud, pointing to each word as you say it. As you read the word how, model a Nonverbal Signal* by holding up both hands out in a questioning manner.
TEACHER NOTE
Leave the Essential Question posted for students to reference throughout the module.
Students Echo Read the Essential Question using the Nonverbal Signal for how.
Explain to students that this module will be about using tools we already have to learn about the exciting world around us, including the world of reading.
Launch
TEACHER NOTE
9 MIN.
ForReviewOnly
This framework of questioning, as well as the particular questions introduced here, will be continually revisited over the course of the module. Lingering on them is not necessary; rather, allow for students’ productive struggle, scaffolded by repetition, to help students grasp the process and fnd the answers.
Post the Focusing Question and Content Framing Question.
Read aloud the Focusing Question and Content Framing Question.
Explain to students that Focusing Questions are medium-size questions that help them build toward answering the big Essential Question. They will think about the same Focusing Question for several days in a row.
Read the Focusing Question. Point to the word senses and ask two student volunteers to share what they know about their senses. Reinforce that they will be better able to answer this question after reading and discussing texts in the next couple of days.
Put senses on the Word Wall as a module word.
Remind students that they have one more question to think about: the Content Framing Question. Explain that the Essential Question will take more than a month, the Focusing Question will take about a week, and the Content Framing Question will take about a day. Write these words in different sizes on the board, where the questions are posted, to help convey the meaning. Introduce the day’s Content Framing Question, noting that it is the question that their work for the day will go toward answering.
Ask: “What does it mean to notice?”
Use Equity Sticks* to choose two students to share their thinking. Use responses to reinforce that to notice is to look or listen carefully to and see what catches your attention.
Ask: “What does it mean to wonder?” Volunteers respond.
Use student responses to reinforce that wondering means being curious and coming up with questions to fnd answers for the next time you read. Explain that noticing and wondering as we read a book for the frst time helps us better understand what we are reading, know what we might be able to learn by looking at the book again, and get excited about rereading.
Put notice on the Word Wall as a year-long word.
Explain that the students’ job is to notice and wonder as they read Margaret Miller’s My Five Senses.

TEACHER NOTE The pages of My Five Senses are not numbered. Page 1 is the page that begins “I have two eyes, a nose.” Consider writing small page numbers in your text for easy reference.
Read the title and author’s name to students. Prompt students to look at the copy of the book in your hands.
Read and label the front cover, back cover, and title page of the text, pointing to each with your fnger as you do. Students Echo Read the labels.
Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share, and ask: “What does the front cover tell us about the book?”
n It tells us the name or the title.
n It tells us what it could be about.
n It shows us a picture of someone in it.
Ask: “What does the back cover tell us about the book?” Volunteers respond.
n It tells us more about it.
n There are some more pictures of people in it.
Ask: “What does the title page tell us about the book?” Volunteers respond
n We learn the title again.
n It says who wrote it, too.
n It gives us another picture of the girl in it.
n It reminds us of what it’s about.
Read the text aloud with minimal interruptions.
Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share, and ask: “What did you learn from this book?”
n I learned there are fve senses.
n I learned that garbage is smelly.
n I learned that you use your body.
Return to the text and display pages 1–2. Students Echo Read the text multiple times, practicing the gestures in the pictures.
RESPOND CHORALLY 5 MIN.
Whole Group
Display the following sentence frames:
ForReviewOnly
I see with my _____.
I smell with my _____.
I taste with my _____.
I hear with my _____.
I feel with my _____.
As you introduce each sentence frame, draw students’ attention toward the sense. Put see, smell, taste, hear, and feel on the Word Wall as module words below the senses entry.
To reinforce learning, students respond chorally to the frames. Model how to say each word audibly and clearly. Students verbally respond while pointing to the corresponding body part. Repeat several times.
Continue working Echo or Choral Readings of these lines into lessons until students can recite them fuently.
SHARE OBSERVATIONS
Pairs
20 MIN.
Remind students that readers notice and wonder—or see what things strike them and then ask questions—as they read so that they have an easier time understanding what they read. Tell students that frst they will discuss what they noticed.
Introduce Nonverbal Signals for speaking and listening. Explain that an important part of being a member of this learning community is having guidelines that help everyone learn. When students want to share, they should put a hand on top of their head to signal that they have something in their mind that they notice. Students will take turns sharing their observations. When students are not sharing, they should point to their ears to indicate that they’re listening to others. Prompt students to practice these gestures.
Differentiation
Create response cards with an image for notice, such as the one below. Show students how to hold up their cards when they have a notice to share.
Model noticing using the spread on the sense of sight (pages 3–6). While displaying the spread, point to the images and use the following sentence frame to share what you notice: I notice ______.
Scaffold
ForReviewOnly
If students struggle with the word notice, consider substituting see for this lesson while looking for opportunities to reinforce the connection between the two terms.
Give half of the class a copy of the text. Students who have a book fnd a partner. The student holding the book chooses a page and uses the sentence frame to share one notice from that page. After sharing, pairs switch roles to repeat the process.
TEACHER NOTE
Circulate as students share and offer support as they become comfortable making observations and using the sentence frame to respond.
SHARE QUESTIONS 6 MIN.
Whole Group
Display the Wonder Wheel.
WONDER WHEEL CHART
I wonder...? whowhere how when why what
Remind students that they will also wonder, or ask questions, about a text. Students Echo Read the question words on the Wonder Wheel.
To practice, students chorally respond to and generate a few simple questions using the questions on the Wonder Wheel, such as: “Who is your teacher? Where is your seat? What is your name? Where do you go to school? How old are you?”
ForReviewOnly
Scaffold
Make up a Nonverbal Signal for each question word, and use it each time you want to emphasize that word in this and future conversations.
Rather than beginning with the entire Wonder Wheel, choose 2 to 3 question words to focus on at a time.
Create a Wonder Chart by labeling chart paper with Wonders for My Five Senses by Margaret Miller.
Return to the page spreads for the sense of sight and model how to use a question word from the Wonder Wheel. Record your question on the chart, underlining the question word and then pointing to it on the Wonder Wheel.
Display the page spreads for the sense of smell. Ask: “What questions do you have about these pages?”
Use Equity Sticks to call on two students. As needed, support students in developing their questions. Add questions to the chart, underlining the question words and labeling students’ questions with their initials.
Repeat the procedure for taste, hearing, and touch. Gradually introduce Think-Pair-Share discussions of questions before using Equity Sticks to choose two pairs to share.
TEACHER
NOTE
Students will have a chance to ask and answer questions with question words in the Deep Dive for this lesson.
Pairs share questions about My Five Senses using the Wonder Wheel.
Wonders for My Five Senses
by Margaret Miller Why is the girl smiling at herself?
Why is the girl going through the garbage?
How do you taste the ocean?
Explain that students will revisit their questions after they continue reading My Five Senses.
TEACHER NOTE
ForReviewOnly
Using question words to ask questions about a text is a focus skill for this module. If students had diffculty formulating questions using the Wonder Wheel, consider focusing on one question word at a time, beginning with questions about familiar content (home or school) and then moving into the text. Repeated exposure and redirection will support students in developing their ability to ask and answer questions, a Wit & Wisdom Core Practice.
EXAMINE RESPONSE JOURNALS
Whole Group
8 MIN.
Explain that, in addition to noticing and wondering, readers also write about what they are learning. Writing down what you are learning allows you to remember what you read and to think about it in new ways.
Share that students will use a Response Journal to record their thoughts about texts they read. They will also be able to look back on their past ideas and share with others. But in order to do this, they need to make sure their writing is well organized.
Display and read the Craft Question: Why is organizing your writing important?
Tell students to think about this question as you model organizing a Response Journal.
TEACHER NOTE
Students do not need to discuss and internalize Craft Questions in the same way as the Content Framing Questions. Content Framing Questions represent habits of mind for comprehending complex texts, while the Craft Questions outline a gradual release of responsibility. Briefy share the Craft Questions with students to focus them on a specifc craft strategy and cue their level of responsibility for that strategy.
Display a sample Response Journal page on chart paper. Conduct a Think Aloud as you create an entry to respond. As you develop a response, emphasize the following:
Response Journal entries include words and pictures.
Words and pictures each have their own space on the page.
Each page answers one question or completes one sentence.
ForReviewOnly
Ask: “What did I notice as I read today?” Model completing the Response Journal entry. For Example: I notice a horse.
Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share, and ask: “Why is it important to organize a Response Journal this way?” Call on student volunteers to answer.
n So we can read it.
n So others can read it.
EXPERIMENT WITH RESPONSE JOURNALS
Pairs
10 MIN.
Display and read the Craft Question: How does organizing a Response Journal work? Explain to students that it is now their turn to practice organizing a Response Journal.
Give pairs of students a copy of the text. Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share, and ask: “What did you notice earlier when we read My Five Senses?” Prompt pairs to look at the illustration they chose when they were sharing observations earlier in the lesson.
Circulate and support students in developing a response as needed.
Distribute Response Journals. Students open to the frst page and point to where they are going to place their drawing.
TEACHER
NOTE To maximize instructional time, add the sentence frame to each journal prior to the lesson.
Students draw what they noticed from My Five Senses
Land 3 MIN.
ANSWER THE CONTENT FRAMING QUESTION
Students Echo Read the Content Framing Question. Remind students of how they listened to My Five Senses, shared what they noticed, and used the Wonder Wheel to wonder or ask questions. Point to artifacts from this lesson as you recount these events.
Ask: “Did we answer this question today by doing these things?”
Students use a Nonverbal Signal to indicate yes (thumbs-up), no (thumbs-down), or unsure (thumbssideways). Ask two students to share their thinking behind their response.

ASSIGN HOMEWORK
Consult with colleagues to develop a grade-appropriate home-reading routine. Use this time in each lesson to remind students of expectations. Once this routine is in place, distribute and review the Volume of Reading Refection. Explain that students should consider these questions as they read and explain classroom systems for sharing their responses.
TEACHER
NOTE See the Implementation Guide for a further explanation of Volume of Reading, as well as various ways of using the refection.
Analyze
Context and Alignment
ForReviewOnly
Students craft their frst response in their Response Journals by drawing something they noticed about My Five Senses. This lays a foundation for students to use their Response Journals to create organized, text-based responses throughout the module Each student:
Draws a text-based observation.
Correctly organizes their response on one page of the Response Journal.
Next Steps
If students had diffculty organizing their Response Journals, provide support by outlining a rectangular box on the journal page for students to use as their space to complete the sentence frame.
LESSON 1 DEEP DIVE: VOCABULARY
Ask and Answer Questions About Key Vocabulary
Time: 15 min.
Text: My Five Senses, Margaret Miller
Vocabulary Learning Goal: Ask and answer questions about key vocabulary in My Five Senses
Launch
TEACHER NOTE
In Vocabulary Deep Dives 16, 21, and 29, you will fnd a direct vocabulary assessment tool and corresponding directions. To best meet students’ language needs, consider using this tool to pre-assess students at the start of this module. Do not share results with students, but use the data to inform and differentiate your vocabulary instruction. At the close of the module, reassess students using the same tool to determine their growth against the baseline data.
Display the Wonder Wheel. Ask: “What do we use this for?”
n We use it to wonder about texts.
n We use it to ask questions about texts.
n We use it to help us ask questions.
Use responses to reinforce that asking questions helps us better understand a text, including the vocabulary within it. Explain that students will learn how to use Question Corners* to ask questions about vocabulary words in My Five Senses.
TEACHER
ForReviewOnly
NOTE Self-questioning is a cornerstone of strategic reading. Question Corners introduce questioning as a good reading habit in a student-friendly way.
TEACHER
NOTE Prior to this lesson, print Handout 1A to use as Question Corner signs.
Explain that Question Corners is a routine that students will use throughout the year to help them ask questions about a text. Working with one question word at a time, hold up the Question Corner sign as you point to the corresponding question word on the Wonder Wheel. Students Echo Read each question word. Then post the sign in a designated area of the classroom. Explain that when in that “corner,” students ask questions using that particular word. Volunteers move to each corner and share sample questions using the appropriate question word.
Name:
Handout 1A: Question Corner Signs
Directions: Create questions about the text using the question word on the sign.
WHO?
Once all Question Corner signs have been posted, direct students’ attention toward the what corner. Explain that what questions can help us ask about the meaning of words within a text.
Display My Five Senses, and read pages 1–4. Pause on page 4, move to the what Question Corner, and ask: “What does shadow mean?”
Think Aloud as you use clues in the text to answer the question. For example:
From the words, I know that a shadow is something you see. In the picture, I see the girl looking down at the outline of her body. I know that when I stand in the sun, I sometimes see the outline of my body, just like the girl is seeing. So, what does shadow mean? A shadow is an outline.
Put shadow on the Word Wall as a module word.
ForReviewOnly
TEACHER NOTE
Shadow is a phonetically complex word, featuring the sh digraph. While students will be unfamiliar with this sound at this time, shadow emerges a number of times in these lessons, including during the study of Le Gourmet. Add it to the Word Wall without asking students to make the letter-sound connection in this word.
Return to the text, and read pages 5–6. Pause on page 6, move to the what Question Corner, and ask: “What does city mean?”
Use Equity Sticks to call on students to join you in the Question Corner and share their thinking. Use follow-up questions to encourage students to return to the words and pictures to support their answers.
n A city is something you see.
n A city has lots of buildings.
n A city is where people live.
Put city on the Word Wall as a module word.
TEACHER NOTE
City features a soft c sound. At this time, students are likely most familiar with the hard c sound. However, city will be used throughout this module, especially as students read Last Stop on Market Street. Add it to the Word Wall without asking students to make the letter-sound connection.
Return to the text, and read pages 10 and 11. Pause on page 11, move to the how Question Corner, and ask: “How does tasting the ocean work?”
Students Think-Pair-Share. Pairs stand when they have an answer. Use Equity Sticks to call on pairs to join you in the Question Corner and share their thinking.
n It means you open your mouth and taste the water.
n The water in the ocean tastes salty.
Return to the text, and read pages 15–17. Pause on page 17, and move to the how Question Corner.
Students Think-Pair-Share to develop a how question for page 17.
n How does a piano sound?
n How does a piano work?
Circulate as students discuss, and choose pairs to move to the how corner when you hear they have developed a how question. Pairs share their questions with the class when they arrive at the how Question Corner.
ForReviewOnly
Students return to their seats. Use Equity Sticks to call on students to share answers to the studentgenerated how questions.
n You press keys, and the piano plays music.
n A piano sounds like music.
Put piano on the Word Wall as a module word.

CRAFT QUESTION: Lesson 2
Experiment: How does organizing a Response Journal work?
Students experience Partner Reading for the frst time and act out scenes from Margaret Miller’s My Five Senses. Acting out scenes from the book provides an active and meaningful way to deepen understanding of what is happening in the text. Using Pablo Picasso’s Le Gourmet, students share observations and questions as they begin an exploration of what it means to “read” a painting. In their Response Journals students write what they notice in Le Gourmet.
Welcome
2 MIN.
READ THE ESSENTIAL QUESTION
Refer to the Essential Question: How do our senses help us learn?
Point to each word as you read the question aloud. As you read the word senses, model a Nonverbal Signal by holding up a hand with fve fngers.
Students Echo Read the Essential Question using the Nonverbal Signals for how (both hands out in a questioning manner) and senses.
ForReviewOnly
Remind students that throughout this module, they will use tools they already have to learn from the world around them.
LAUNCH 3 MIN.
Read aloud the Focusing Question and Content Framing Question, noting that the Content Framing Question is the one they will focus on answering in this lesson. Students Echo Read the question.
Point to the word senses in the Content Framing Question. Ask two volunteers to share something they learned about their senses in the previous lesson, referencing the Word Wall as they do. Use responses to reinforce that there is more to learn about how the fve senses are “superpowers” they use every day.
64 MIN.
PARTNER READ 20 MIN.
Pairs
Before reading, divide students into pairs. Explain that pairs will fnd a place together on the carpet facing the book and sitting “hip-to-hip.”
Choose a student to help you model this position. Hold a copy of the text between you, and turn the pages together. Demonstrate how, if you sat back to back, only one of you would be able to see. The same goes if you sat facing each other, but if you sit next to one another, each has the same access. Reinforce that anytime they engage in Partner Reading they will sit hip-to-hip on the foor or at the table.
Distribute a copy of the text to each pair, supporting kids in sitting hip-to-hip as needed. Read and label the front cover, back cover, and title page, pointing to each as you do so. Students Echo Read the labels and locate each with their partner. Ask volunteers to explain what these parts of a book tell a reader.
Remind students that the day’s focus is what is happening in My Five Senses. Read the text aloud. Prompt pairs to follow along in their copies, and encourage them to alternate turning pages and sharing responsibility for the book.
ForReviewOnly
TEACHER NOTE
If students struggle with Partner Reading, reread parts of the text until students feel comfortable following along while sharing a book. Cuing when you are turning to a new page might help. Also, look for opportunities throughout the day to practice Partner Reading, to hasten independence and responsibility.
As you read, use the words and pictures to clarify the following vocabulary words by relating them to familiar synonyms (suggestions are in parentheses):
Page 10: “garbage” (trash)
Page 16: “a fre engine” (fre truck)
Page 22: “a rabbit” (bunny)
TEACHER NOTE
As the year progresses, students will be asked to work with related words, including synonyms and antonyms. Use activities like the above to build a foundation for this type of thinking.
ACT OUT MY FIVE SENSES 15 MIN.
Pairs
Explain to students that acting out, or creating a Tableau*, can help them better understand what happens. Acting as a character helps a reader imagine what the character is thinking and feeling. Explain that to act out this book, students will point to the body part that goes with a specifc sense used in the picture. Then, they will act out, or pretend, they are doing the same action.
Briefy explain the difference between feel as in physically touching something and feel as in a feeling you have as a reaction. Explain that you want students to imagine the different emotions, or feelings, that the children have in reaction to using their senses.
One way to do this is by examining the looks on their faces, or their expressions. Invite students to practice by showing various expressions on their own faces, such as a happy expression, sad expression, surprised expression, and scared expression. As students create Tableau scenes, invite them to look at the faces of the children in the pictures and mimic their expressions.
Tell students they will continue working with feel and feelings in the Deep Dive.
Stop on each page to create a Tableau as you read the text aloud. Act out the frst few images with students to help them understand the procedure.
ForReviewOnly
Students use Nonverbal Signals to indicate what sense is being represented in the picture. For example, when the girl is smelling roses, students point to their noses. Then, students act out smelling a fower.
After each section, ask partners to verbally summarize.
Pairs discuss the following questions: “What is this section about? What in the text makes you think so?” Use Equity Sticks to call on students to answer.
n Pages 3–6: It is about seeing things. The girl looks at her shadow.
n Pages 7–10: It’s about smelling things. The girl smells a fower with her nose.
n Pages 11–14: It’s about tasting things. The girl tastes yucky medicine in her mouth.
n Pages 15–18: It’s about hearing things. The boy hears the fre truck, and it’s too loud.
n Pages 19–22: It’s about touching things. The boy touches the soft bunny.
Explain that all of these key details add up to the main topic of the text, or what we learned from the text.
Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share, and ask: “What did you learn from this text, or what is its main topic?”
n The kids have fve senses.
n The kids are using their senses.
n They are using their senses to do different things.
TEACHER NOTE
Think-Pair-Share questions provide meaningful opportunities for students to develop the skill of responding in complete sentences. Use Think-Pair-Shares to reinforce the expectation of responding in complete sentences while also offering scaffolds, such as modeling and sentence frames, to support students in reaching this goal. Students will engage in focused practice of verbally creating complete sentences later in the module.
EXAMINE LE GOURMET 10 MIN.
Whole Group
Display Le Gourmet: (http://witeng.link/0620)
ForReviewOnly
Explain that an artist in Spain named Pablo Picasso made this painting in the year 1901–well over 100 years ago. Show Spain and your school on a map of the world to provide some context for students.
TEACHER NOTE
Students will study the continents in Module 4. Consider keeping a world map displayed throughout the year and marking locations as opportunities arise. This will both provide a scaffold for students and demonstrate connections between what they are learning.
Explain that unlike authors, who use words to tell stories, artists create stories with pictures. Viewers use their eyes and imaginations to “read” the story. Tell students that they will now notice and wonder with this painting like they did with My Five Senses.
Extension
Explain that when we use our imaginations we see things in our minds that we do not see in real life. Invite children to close their eyes and imagine a room full of stuffed animals. Direct them to imagine what kind of animals they might see. Have students share what they saw in their imaginations. Emphasize that students will continue to use their imaginations as they “read” Le Gourmet
Students consider the painting for thirty seconds, holding their questions or comments. Ask: “What do you notice and wonder about Le Gourmet?”
Scaffold
If students struggle to remain quiet and focused on the painting for thirty seconds, consider using a pointer to direct their attention to different parts of the painting, including the top and bottom, middle, and corners.
Invite volunteers to share their notices and wonderings about the painting.
Scaffold
Support students in making observations and asking questions by asking a more pointed question, such as: “What do you see in this painting?”
Tell students that they will now think about what’s happening in the painting, just like they did with My Five Senses. Use Equity Sticks to call on students to answer the following Text-Dependent Questions.
1 Where do you think the girl is? And why do you think that?
n I think she’s in her house because she’s by herself.
n I think she’s at a restaurant because it looks fancy.
2 Create a Tableau by imitating her pose. What are you doing?
ForReviewOnly
n I’m eating what’s in the bowl.
n I’m trying not to break the bowl.
n I’m trying to get the last bite of food.
n I’m standing up while eating because there is no chair.
3 What does her face look like? What might her expression tell us about how she’s feeling?
n She looks serious about what she’s doing.
n She might be really hungry.
n Maybe she is trying to get the last bite.
n Maybe she’s concentrating because it’s a big bowl for a little person.
4 Which senses is the girl using? Describe how.
n She feels the bowl and the spoon.
n The napkin is touching her skin.
n She hears the spoon or fork on the bowl.
n She hears herself chew.
n She smells the food.
n She tastes the food.
n She sees the food.
5 What’s happening in Le Gourmet?

n The girl is fnishing her food.
EXPERIMENT WITH RESPONSE JOURNAL ORGANIZATION
Individuals
Display and read the Craft Question: How does organizing a Response Journal work?
19 MIN.
Remind students of their experience organizing their Response Journals by revisiting the entry from Lesson 1.
Direct students’ attention to Le Gourmet. Remind students that viewers “read” paintings using their eyes and imaginations, and explain that they will be using their Response Journals to record their ideas.
Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share, and ask: “What do you think is in the bowl?”
Display and read aloud the following sentence frame, pointing to each word as you read: I think ____ is in the bowl. Explain that students will use this sentence frame to guide their writing and thinking.
Share how to place an answer in the frame using a Think Aloud. For example:
ForReviewOnly
Where should I put my answer? I could put it at the end of the sentence. Then it would say, “I think is in the bowl ice cream.” Wait, that doesn’t sound right! Hmm… maybe I should look at the sentence frame again.
Read the sentence frame again, pointing to each word as you read. When you get to the blank space, pause momentarily before reading and pointing to the rest of the words.
Think Aloud to show how the answer goes on the blank line. For example:
When I read the sentence frame, I heard the spot where my answer should go. It was when I got to this blank line. I think my drawing should go in that spot
Sample Response Journal Entries
I notice a horse I think ice cream is in the bowl.
Ask: “Why is it important to organize my writing like this on my page? Why can’t I put my answer anywhere on the page?”
n It helps answer the question.
n If it’s in the wrong place it sounds silly.
n People need to be able to fnd the answer.
Remind students how to organize their writing on one page and that, when responding to a question in their journals, they can use a mixture of writing and drawing to answer the question.
Distribute Response Journals. Students point to where they are going to place their drawing.
TEACHER
NOTE Add the sentence frame to each journal before the lesson to maximize instructional time.
Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share, and ask: “What do you think is in the bowl? What from the painting makes you think that?”
Students use one page to respond to the prompt: “What do you think is in the bowl?”
ForReviewOnly
Circulate to support students in completing the blank on the sentence frame. Ask follow-up questions about their answers, such as, “What part(s) of the painting made you think that?”

Context and Alignment
Students create Tableau scenes in order to identify key details from the text. This is the frst step in determining the main topic of an informational text. Each student:
Identifes the sensory experience (e.g., key detail).
Supports their response with evidence from the text.
Generates a possible main topic of the text.
Next Steps
If students had a diffcult time following along during the Tableau scenes, repeat the exercise in a smaller setting where you can offer individual support and clarifcation, helping students identify the key details from each section.

Distribute copies of My Five Senses to pairs. Pairs turn to pages 1 and 2. Read pages 1 and 2, pausing after each body part is named. Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share to identify the sense that goes with each body part, reminding them to reference the Word Wall. Volunteers share with the class.
Students Mix and Mingle to share examples of something they can do with each sense. Call out one sense at time as students discuss experiences.
n I can see a rainbow.
n I can smell a skunk.
n I can hear a crash.
n I can taste chocolate.
n I can touch my cat.
Explain that in this lesson they will learn more about the words that describe how these experiences can make them feel.

Ask: “Remember how we learned about expressions, or how someone’s face looks. How does someone’s expression help us understand how they are feeling?”
n They can show us how someone is feeling.
n If someone is happy, they will be smiling.
Explain that our senses create feelings. Provide a few relatable examples, such as:
I feel happy when I see my family.
I feel excited when I taste ice cream.
I feel sleepy when I hear my dad waking me up in the morning.
Return to page 19 and ask: “What is the boy’s expression? How do you think he’s feeling?”
Label a blank piece of chart paper “Feeling Words.” Explain that students will now look back at the pictures from the text to see how the children are feeling as they use their senses.
Display page 5 as pairs follow along in their texts. Ask: “What sense is the girl using in this picture?”

Read aloud the Focusing Question and Content Framing Question, reminding students that the Content Framing Question will help focus the day’s learning.
Show a magician’s hat with something hidden underneath. Identify the type of hat for the class, and explain that a magician often hides things inside the hat and then does a trick to reveal what is inside. Lift the hat to show what was hiding underneath.
TEACHER
NOTE
If you do not have access to a magician’s hat, use an image of a magician’s hat. Hide an object behind the image then lift the image to reveal the object.
Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share, and ask: “What does it mean to reveal?” Use Equity Sticks to call on students to answer.
n It means to show something.
n It means to uncover.
n It means to fnd out what is hiding.
Use responses to reinforce that reveal means “to uncover or show something that was once hidden.”

Distribute one copy of the text to pairs. Reread the title and author’s name to students. Prompt pairs to look at their copies of the text.
Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share, and ask: “What does it mean when the book says ‘By Margaret Miller’?” Use Equity Sticks to call on students to share their answers.
n It means that she did the book.
n It means she is telling the story.
n I think it means she wrote it.
Use responses to introduce the word author, explaining that an author uses words to communicate their ideas or story to a reader. Writing words for books is their role, or job. Point to the front cover of My Five Senses, emphasizing again that Margaret Miller is the author.
Put author on the Word Wall as a year-long word.
Students Partner Read as you read through the text, prompting them to pay close attention to the illustrations in the text and how they help communicate information.
Ask: “What do you notice about the pictures in this text? How are they made?”
Use responses to explain that the pictures are photographs from a camera—they were not created by paint, crayons, or markers.
Explain that students will revisit specifc pages to determine how the words and pictures work together to reveal particular details.
Read pages 3–6 of the text, emphasizing the word see and pausing on page 5. Pairs follow along in their texts.
Use Equity Sticks to call on students to answer the following TDQs.
1 How does the photo on page 4 give us more detail about what she sees?
n It shows us what her shadow looks like.
n It shows us what a shadow is.
2 How does the photo on page 6 reveal more detail about what she sees?
n It shows us that she sees tall buildings.
n It shows us that her city has water, too.
n She is looking at her city from far away.
Turn to page 10 in the text. If needed, read pages 7–10 to remind students what the text says.

3 The words tell us, “With my nose I smell…garbage.” What does the picture reveal about how the garbage smells?
n It smells bad.
n The girl thinks it smells really bad.
n She doesn’t like how it smells.
Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share, and ask: “What do we see in the pictures that helps us better understand the words?”
Students discuss the relationship between the words and the pictures in My Five Senses
n We see what the words say but then more.
n The pictures help us know what the words mean.
n We see what things look like.
Call on volunteers to answer. Use responses to explain that the words and pictures of a text work together to communicate key details. In this instance, the words tell us that the girl smells the garbage. We get the same information from the picture, but we also learn how the garbage smells: the picture reveals more details.
Extension
Remind students that looking carefully at facial expressions can help give us clues about what a person is feeling. Reference the Feelings Words Chart created in Lesson 2. When we look at the girl’s expression on the page with the garbage, we see clues that show us she may be feeling disgusted.
Invite one student to come to the front of the class. Ask the student to think of a feeling and give the class clues about the emotion through a facial expression. The class guesses the feeling. Repeat as time permits, inviting new students to show expressions that demonstrate various feelings. Update the Feelings Chart based on this discussion.
ANALYZE THE USE OF COLOR IN LE GOURMET 15MIN.
Whole Group
ForReviewOnly
TEACHER NOTE
Artists often use contrasts in color or value to bring the viewer’s eye to the focal point of the painting. Picasso uses complementary colors to build contrast in Le Gourmet. The orange fesh tones, complementary to the blues, draw the viewer’s eye to the focal point of the girl’s face. Her bright pink cheek and lip, as well as the golden highlight on her hair, stand out from the blue background. The blue shadows on her face and hand further contrast with the pinks of her face, inside the bowl, and on the mug. The repetition of light and dark folds on her napkin/bib encircle and draw attention to her face.
Display Le Gourmet, and remind students that an artist, like an illustrator, uses pictures to tell a story; unlike an author, they do not use words. To understand a painting, we must rely on our eyes and sense of sight.
Post the following question: “What does a deeper exploration of color reveal in Le Gourmet?”
Underline reveal, and read the question out loud to the class. Refer to the magician’s hat to remind students of the meaning of reveal. Explain that students will now look at the painting and pay close attention to the color. Ask: “What do you notice about the colors in the painting?”
n I notice that there is a lot of blue!
n I notice there are dark blue lines around many of the shapes
n I notice that almost everything is blue except her hair and the orange patch in the background.
Students review the painting silently for ffteen to thirty seconds, paying particular attention to color.
Invite volunteers to answer what they notice about the color in the painting. Remind students who want to share to put a hand on top of their head. When they are not sharing, they should point to their ears to show they are listening. Continue with the following TDQs.
1 What color do you see the most in the painting?
n I see a lot of blue.
Use observations to point out how the blue changes into different shades, or versions, of blue. Some are lighter and some are darker, but they are all blue.
Invite students to identify different shades of blue within the classroom as reinforcement.
2 Think about the colors of the rooms at school or your house. How are they different from the color of the room in the painting?
n Most rooms don’t have so much blue.
n Most rooms have more color than this room.
n It’s almost like the light is blue.
3 What other colors do you see? Where?
n Her skin is white and pink and blue.
n There’s orange and brown in the back. It might be a door.
n There’s pink and white on the cup and bowl.
n The bread is light brown.
n The tablecloth is white.
ForReviewOnly
Point out that the artist painted the room mostly blue but included other colors for the girl. The varied colors help our eyes focus on the girl by making her stand out. The colors help tell the story of the painting.
Extension
Explore the use of shadow in Picasso’s painting. Use curtains or your clothing to show how light falling on a figure or form creates highlights and darker areas of shadows, adding more shades of color. Link to students’ discussion of shadow in My Five Senses from Lesson 1.
4 Where did Picasso use shadows in this painting? What colors did he use to paint the shadows?
n The tablecloth has shadows on it.
n I see a shadow behind her feet.
n The girl’s dress has shadows.
n He mostly used dark blue and black for shadows.
Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share, and ask: “Why do you think Picasso used so much blue in this painting?”
After students have shared their ideas, remind them that Picasso painted Le Gourmet in 1901. This was during his Blue Period, when Picasso used a lot of blue and green because he was feeling sad (feeling “blue”). He felt that the color blue would show people his mood. Artists often make choices to let people know how they are feeling.
Students stand up and act like they are feeling blue. Ask: “How might your face show a blue expression? How might you walk around the room if you were feeling blue?”
Extension
Discuss associations between other color words and emotions. Invite students to act out the expression and movement of each color and emotion association.

Explain that a gourmet is “someone who enjoys and knows a lot about fne food.” It is a word in both French and English. The painter was Spanish but lived in France. Le Gourmet just means “The Gourmet.”
Ask: “How does the title Le Gourmet ft this painting? Volunteers respond.
n The girl is eating.
n The girl really likes food, too.
Explain that many people think of gourmets as eating food made with expensive ingredients at fancy restaurants.
Ask: “Do you think the girl in this painting is eating expensive food at a fancy restaurant? How do you know?” Volunteers respond.
n No, there aren’t even any chairs or silverware.
n I don’t think so because it doesn’t look fancy.
n She’s not in a restaurant because she’s alone.

n Maybe it’s sort of a joke.
n She’s a kid gourmet!
n Maybe she’s eating someone’s leftovers from a fancy dinner.
n Maybe Picasso wants to show that it’s about enjoying, not a fancy room or restaurant.
Remind students that artists communicate meaning through pictures. We can search the picture for clues about its essential meaning, or what Picasso wanted to communicate. Explain that paintings will often have different meanings for different people. One of the great things about discussing art and books is that we can learn from each other and see new meanings as we look at the painting or book in different ways.
ForReviewOnly
Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share, and ask: “What might be Le Gourmet’s essential meaning? What clues help you think that?”
n Maybe it’s that kids can be gourmets. She looks serious about her food.
n Maybe it means you can be a gourmet anywhere. She isn’t at a fancy restaurant.
Circulate and listen to students’ thoughts. Select one or two pairs to share their responses with the class.
TEACHER NOTE
As students think through the essential meaning of Le Gourmet, emphasize that artwork is open to a wide range of interpretation. Focus on supporting students with developing language to explain the process of trying to understand a painting or book, rather than on “correct” interpretation.

LESSON 4 DEEP DIVE: VOCABULARY
Sensory Word Jars: Taste
Time: 15 min.
Text: My Five Senses, Margaret Miller
Vocabulary Learning Goal: Generate and apply sensory adjectives for taste to real-life situations.
Launch
TEACHER NOTE
Students will use a variety of circulars in the Deep Dives within Lessons 4, 5, 8, 9, and 10 to build Sensory Word Jars. Collect enough grocery store, home goods, and home improvement circulars in advance so that students may work to identify and circle items in pairs or small groups. The Sensory Jars will be referenced throughout the module. Consider creating a bulletin board to support students as they use these words in their speaking and writing. Be sure to add images, such as the ones below, to support students in independently accessing the content.
Distribute Sensory Cards.
Call out things that students can taste and smell as students hold up the appropriate card. For example:
Apples
Flowers
Candles
Carrots
Scaffold
ForReviewOnly
Limit choices by only distributing the taste and smell Sensory Cards.
Explain that students will learn words that help them describe how things taste.
Ask: “Why do we describe how things taste?” Volunteers respond.
n So we can tell someone what something tastes like.
n So we can see if we want to eat it.
Reinforce that describing things provides a reader or listener with more information. Explain that words describing taste are called sensory words, or adjectives.
In addition to providing more information, sensory words make our writing and speech more
interesting. Ask: “What does interesting mean?” Volunteers respond.
n It means you want to know more.
n It means you’re paying attention.
Use responses to reinforce that interesting describes something you pay attention to.
Learn
Display the blank Sensory Word Jar for taste. Explain that students will look through grocery store circulars to help them think of interesting ways to describe tastes.
Model reviewing a grocery store circular and identifying things you can taste. Circle these in red. Use Equity Sticks to call on volunteers to contribute answers. Scribe strong responses. For example:
Lemons
Pretzels
Peppers
Distribute grocery store circulars. Small groups review the images and circle in red things they could taste. Use Equity Sticks to choose students to share. Scribe strong responses. For example:
Candy
Apples
Explain that these are are words describing things they can taste, but now they will learn words that describe how things taste. For instance, you can taste lemons, but how do lemons taste? Sour is a word to describe how they taste.
Think Aloud as you choose a type of food and determine how to describe its taste. Add the adjective next to the food it describes. Bring students into the discussion with the remaining foods by having them Think-Pair-Share to generate adjectives. Use Equity Sticks to call on groups to share and record their responses. For example:
ForReviewOnly
Candy: sweet
Pretzels: salty
Peppers: spicy
Apples: juicy
TEACHER
NOTE Consider preparing a few images, such as the ones below, to quickly pair with the foods students identify.
TASTE
Explain that now students will learn to use these words in sentences. Model creating sentences with sensory words from the Word Jar, pointing to the words and images as you do. For example:
The pretzels are salty.
The lemon is sour.
Use Equity Sticks to choose three volunteers to use a word from the Word Jar to create a complete sentence. Students repeat their classmates’ sentences.
Pairs use adjectives from the Word Jars in sentences.
n The pepper is spicy.
n The apple is juicy.

See Appendix C for additional information on this assessment.
Next Steps
If students were unable to correctly complete their sentence frame, consider the root cause of student errors. Does the error indicate a misunderstanding of the function of the senses? If so, you might discuss senses during everyday classroom activities. For example, during snack time, ask students what they smell, taste, hear, etc. Or, does the error indicate that the student is struggling to place responses correctly within a sentence frame? If so, you can provide simpler sentence frames and practice competing them with the student, guiding the student to point to the words and blanks as the student speaks.
Group students with similar needs and plan small group support for these skills to set students up for success with their next Focusing Question Task.

Text: My Five Senses, Aliki
Vocabulary Learning Goal: Ask and answer questions about key vocabulary in My Five Senses.
Launch
Point to each Question Corner. Students Echo Read the signs as a volunteer moves from corner to corner. Congratulate students on all of the great questioning they already did, and explain that now they will use the Question Corners to practice wondering, or asking questions, about vocabulary words in My Five Senses.

Display and read the frst paragraph on page 32 of the text, emphasizing the following words:
Wherever
Whatever
Every
Display the following sentence frames.
What does mean?
How does a work?
TEACHER NOTE
ForReviewOnly
The frst sentence frame works best for the words featured in this Deep Dive. However, it is helpful to include a second option to reinforce that strong readers ask a variety of questions about vocabulary words.
Explain that you are going to use one of these sentence frames to ask a question about one of the vocabulary words. Reread the frst phrase on page 32, and ask a question about the word wherever.
Wherever. This is a word I am unsure of, so I’m going to ask a question about this word. I will choose one of
the sentence frames to help me ask a question about this word. How does a wherever work? Hmm, I don’t think that sounds quite right. Maybe another question would sound better. What does wherever mean? That sounds like a better question for this word.
After the Think Aloud, ask volunteers to share what they already know about the meaning of the word wherever, emphasizing the where as needed.
n It means any place.
n It means anywhere you go.
Reinforce that wherever means “whatever place.” Use Equity Sticks to choose a few volunteers to stand in different places throughout the room. All students Choral Read an abbreviated version of the frst sentence on page 32: “Wherever I go…my senses are working.” Then, standing students share something they can see, hear, smell, taste, or feel from their position in the room.
Repeat the process of using sentence frames to try to fnd a question that works for the word whatever, inviting students to stand when they hear a question that makes sense for whatever.
Call on student volunteers to defne whatever. Use their responses to explain that whatever means “anything.” Call out everyday activities as all students stand and act them out. For example:
Brushing your teeth.
Eating breakfast.
Washing your hands.
Students Choral Read an abbreviated version of the frst sentence on page 32: “[W]hatever I do…my senses are working.”
Return to page 32, and read the third phrase, emphasizing every.
Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share, and ask: “What does every mean?”
Use Equity Sticks to choose two pairs to share. Reinforce that every means “all.”

IDENTIFY THE MAIN TOPIC AND KEY DETAILS
Whole Group
20 MIN.
Explain to students that one tool to understand what is happening in a text is to fnd the main topic and key details. Defne main topic and key details for the class. For example:
A main topic is what a book or a section of a book is mostly about; it’s the subject. Details are smaller pieces of information. And key details are the most important of the small pieces of information. Together, the key details of a text help us better understand the main topic.
Explain that students will practice fnding the main topic and key details of a section of text. This practice will help them understand what is happening. Give pairs of students a copy of the text.
ForReviewOnly
TEACHER NOTE
The focus of this lesson is to introduce the concept of main ideas and key details; therefore, the text is broken up into a small section to limit the amount of information students are processing. Students will eventually build up to identifying the main topic and key details of larger sections and entire texts.
Read pages 1–13 aloud, with pairs following along in their copies of the text.
Display an empty box in front of the class. Model thinking aloud about the question: “What is the text telling me?” On an index card, write: “We have fve senses.” Explain that this is the main topic of this section; it is what the author wants readers to learn from reading these pages.
Explain to students that the author uses key, or important, details to help readers better understand this main topic. Tell students that as a class, they will read through this section of the text to look for the details that will help them better understand the main topic.
Remind students that they have knowledge of what the fve senses are from reading Margaret Miller’s My Five Senses and that this knowledge will help them fnd the key details. Explain to students that when they hear one of the fve senses, they will stand up and make a Nonverbal Signal such as pointing to the part of their body that goes with the sense they hear in the text.
Reread pages 1–5. After reading pages 4–5, ask yourself: “What key detail did I hear about the fve senses?” Point to your eyes, and hold up the sense card for sight from Handout 4A. Place this card inside the box in front of the class.
Continue reading pages 6–13. As students stand up and signal, ask: “What key detail did you hear about the fve senses? What sense is the boy using?” (Follow-up: “What body part does he use?”) For each sense identifed, use a sense card from Handout 4A, and place the card into the box.
Name:
Handout 4A: Sensory Cards
Extension
Encourage students to identify further details from the text using the illustrations, such as what the boy sees, hears, smells, tastes, or touches in the text.
After the read, take the fve sense cards out of the box and read them aloud to the class. Reinforce that these are the key details that the author is telling readers about the fve senses.
For example:
The main topic is “We have five senses.” The author tells us more about these five senses so that we understand what they are and how we use them. The key details are that we see with our eyes, we hear with our ears, we taste with our tongues, we smell with our noses, and we touch with our hands.
ForReviewOnly
Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share, and ask: “What is happening in pages 1–13 in the text? How did talking about the key details help us understand the main topic?” Use Equity Sticks to call on students to answer.
n The boy is using his senses.
n He is touching and seeing things.
n The key details help us understand the main topic.
n The details show us what he is seeing.
n The details show us more things.
n The details help us see what each sense is.
EXPERIMENT WITH USING ONE VOICE AT A TIME 20 MIN.
Small Groups
Identifying the main topic and key details of a text is a great way to better understand a text. Another way to understand what is happening in a text is to act it out. Explain to students that they will divide into small groups, each of which will act out a section of the text while practicing their speaking goal from the previous lesson.
Display the Speaking and Listening Anchor Chart and the Craft Question: How does speaking one voice at a time work?
Students Echo Read the Craft Question.
Ask: “What does this mean? Why is it important?” Volunteers respond.
n It means only one person talks at a time.
n It means we take turns.
n It helps us hear everyone.
Explain that students will experiment with using one voice at a time as they act out My Five Senses. Students will be working in small groups, and it will be very important for everyone to be able to speak and listen. Remind students of the Nonverbal Signals for indicating that they are listening (pointing to their ears) and that they would like to speak (pointing to their chin or mouth). Students practice switching between these signals.
Share that one challenge for using one voice at a time is knowing when the other person is done speaking. Model how, when students are done speaking, they should point to their ears so that their groups knows they are done. Students practice this transition by responding to the following question and signaling they are ready to listen: “How did the boy use his senses?”
ForReviewOnly
Read page 21 aloud to the class, prompting students to follow along with your copy. Turn to pages 24–25 and read them aloud. Explain to students that they will act out these two pages in small groups.
Divide the class into groups of fve. Give each group a ball. Students bounce the ball back and forth to the other members of their group. Encourage students to think about all the senses they are using as they bounce the ball to one another.
Ask: “How did you see, hear, and touch like the boy while bouncing the ball? Give examples.” Volunteers respond.
n I touched the ball with my hand.
n I had to catch it with my hands.
n I saw it bouncing to me.
n I saw it bounce to my friends.
n I heard it go bop! on the ground.
n I heard it bang on the foor.
Ask: “How did practicing our speaking goal help you learn?” Use Equity Sticks to choose two students to answer
n It made sure everyone could talk.
n I could hear what my group said.
n It helped me listen.
Invite a few students to share with the larger group.
EXAMINE THE IMPORTANCE OF TEXT EVIDENCE
Whole Group
Post and read the Craft Question: Why is text evidence important?
21 MIN.
Explain to students that text evidence is information we can fnd directly in a text to help us answer a question.
TEACHER
NOTE Create a chart similar to the one below to use in this lesson.
ForReviewOnly
Sample Writing Anchor Chart: Use Text Evidence
Writers use evidence from the text.
1. Begin with the question.
2. Go back and reread the text.
3. Find information, or evidence.
4. Use the evidence in your response.
Use the chart to explain that writers are like detectives: detectives look for clues, and writers look for text evidence. Explain how writers return to texts to fnd information, or evidence, in order to answer a question.
Display and read the question: “What is the boy’s favorite thing to eat?”
Model turning through the pages of the text looking for the answer. Think aloud about possible answers to these questions. For example:
I see him tasting ice cream, so maybe that is his favorite. But I also see him eating spaghetti and salad, so maybe those are his favorite things, too.
Ask students to turn to a partner and share a text to try and fnd an answer to what the boy’s favorite thing to eat is. Call on volunteers to share their answers.
ForReviewOnly
Use student responses and your Think Aloud to reinforce that they won’t be able to answer this question completely because the text does not help them fnd the answer. The only way to know the answer is to ask the boy, which they cannot do.
Explain that, unlike the question about the boy’s favorite thing to eat, many questions generated by reading the text can be answered by rereading. Display and read the question: “When does he use more than one sense?”
Repeat the word more, and remind students that this word is used to make comparisons. Use a classroom item (e.g., pencils, books) to demonstrate the concept of more.
Put more on the Word Wall as a module word.
Model turning through pages 22–25 and looking for evidence of when the boy uses more than one sense. Model thinking aloud and fnding evidence on pages 22–23. Reread pages 24–25, and ask a volunteer to point out the text evidence.
Return to the Wonder Chart, and choose a question that can be answered with text-based evidence. Revisit the relevant pages of the text. Students Think-Pair-Share to discuss the text evidence. Repeat as time allows. TEACHER
NOTE
Using non-examples can be confusing for students. Emphasize that all questions are great questions, but some can be answered using text evidence and some cannot. If one can use text evidence to answer a question, one should because it provides more support for an answer. Make sure to end this lesson using examples of questions that can be answered using text evidence in order to solidify understanding of the concept. If you cannot fnd questions on the Wonder Chart, then create your own.
Students Echo Read the Text Evidence Chart. Ask: “Why is using text evidence important?” Volunteers respond.
n It helps us answer questions.
n It helps us check our thinking.

Students build their understanding of informational text structure by identifying key details that support the main topic of the text. Each student:
Identifes key details from each page spread (e.g., sensory organ).
Accurately describes a connection between a key detail and the main topic (e.g., a detail shows us what body part the boy uses for tasting).
Next Steps
If students struggled to identify key details, consider repeating the activity with the main topic box and Sensory Cards in a smaller setting. Provide support by going through pages 1-13 of the text and asking students to identify the key detail (sensory organ) described on each page. Then have students place the corresponding Sensory Card into the main topic box.

ANNOTATE THE ILLUSTRATIONS AND LANGUAGE
Whole Group
15 MIN.
Prompt students to look at the copy of the text in your hands. Explain that they will pay close attention to the illustrations and words as they listen to the text. Rereading will help them see how the illustrations show the information that the words tell them.
Explain to students that one way to keep track of details found only in the pictures and details found only in the words is to Annotate. Explain that readers Annotate, or take notes and mark a part of a text, to help them remember important things.
Turn to pages 10–11 in the text, and read the words out loud. Model how to Annotate using two colored sticky notes. Place a blue sticky note over details in the illustration that are stated in the text, and place a pink sticky note over details in the illustrations that are not stated by the text.
For example:
I hear the words say that the boy can taste. He tastes with his tongue. I see that in the illustration he is sticking his tongue out and licking. I am going to place a blue sticky note over the tongue to show that this detail in the picture matches the written words. I also see what the boy is tasting, an ice cream cone. I didn’t hear ice cream in the words, but I see it in the picture. I am going to place a pink sticky note on top of the ice cream to note that this is a detail that comes only from the pictures that we see, not the words that we hear.
Explain to students that the class will read through the text together and Annotate the illustrations to determine how illustrations and words work together to reveal deeper meaning.
Divide the class in pairs for Partner Reading, and distribute copies of the text so students can see the illustrations. If needed, remind students of the rules of Partner Reading.

n He can see the puppy.
n He can hear the puppy.
n He can smell the puppy.
n He can touch the puppy.
Reread pages 20–23.
4 How do the words and illustrations work together to help us understand what the boy is trying to tell us?
n The words tell us how many senses.
n The pictures show us.
n We can guess from the pictures, too.
n They help us understand what he means.
Return to the frst two lines on page 21. Ask: “What does it mean to use all of your senses at once?” Volunteers respond.
n It means at the same time.
Call out the following actions. If students believe that the example is only about using one sense, they reach for their toes. If they believe it is about using all the senses at once, they reach for the sky and say “at once.” Volunteers explain their responses.
Smelling popcorn.
Going to the movies.
Eating spaghetti.
Going to a restaurant.
Reinforce that the main topic of these pages is that sometimes the little boy uses one sense at a time, sometimes he uses more than one sense, and sometimes he uses them all at the same time. Use students’ responses to reinforce that, just like we learn more when more than one sense works together, we learn more when we combine information from the words and the pictures together.

Read the title, author, and illustrator to students. Emphasize that this book has an author, Matt de la Peña, and a different person who drew the illustrations, Christian Robinson.
Prompt students to look at the copy of the book in your hands. Students chorally identify the front cover, back cover, and title page. Use Equity Sticks to call on students to share what they learn from each part of the book.
Reread the Focusing Question as you display the front cover of the book. Instruct students to ThinkPair-Share, and ask: “Who could CJ be?”
n Maybe he’s the boy on the front cover.
n Maybe he’s on the bus.
Explain that this book is all about CJ using his senses to learn about the world. Explain that there is only one copy of this colorful, fun book, so they will want to pay very close attention as you read.
Display and Echo Read the Craft Question: Why is it important to use all your senses to listen?
Hold up the hearing, sight, and touch Sensory Cards, one at a time, and ask: “How can we use this sense to be a good listener? Volunteers respond.
Reinforce that students can listen with all three of these senses. Explain that they are already very familiar with how they listen with their ears, so they will focus on sight and touch in this lesson.
Extension
Hold up the hearing Sensory Card, and tell students to cover their ears until you give them a thumbs-up. Ask students to cover their ears. Speak for a few seconds and then give students the thumbs-up.
Instruct students to respond with a Nonverbal Signal (thumbs-up, thumbs-down), and ask: “Were you able to listen without hearing me?”
Volunteers respond. Hold up the hearing Sensory Card, and reinforce that people need to be able to hear in order to listen.
Hold up the sight Sensory Card, and choose two volunteers to sit back-to-back. Choose one of the students to speak to (Student A) as the other student (Student B) listens. Stand in front of Student A, and briefy describe something you are wearing (e.g., shoes, watch) without naming it. Ask Student B to name what you were describing and whether it would have been easier to answer that question if he or she had been looking at you as they listened.
Reinforce that using your eyes to listen helps you better understand someone. It also shows the speaker you are listening. Ears and eyes are a listening team.
Hold up the touch Sensory Card, and explain that people even think about how they are using their sense of touch when they listen.

Tell students to hold both hands above their heads. Explain that they will keep moving their hands, without moving from their seats, as they listen to you speak. Demonstrate a few ways students can move their hands without being disruptive. Tell students to move their hands quietly until you give them a thumbs-up. Ask students to begin moving their hands. Speak for a few seconds and then give students the thumbs-up.
Instruct students to respond with a Nonverbal Signal (thumbs-up, thumbs-down), and ask: “Were you able to listen carefully while moving your hands?”
Explain that it is important to not make noise or be distracting when they are listening. This means they need to keep their hands still and placed on their knees. Demonstrate “listening position” for students by showing how you place your hands on your own knees, not someone else’s. Allow students to practice getting into listening position a few times.
Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share, and ask: “Which senses do we use to listen?”
Tell pairs to check their answers as you hold up the three Sensory Cards.

Display the Wonder Chart for Last Stop on Market Street. Explain that the class has many kinds of questions about the text. Point out examples of different types of questions on the class chart. For example, some questions may be about what is happening in the story, some may be about people in the story, some may be about where they are going, or where they story takes place.
Remind students that readers often have questions about words in the story. Invite students to stand up if they have ever had a question about a word in a story. Emphasize that questions about words in the story are wonderful questions that help us grow as readers and as thinkers and that asking questions to understand the meaning of an unfamiliar word is a habit great readers keep throughout their lives.

Knit
Students Echo Read the word coin three times. Students use the Wonder Wheel to Think-Pair-Share questions they have about the word.
Scaffold
If students struggle to think of a question, provide a sentence frame for support. For example: What does _______ mean?
Explain that one of the best places to look for more information about words from the text is back in the text itself. Select one student-generated question to use as you model looking in the book for answers.
Reread the text, and display the illustration on page 9 of Last Stop on Market Street. Think Aloud as you look for clues in the text and illustration to answer the question.
For example:
I’m wondering what a coin is. Hmm…the words tell me that Mr. Dennis pulled a coin from behind CJ’s ear. That gives me a clue that a coin must be small. It would have to be small to fit behind an ear! Maybe I should look at the picture, too. Oh! I see Mr. Dennis holding something small and round in his hand. It looks like money. I think coin might be another word for money.
Confrm for students that a coin is a small, fat, thin piece of metal, usually round, that is used as money.
Ask: “Why might CJ and Mr. Dennis be talking about a coin when CJ gets on the bus?” Volunteers respond.
Use responses to reinforce that people usually have to pay money to take a bus ride. Provide practice with using the word coin by acting out the process of getting on a bus. In pairs, students take turns being the bus driver and the passenger. The bus driver says, “Where’s your coin?” The passenger pretends to place a coin in the bus driver’s hand and says, “Here’s my coin!” Reverse roles and repeat.
Put coin on the Word Wall as a module word.
Move to the next vocabulary word. Students Echo Read the word knit three times. Students use the Wonder Wheel to Think-Pair-Share questions they have about the word.
Reread page 11. Invite students to look for clues in the text and illustration to determine the meaning of the word. Confrm that knit means “to make a cloth or clothing with yarn and needles.”
Ask: “What does it look like to knit, like Nana on the bus?”
ForReviewOnly
Students act out knitting and then Think-Pair-Share using the sentence frame: I am knitting _____.
Ask students to give a thumbs-up, thumbs-down, or thumbs-sideways signal to show if their question about knit was answered. Invite students with thumbs-down or thumbs-sideways signals to share their lingering questions.

Explain that students will listen again to Last Stop on Market Street and practice using their senses to listen to the story. Students turn their eyes toward you and demonstrate listening position by placing their hands on their knees.
Explain to students that Last Stop on Market Street is a different type of book than the My Five Senses books they have read. The My Five Senses books share important information and teach readers about their senses; they are informational texts because they give information about a topic. Last Stop on Market Street is different because the author is telling a story; it is a storybook that shares about someone or something that is not real but is imaginary.
Remind students that rereading a book helps them become better readers. When they reread a book, they can better understand what is happening in the story. They might even fnd something in the story that they missed the frst time they read it. Remind students that in this lesson they will be thinking about what is happening in the story.
Extension
Introduce the word event by explaining that event is a word for what is happening in the story. Model how to use the word event, and encourage students to incorporate the word into their responses.
Read pages 1–2 aloud. Use a Think Aloud to model a retelling of what is happening in the story. For example:
Right now I know that CJ just got out of church. I know that because the words said, “CJ pushed through the church doors.” That means he went out. I also see him leaving the church in the picture.
Explain to students that they will work with a partner to Think-Pair-Share and answer questions about the story. Remind students that they are still listening with their senses. Use Equity Sticks to call on pairs to share their answers.
TEACHER NOTE
As students discuss what is happening in the text, consider using images to chart key events from the story. Use the image chart to support students as they build toward independence with retelling key events. Students will work more closely with literary retellings during Module 2.

Sample Detail Chart
Use the chart to highlight the difference between an illustration without details and one with details.
Ask: “What is different about the bus with details? Which illustration gives more information? Which is more interesting?” Volunteers respond.
Explain that adding details to illustrations and writing is important because details make them more interesting and give more information.
Display an incomplete image or drawing of a bus. Share that students will look in the text for details about the bus and will add those details to the class drawing.
TEACHER
NOTE Prepare the incomplete drawing of a bus ahead of time in order to maximize instructional time.
Hold up pages 7–8 in front of the class, and read them aloud. Emphasize the words creaked, sighed, and sagged. Explain that the drawing is incomplete. The illustrations and the words told readers a lot more about the bus.
Ask: “Who or what is creaking, sighing, and sagging?” Volunteers respond.
Ask volunteers to stand up and act out these three verbs, or the actions of the bus. Students create movements for each word and act them out as a class. If needed, model sighing, emphasizing the movement of the shoulders and loud, outward breath.
Model thinking aloud about how to add the sounds that the bus makes.
For example:
The sound of a bus sighing is like it is letting out air or saying ‘pfff’ or ‘ahhh.’ People do that through their mouths, but a bus doesn’t have a mouth! A bus has an exhaust pipe at the back where it lets out smoke and steam. Maybe I can add an exhaust pipe with puffs of air to the back of the bus to show that it is letting out air as it sighs.

n Freckles are spots on your skin.
n Freckles are brown.
TEACHER NOTE
If students do not have experience with this word, provide a defnition and give examples of what a freckle is. A freckle is a small brown mark on the skin. Freckles are often caused by sitting out in the sun.
Read the sentence on page 2 with the word freckled. Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share, and ask: “Does CJ’s shirt have freckles on it?” Use Equity Sticks to call on several students to respond.
Explain that words sometimes have more than one meaning, and the way the word freckled is being used in this sentence is different from the defnition discussed earlier. Invite students to imagine raindrops falling on their shirt. Ask: “How might those raindrops look like freckles?” Volunteers respond.
n The drops might be round like freckles are round.
n The drops might be spotted all over, like freckles
Sketch images of both freckles on a face and a freckled shirt next to the word displayed for the class.
Explain that there is another water-related word in the text that has two meanings. Read and point to the word duck. Ask: “What do you know about the word duck?” Volunteers respond.
n It is a bird.
n They live by a pond.
n They like when I feed them bread.
n They quack.
Read the sentence on page 3 with the word ducked. Students give a Nonverbal “yes” (thumbs-up) or “no” (thumbs-down) to indicate whether the word ducked in this sentence sounds like it is the same as the defnition they just discussed.
Remind students that words sometimes have more than one meaning, and the way the word ducked is being used in this sentence is different from the kind of duck that is a bird. Emphasize that they can use what they know to help them understand what this word means in this sentence.

Students reread Last Stop on Market Street, analyzing how the words reveal beauty CJ misses as they explore essential meanings in the story. This instruction reinforces how important details are to a story. It encourages students to look deeply at text and illustration, as important details can exist in the words that don’t exist in the illustrations and vice versa. Students apply this understanding as they begin Focusing Question Task 3 and discuss key details they will add to their task.

IDENTIFY ESSENTIAL MEANINGS
Whole Group
20 MIN.
Highlight or underline the words essential meaning in the Content Framing Question. Remind students that the essential meaning of a text is the important message the author is telling them in the story. It can also be a lesson they learn through the story.
Explain to students that fguring out a text’s essential meaning can be tough. They might not fnd a place in the text that tells the exact essential meaning. Readers often need to use clues in the story to fgure out the essential meanings. Thinking and talking about the story with others will help students fnd essential meanings; this is why they read a text multiple times and for different reasons.
As they read the text again, they have an opportunity to better understand its message by noticing different things or making connections between ideas. Invite students to think about the important message the author is telling them as they listen to Last Stop on Market Street.
Read Last Stop on Market Street aloud, without stopping. Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share, and ask: “After reading the text today, what do you think might be an essential meaning of the story? What in the text makes you think that?” Use Equity Sticks to call on students to answer.
Use the following TDQs to support students in refning their choice of essential meaning.

n He likes seeing people he knows there.
n Maybe these are his friends.
n He likes riding the bus I think.
n He learned about the rainbow.
Share with students that their ideas about the important message in the story might have changed after the class discussion. Emphasize that having new and different ideas or a change in their thinking can be a wonderful thing because it means they are fnding and understanding new things each time they read the text. When they share their thinking, they help each other see things that they might not have seen by themselves.
Instruct students to Mix and Mingle, and ask: “After reading and discussing the text today, what do you now think might be an essential meaning of the story?” Use Equity Sticks to call on students to answer.

TEACHER NOTE
The response sheet includes numbered rows and the word to be assessed; however, students may struggle to keep track of which row you are on, especially if they do not yet know their numbers. In this case, ensure that students mark their answers in the proper row with one of the following strategies:
Project the response sheet, and model for students how to fnd the proper row. (Optional: point to the relevant row as you read each question.)
Give students large index cards to use as a visual tracking device to conceal rows. Move down one row with each question.
Add recognizable geometric symbols (circle, square, star, etc.) next to the numbers to provide another layer of visual reference.
Explain to students how to fll out the response sheet. You will read a question aloud that contains the word listed beside the smiley face. If students think the answer to the question is “yes,” they draw a circle around the smiley face. If they think the answer is “no,” they draw a circle around the frowning face.
Use the teacher-facing version (with key) to administer the assessment.
Read the frst question aloud twice, and Think Aloud as you determine the answer. Instruct students to mark the correct answer and confrm that they circled the correct face. Remind students that there will only be one answer for each question.

Examine Labeling Details with Letters
Time: 15 min.
Text: Flower Day, Diego Rivera
Style and Conventions Learning Goal: Participate in shared writing to label details in Flower Day
STYLE AND CONVENTIONS CRAFT QUESTION: Lesson 17
Examine: Why is labeling details with letters important?
Launch
Show the illustration on pages 13–14 of Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, covering the words with a hand or sticky note. Ask: “What do you know about these pages from looking at the illustration?” Students silently consider the question for thirty seconds.
Explain that students will notice how words add details to the illustration. Slowly read the second and third sentence on page 13. Students listen for details from the words that they did not see in the illustration, using a Nonverbal Signal (thumbs-up) to identify new details.
Ask: “What details did the words add to the illustration?” Volunteers respond.
n The big letters are running. The illustration looks like they are standing.
n The big letters are the family. They are grown-ups. I didn’t know they were moms and dads.
n The big letters are dusting the little letters’ pants. The illustration doesn’t show pants.
Use responses to reinforce that authors use words to provide readers with more details than the illustrations show. Explain that as authors of their own writing, students will learn to label their details with letters.
ForReviewOnly
Display and read the Craft Question: Why is labeling details with letters important?
Learn
Display Flower Day on an erasable surface. Explain that the class will label the painting with letters to show details they noticed. Model how to label with letters, using the following process:
Choose a detail.
For example:
I notice a big basket on this person’s back. That basket is an interesting detail!
Say the detail, listening for the frst sound.
For example:
I want to write the word basket. Repeat that word with me. Now, I’ll say it slowly and use my sense of hearing to listen for the first sound. Basket, basket, /b/, /b/, basket. I think the word basket starts with the letter B.
Write the letter near the detail in the painting or illustration.
I’ll write basket right next to the picture of the basket as the label for this detail. See how it starts with the letter B?
Write the word on the painting near the detail, using a dry erase marker or other erasable implement.
Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share, and ask: “What other details could you label in Flower Day?”
n We can label the fowers.
n We can label feet. The people are sitting on their feet.
n I see the baby on the lady’s back.
Use Equity Sticks to call on several students to share. After each student shares, follow the process above to label the detail in the painting. Students say the word slowly together, emphasizing the initial sound.
Then, ask: “What sound do you hear at the beginning of that word?”
Students chorally respond. For each word, record the word and draw students’ attention to the beginning sound, explaining that writing the frst letter is what they will do in the next lesson.
ForReviewOnly
TEACHER NOTE
As students develop phonemic awareness, their frst focus is often on initial consonant sounds. Later, they will hear other sounds in the word. Every child develops phonemic awareness at an individual pace and in an individual sequence. Allow students to share other sounds if they hear them, but do not pressure students to identify more.
Land
Ask: “What details do the labels emphasize, or call our attention to?” Volunteers respond.
Reinforce that labeling with letters calls attention to the details that are labeled. Erase the words, explaining that most painters can call attention to details using only pictures, but, as authors, students will use labels to emphasize and add important details to their illustrations in the upcoming lessons.

TEACHER NOTE
ForReviewOnly
This instruction is important as the characters in this story are letters and not people, which is abstract for early readers. Acting out the text creates a personal connection to the words and illustrations, allowing students to develop deep understanding of what is happening in the text.
As you read each section, pairs stand up and use their bodies and words to act out what just happened in the story. After acting out each section, instruct students to Think-Pair-Share to respond to the corresponding TDQ.
Reread pages 1–9.
1 What’s happening in the story right now? Where are the letters going?
n The letters are climbing the tree.
n The letters are playing a game. They are going up the tree.
Reread page 5, emphasizing tag along. Ask: “What does it mean to tag along? Who are all the letters tagging along after in this section?” Volunteers respond.
n It means to go after.
n It means to follow.
n All the letters are tagging along after A.
Continue the pattern of rereading the text, acting out what happened in the story, and responding to TDQs with Think-Pair-Share for the following pages.
Pages 10–12:
2 What happened to the tree? What happened to the letters?
n The tree tipped over. All the letters fell.
n The tree bent down.
n The letters fell out of the tree.
Pages 13–14:
3 Look closely at the illustration on pages 13 and 14. Who are the adult, or grown-up, characters in this story? How do we know?
n The adults are the uppercase letters in the alphabet.
n They are bigger!
n They are called mamas, papas, uncles, and aunts.
n They all come running to help the little ones who have fallen. This is what adults do.
Pages 15–26:

n The letters are hurt. I see letters crying and with a bandage. That means they’re hurt.
n The letters got hurt. I know because it says “skinned-knee D” and “stubbed-toe E.”
Reread pages 27–30. Student pairs act out the end of the story.
Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share and ask: “What is happening in this story? What key details did we act out?” Use Equity Sticks to call on students to answer.
n The letters climbing.
n The letters falling.
n The grown-up letters coming to help.
n The letters leaving.

Explain that students will label their own picture of Flower Day with letters, using the same process they learned in Lesson 17.
Display Handout 18A. Explain that students will label the most important people and things in the picture to help show what is happening in the painting. Tell students that their families and a class partner will read their labels.
Invite a student with suffcient phonemic awareness and alphabet knowledge to model the process of labeling one detail. Other students use Nonverbal Signals for yes and no to indicate whether they agree with the process the student is modeling. As needed, prompt the modeling student to use the process learned in Lesson 17:
Choose a detail.
Say the detail, listening for the frst sound.
ForReviewOnly
Write the letter near the detail in the illustration.
After the student has written the initial letter, fnish writing the complete word using the following process: say the word slowly, and emphasize the sounds as you write the corresponding letters.
TEACHER NOTE
Be sure to write the whole word out. It is important for students to see a teacher modeling proper spelling techniques. They are not expected to add more letters or spell words accurately at this time. Students will work up to this over the course of the year as foundational skills build.
Consider researching the stages of spelling development and sharing what you learn with colleagues.
Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share, and ask: “What are the most important people and objects in the painting?” Use Equity Sticks to call on students to answer.
n The women and baby sitting on the foor are important.
n The man carrying fowers is important.
n The fowers are important.
As needed, use student responses to clarify that the most important people and objects help viewers know what’s happening in the painting.
Students label Handout 18A, writing the initial sound for each label next to the image on the handout. Encourage students to use the same method modeled earlier.

CRAFT QUESTION: Lesson 19
Execute: How do I label with letters in my illustration of Chicka Chicka Boom Boom?
In this lesson students synthesize understanding of the roles of authors and illustrators by taking on these responsibilities themselves. Students assume the role of illustrator and draw certain sections of the story using only words as a guide. Next, they apply their evolving skills of labeling with letters to a drawing to add more detail. Students apply knowledge of the interplay between author and illustrator and their roles when challenged to express themselves clearly to an audience.

PRACTICE FLUENCY
5 MIN.
Display the Repeated Language Chart. Explain to students that, in addition to reading with expression and energy, readers adjust the volume of their voice as they read. Sometimes they read words softly, and sometimes they ready them loudly.
Read the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom lines on the Repeated Language Chart. Ask: “Which words in this sentence would you read in a loud voice? Why?” Volunteers respond.
ForReviewOnly
n Boom! There’s an exclamation point.
n Boom! It means there was a crash.
Use their responses to explain that the word boom can be read in a loud voice because when something falls out of a tree it would be very loud.
Students stand and Echo Read the sentences using their loud voice while reading the word boom.
5 MIN.
Read aloud the Focusing Question and Content Framing Question.
Ask: “What have we learned about words and illustrations that will help us think about and answer this question? How have we seen words and pictures work together to reveal deeper meaning in other texts?” Volunteers respond.
n The words tell us what is happening.
n The pictures show us what is happening.
n The pictures match the words.
n Sometimes the pictures tell us more.
n The pictures show us details.
Ask: “If we don’t have pictures, how can we see what is happening?”
Volunteers respond.
n We could listen to the words.
n We could think about it.
n We could pretend we know what it looks like from the words.
n We can imagine it.
Reinforce that an author carefully chooses the words in a text. This is for a special reason: the specifc words help readers imagine what is happening. At the same time, the illustrator helps the reader see what is happening.
Explain to students that in this lesson, they will experiment with writing and illustrating themselves, which will help them better understand the roles an author and an illustrator each play in telling stories. First, however, they will conduct a deeper exploration of color in Flower Day.

Whole Group
Briefy display Le Gourmet, and ask volunteers to describe the colors in the painting. Ask: “Why might Picasso have used so much blue in this painting?”
Display Flower Day, and tell students that they will consider the following question during this lesson: What does a deeper exploration of color reveal in Le Gourmet?
Students review the painting silently for ffteen seconds. Instruct students to Mix and Mingle, and ask: “What colors did you notice in Flower Day? How is it different from Le Gourmet?”
Circulate as students discuss their answers. Jot down notes about student answers to highlight with the whole class.
Bring the class together, and highlight conversations from the Mix and Mingle.
Ask the following questions, calling on volunteers to respond:
1 Which colors appear most in the painting? Where do you see these colors?
n There’s a lot of white. It’s in the fowers and shirts.
n There’s a lot of red and orange. It’s in the clothes and the other fowers.
n There is a lot of brown in the people’s skin and hair.
Ask: “How would you describe the colors in Flower Day?”
n There are lots of them.
n They are bright.
Extension
Introduce students to the concepts of warm and cool colors. Ask them to describe which colors in Flower Day could be described as warm (red, orange) and which could be cool (yellow, white).
Display Le Gourmet, and remind students of how Picasso used different shades to create shadows (reference the Word Wall as needed).
Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share, and ask: “Do you see any shadows in Flower Day?”
Call on a pair to share. Reinforce that Rivera chose to paint without as many shades as Picasso, so viewers do not see as many shadows.
ForReviewOnly
Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share, and ask: “Why do you think Rivera chose these colors for this painting?”
Remind students that, just like authors and illustrators make choices about what they will write and draw, artists make choices about color. Explain that students will now look more deeply at the illustrations in Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.
CREATE ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE TEXT 25 MIN.
Whole Group
Give each student two blank sheets of paper and markers. Explain to students that they will become the illustrators, meaning they need to show readers what is happening in the story. They will listen closely to the words of the text and use them to create their own illustrations for the story. They will get to choose different colors for their illustration, just like Picasso and Rivera!
Explain that you will read the text aloud without showing them the pictures. Stop on the specifc spreads of pages listed below. Students draw what they think is happening as you read.
Read the text aloud through pages 9–10.
Students listen closely to the text on that page spread and make drawings to refect the text. Reread as needed. Give students fve minutes to create their interpretation from the text on pages 9–10.
Continue reading the text through pages 19–20.
Students draw what they think is happening on pages 19 and 20. Reread as needed. Give students approximately fve minutes to complete their drawings.
Once the second drawing is complete, turn to pages 9–10 in the text and display the illustration. Students turn to a partner and discuss this question: “How is your drawing similar? How is it different?” Use Equity Sticks to call on students to share.
Reread pages 9–10. Ask: “What details do the words leave out?” Volunteers respond.
Scaffold
“What is happening to the tree? How do we know that the tree is falling over? Do the words tell us?”
n We don’t see the other letters, but they are in the leaves.
n It doesn’t say that the tree is leaning over.
ForReviewOnly
n It doesn’t tell us the coconuts are falling off.
n We can see the tree starting to fall.
n We could guess all the letters together are too heavy.
Reread the sentence on page 10. Ask: “How else did you think that sentence would end? What does it mean for the whole alphabet to go up the tree?” Volunteers respond.
Scaffold
Explain that whole means “not divided into parts,” as in, “My whole class has 27 children in it.”
n I thought it would end with the words “up the tree.”
n The whole alphabet is all of the letters.
n It means that all of the letters are going up the tree.
Turn to pages 19–20 in the text and display the illustration. Students turn to a partner and discuss this question: “How is your drawing similar? How is it different?” Use Equity Sticks to call on students to share.
Reread pages 19-20. Ask: “What details did the words leave out on this page?” Volunteers respond.
n There are a lot of letters on the page, too.
n It doesn’t say that the tree is going up.
Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share, and ask: “Why does the illustrator play such an important role in this story?” Use Equity Sticks to call on students to answer.
n She shows us how the tree changes.
n We learn that the letters are getting heavy on top of the tree.
n The illustrator helps us guess what is going to happen.
n We learn what the letters look like all hurt.
n She is important because she helps us see what is happening.
Scaffold
“Why is it important to pay close attention to the story’s illustrations? Would we know the whole story if we didn’t have the pictures to look at?
Use student responses to reinforce that words by themselves are not always enough. They must use the illustrations to get more details from the story. Sometimes details are hidden for readers to fnd, like when the tree is bending and about to fall. This is why our sense of sight can be very helpful when reading a text.
COMPARE ILLUSTRATIONS 14 MIN.
Whole Group

Play students the animated version of Chicka Chicka Boom Boom: (http://witeng.link/0622)
Ask: “What did you notice about the pictures in this video? How are they different than in the book?” Volunteers respond.
Instruct students to Mix and Mingle, and ask: “How does the fact that the pictures move help you better understand the story?” Use Equity Sticks to call on students to answer.
n We can see them move.
n We can see the G breathing.
n It helps us see it better.
n This is fun because the letters seem real.
Use student responses to highlight that the moving pictures add a new perspective or understanding. For example, now students can see the G breathing heavy, the M stooped, and the N looped. Also, each letter moves in a different way, giving the letter personality.
Ask: “Did seeing the letters move change the way you think of the pictures or the story? How did your thinking change?” Volunteers respond.
EXECUTE LABELING WITH LETTERS 13 MIN.
Individuals
Display the Craft Question, and read it aloud to the class: How do I label with letters in my illustration of Chicka Chicka Boom Boom?
Students take out their drawings of pages 9–10 from earlier in the lesson. Explain that they will become authors by adding words to their illustrations.
Activate prior knowledge by asking: “Why is labeling details with letters important? How can it help someone looking at our illustration?” Use Equity Sticks to call on students to answer.
n Letters can tell people what we are drawing.
n Maybe they don’t know what we drew.
n They can read about what we drew.
Use responses to reinforce that labeling their illustrations with letters helps readers understand the details in the picture.
Students label details in their drawings of pages 9–10 using phonetic spelling. Students slowly sound out the words, and label their drawings with beginning sounds.

EXAMINE SYMMETRY IN FLOWER DAY
Whole Group
7 MIN.
Display Flower Day, and remind students of their previous study of the painting’s color. Tell students that they will consider the following question: What does a deeper exploration of symmetry reveal in Le Gourmet?
Explain that symmetry means that there are similar, or repeated, shapes on each side of the painting. Quickly draw or display a symmetrical design, like a butterfy, and point out what is the same on both sides.
Highlight the symmetry in the image by using a string to create a vertical line down the middle.
Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share, and ask: “What things are the same, or similar on both sides of the painting?”
n There are white and pink fowers on both sides.
n The man’s body is in the same position on both sides.
ForReviewOnly
n There are people behind the man on both sides.
n The people in front of the man are in almost the same position on both sides.
Use Equity Sticks to call on pairs to approach the painting and point to the items they referenced.
Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share, and ask: “How does the symmetry in this painting show you where to look or what to notice?”
n The fowers seem important. They are on both sides of the painting.
n The sitting people seem important. There is one person sitting on each side.
n The man carrying fowers. He is right in the middle. His body is doing the same thing on both sides.
Use Equity Sticks to call on pairs to share their thinking. Reinforce that Rivera’s symmetry helps viewers notice repeated images in the painting. Explain that students will now look at how Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault repeat words in Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.

TEACHER NOTE
The story in Chicka Chicka Boom Boom provides space for a variety of essential meanings. Allow the conversation to develop as organically as possible while pushing students to refer to the text and each other’s comments, as they co-construct meaning. Use the following question to support the discussion as you keep the conversation moving forward and keep the line of thinking rooted in the text.
Volunteers respond to the following question:
1 What words or phrases do you hear repeated over and over in Chicka Chicka Boom Boom?
n I hear chicka chicka boom boom
n It says coconut tree a lot.
n Will there be enough room?
Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share, and ask: “Let’s think more about the repeated phrase chicka chicka boom boom. How does this phrase make you feel? What clues might this phrase give us about essential meanings in the story?” Use Equity Sticks to call on students to answer.
n It makes me feel silly.
n It’s like a game.
n Maybe it’s a clue about having fun.

Students create a Moving Tableau of sections of text in small groups and respond to questions to identify what is happening in the text. Each student:
Uses the illustrations to inspire the movements of their bodies.
Uses textual evidence to identify key details and discuss what is happening in the text.
Next Steps
If students struggle with identifying key details in sections of the text, support them by rereading corresponding sections of the text one page at a time. Allow students to act out and identify what is happening on each page, rather than a whole section. This will help students focus on the details of a smaller portion of the text. Then, support students in adding these details together to describe what is happening in the text.
LESSON 24 DEEP DIVE: STYLE AND CONVENTIONS
Examine Prepositions

STYLE AND CONVENTIONS CRAFT QUESTION: Lesson 24
Examine: Why are prepositions important?
Launch
TEACHER NOTE
In this lesson, students learn the function of prepositions. They also learn how to identify a few common prepositions which answer the question where. This instruction will eventually enable students to expand their complete sentences by adding prepositions.
Hold up a copy of the text and turn to page 1. Display the following two variations of the frst sentence written on chart paper. Read each sentence slowly and while pointing to the words. If needed, read them twice. As you read the second sentence, emphasize the prepositional phrase.
“There once was a man who danced.”
“There once was a man who danced in the street.”
Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share, and ask: “What do you notice about these two sentences?”
Use Equity Sticks to call on students to answer.
n The frst one is shorter.
n The second one tells us more.
ForReviewOnly
n The second one tells us where he dances.
Scaffold
Support students’ thinking by asking, “How does the second sentence give us more information?”
Use responses to highlight that the phrase in the street tells us where Bojangles dances. It tells us more information and helps us understand what is going on in the picture.
Circle the word in in the second sentence on the large sheet of paper in front of the class. Explain that the word in is a preposition, or a word that helps us answer the question “where?”
Display and read the Craft Question: Why are prepositions important? Explain to students that in this lesson they will identify different prepositions and examine why they are so important in communicating key details.
Learn
Hold your copy of the text up in front of the class, and prompt students to follow. Explain that they will now look closely at specifc pages in the text and describe where things are in the picture using prepositions. At the same time, they will create a list of different prepositions they can use to describe locations.
Display pages 3–4. Point to the man sitting on the bench. Model thinking aloud about the illustration. Explain that you can see by looking at the picture that the man is sitting. Ask yourself: “Where is the man sitting? Is he sitting under the bench?
Model thinking aloud that the man is not sitting under the bench, but he is sitting on the bench. Write on on a large sheet of paper in front of the class. Quickly draw an image to pair with the word, such as a stick fgure sitting on a box.
Turn to pages 11–12. Point to the people in the illustration. Ask: “Where are the people standing?” Volunteers respond.
n They are standing outside.
Scaffold
If students need additional support, revise questions to be limited to yes/no responses. Have students stand if the answer is yes and remain seated if it is no. Continue supporting students until they have a better understanding of prepositions that can be used to describe locations.
Write outside on the chart. Quickly draw an image to pair with the word, such as a stick fgure standing outside a house or box.
Turn to pages 17–18. Point to the man holding fsh in his basket in the illustration. Ask: “Where are the fsh?” Volunteers respond.
n They are in the basket.
ForReviewOnly
Write in on the chart in front of the class. Quickly draw an image to pair with the word, such as a stick fgure inside a box or house.
Turn to pages 19–20. Point to the people holding umbrellas in the illustration. Ask: “Where are the people standing?” Volunteers respond.
n They are standing under the umbrella.
Write under on the chart in front of the class. Quickly draw an image to pair with the word, such as a stick fgure under a box or house.
TEACHER NOTE
If you feel students are grasping this concept and are able to generate other prepositions, such as above, next to, behind, in front of, then incorporate those as well.
Give each student a cup. Refer back to the charted list of words and images, and read each word. As you say the word, use the cup in your hands to model this action by placing a small manipulative or your own hand accordingly. Students mimic the action and Echo Read the word. For example, as you read the word in, place your hand or a small object inside the cup.
TEACHER NOTE
Land
Retain this chart for future lessons.
Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share, and ask: “Why was it important to use prepositions when answering questions about the illustrations? Why couldn’t we just say ‘they are standing there’?” Use Equity Sticks to call on students to answer.
n The prepositions tell us more.
n They tell us where something is.
n They help us give more detail.
n It tells the reader more information.
Extension
Explain to students that sentences do not always have to have a preposition. Use the example from the beginning of the lesson: “There once was a man who danced.” Reinforce that this sentence still gives us information about a man who danced.
Reread the second sentence from earlier in the lesson: “There once was a man who danced in the street.” Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share, and ask: “How does a preposition help us see how Bojangles is different than other dancers?” Use Equity Sticks to call on students to share.

TEACHER
NOTE If you do not have access to puppets, use fgurines or print out images and attach them to popsicle sticks.
Develop a non-example script for having a conversation, and use the puppets to act it out.
For example:
Puppet 1: “Rap a Tap Tap is such a great book! What’s your favorite part of the story?”
Puppet 2: <silence>
Puppet 1: “Didn’t you hear me? I said, Rap a Tap Tap is such a great book! What’s your favorite part of the story?”
Puppet 2: “I like basketball.”
Puppet 1: “Basketball? There’s no basketball in Rap a Tap Tap! Argh!”
Ask: “How would you feel if you were Puppet 1?” Volunteers respond.
n I would feel mad.
n I would be frustrated!
Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share, and ask: “What was the problem with that discussion?” Use Equity Sticks to call on students to answer.
n Puppet 2 didn’t say anything at frst.
n Puppet 2 didn’t answer Puppet 1’s question.
n Puppet 2 didn’t make any sense.
Ask: “Did that discussion help the puppets understand Rap a Tap Tap?” Students chorally respond.

Puppet 1: “Rap a Tap Tap is such a great book! What’s your favorite part of the story?”
Puppet 2: “My favorite part of the story is when Bojangles pets the cat.”
Puppet 1: “Yeah! I like that part, too. That’s the only part of the story when Bojangles’ feet are still and he’s not dancing.”
Puppet 2: “Really? How can you tell?”
Puppet 1: “I saw it in the pictures. All the pictures show Bojangles’ legs moving with shadows. But there aren’t any leg shadows on the page with the cat. Instead, the CAT has tail shadows!”
Puppet 2: “Ha-ha! I want to see that! Let’s go look at the book together.”
Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share, and ask: “How was that discussion different?” Use Equity Sticks to call on students to answer.
n Puppet 2 answered the question.
n Puppet 2’s answer made sense that time.
n They talked about the book together.
n Puppet 1 didn’t get frustrated.
Ask: “Did that discussion help the puppets understand Rap a Tap Tap? What did they learn from each other?” Volunteers respond.
n Yes, Puppet 2 learned about the leg shadows in the book.
n Yes, they learned they both liked the same part.
n Yes, Puppet 2 learned that Bojangles isn’t moving his feet when he pets the cat.
Use student responses to reinforce that the second discussion was a conversation. When people have a conversation, they share thoughts and ideas with others. Talking about ideas and listening to the ideas of others will help students think more deeply about their thoughts and questions.
Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share, and ask: “Why might it be important to have conversations when we speak?” Use Equity Sticks to call on students to answer.
n It can help us understand the book.

1 How do the faces in the illustration show us what pleasure and joy mean? What is the look on someone’s face called?
n They are smiling. Maybe it means they are happy.
n It means they really like his dancing.
n They are watching him with happy faces. Maybe they like to listen and see him dance.
n It’s their expression.
As you read through the text, use the illustrations to help determine the definitions for other words in the text, such as fancy, paused, and fame.

2 The text says that some doors were open and some doors were closed. Where do you see open and closed doors in the illustration? How can you tell that they are open or closed?
n I see two open doors. I see people holding those doors open.
n I can see people standing in the doorways. Those doors must be open.
n There is a closed door with a red line going across.
n I see a man that is turned away from Bojangles. That door looks closed.
3 Look at the people’s faces and hands. How do their expressions show us what they might be feeling?
n The people at the open doors are smiling. They look happy.
n I see people waving to Bojangles. I think they are enjoying his dancing.
n The person at the closed door has a frown. He looks mad.
n The man at the closed door has one hand on his hip and one hand pushing out. I don’t think he likes Bojangles’ dancing.
Explain to students that the illustrators chose to include the image of the open and closed doors in order to show important information about the time in which Bojangles lived. Share that Bojangles lived during a time when many doors were closed to him because of the color of his skin. Bojangles was one of many African-American artists and writers who helped to change that by working to open doors for people of all races. This time in history is called the Harlem Renaissance. Tell students that it was called the Harlem Renaissance because the African-American artists and writers lived in a part of New York City called Harlem.
Remind students that reading one text can often bring up questions that we have to look at other texts, including other books and websites, to answer.

Instruct students to respond with a Nonverbal Signal (thumbs-up, thumbs-down), and ask: “Is an ‘explosion of creativity’ a good thing?”
Explain that an “explosion of creativity” was a very good thing; it brought music and art into the world and made the country discuss more ways to open doors for everyone, no matter their skin color.
Read aloud the last paragraph of the article (beginning with “As the 20th century progressed”). Explain that phrases like “great transformation,” “pride,” and “rebirth” tell the reader that the Harlem Renaissance was an extremely important and exciting time for African Americans. Reinforce that, as a part of this movement, Bojangles helped to showcase the talents and contributions of AfricanAmerican artists.
Return to Rap a Tap Tap. Display and reread pages 7-8. Instruct students to Think-Pair-share, and ask: “What does this page show us about Bojangles and the Harlem Renaissance?”
n Some doors were closed for Bojangles because of the color of his skin.
n Bojangles kept dancing even though some people wouldn’t watch him.
n Bojangles’ dancing helped open doors for African Americans.
Put closed on the Word Wall as a module word.
TEACHER NOTE
The blended sounds in closed may be diffcult for students to hear. However, the idea of closed doors is essential understanding the signifcance of the historical setting. Therefore, add it to the Word Wall without asking students to make the letter-sound connection in this word.
Extension
As time permits, introduce students to music and art from other Harlem Renaissance artists, such as Duke Ellington and Aaron Douglas.
Read through the rest of the text. Turn back to the beginning of the text and slowly turn through the pages, prompting students to focus only on Bojangles. Ask: “Is Bojangles standing still in these pictures?” Volunteers respond.

CRAFT QUESTION: Lesson 26
Execute: How do I use labeling with letters in my Focusing Question Task?
Over the course of the module, students have been using their sense of hearing to grasp how words communicate key details in a story. In this lesson, students take this exploration further as they use hearing to interpret how the author uses rhyming words to mimic the sounds of dancing, adding to the understanding of the text. Students apply this knowledge while collecting evidence for the Focusing Question Task. Finally, students begin work on the Focusing Question Task, using labeling with letters to add details to their drawings.

Whole Group
Explain that they will now read the story as a class, focusing on how the author uses rhyming words. In order to help keep track of all the rhyming words in the text, they will Annotate using sticky arrows.
Give pairs a copy of the text and a set of sticky arrows. Use picture/word cards cut from Handout 26A as you read. Pairs follow along in their own copies of the book.
Begin reading the text aloud to the class. Annotate the words street and greet on pages 1 and 3, using the same color sticky arrow. Pairs Annotate the same words in their copies.
Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share, and ask: “How do street and greet sound the same?” Use Equity Sticks to call on students to answer.

Name:
Handout 26A: Rhyming Cards (Page 1 of 5)
Directions: Signal when you hear a word that rhymes with the word on
If needed, redefne rhyme
Introduce and then practice a jumping rhyme game to help identify the rhyming words in Rap a Tap Tap. Students sit while you read page 1. When you read street, hold up the corresponding picture/word card from Handout 26A. This indicates that students should stand up and listen for a word that rhymes with street. Repeat the word street, and remind students to listen for a rhyming word as you continue reading.
Read pages 3–5. When students hear the rhyming words greet and feet, they jump. After they jump, students check whether the word rhymes with the word on the card. If it does, pairs mark them with the same colored sticky arrow in their copies of the text.
TEACHER NOTE Use different colored sticky arrows for each of the rhyming pairs. If these are not available, use small pieces of different colored sticky notes or paper. The purpose is to have rhyming couples in the same color.
The class continues playing the jumping rhyme game as you read. Students sit down after pages 6, 10, 14, 18, and 22 to start a new round.
n Jumps (rhymes): street, greet, feet; skids, kids; hat, cat; same, fame, name
n No movement (not rhymes): closed, clothes; weather, clatter
TEACHER NOTE
For pages 15–18: cat also rhymes with pat and that. Students may signal for these rhyming words as well. If time allows, use the opportunity to line these four words up vertically to reinforce how words that rhyme have different beginning sounds but end with the same sounds or letters.
Using the same rhythm and motions to check for rhymes will help students transfer the skill. You can use a chant like “Street. Greet. Sound the same at the end, so they rhyme.” “Closed. Clothes. Different sounds at the end; they don’t rhyme.”
Reread pages 15–18 aloud to the class. Read rhythmically, emphasizing the last word in each sentence. Ask students to stand up and move their bodies to the beat of the words as you read these pages a second time. Stomp a foot or twist back and forth to indicate what you mean.
Instruct students to Think-Pair-Share, and ask: “What sound do the rhyming words remind you of? How do the rhyming words help you know how to move your body? How do the authors use rhyming words to help remind us of dancing?” Use Equity Sticks to call on students to answer.

For each storybook ask students the following questions: “Why is this a storybook? What adventure or experience is it telling us about?” Volunteers respond to each question.
For each informational text, ask students the following questions: “Why is this an informational text? What topic are we learning more information about?” Use Equity Sticks to select students to respond. TEACHER NOTE
If students struggle, label the texts for them and facilitate the conversation by explaining your reasoning, having them chime in with answers as they can. Students will explore different text types in a more thorough way in future modules. This exercise is meant to introduce common types of text and give students a new way to think about the module texts prior to the EOM Task.

INTRODUCE THE EOM TASK
Whole Group
5 MIN.
Reread the Essential Question aloud. Students Echo Read the question. Introduce the EOM Task. Explain to students the criteria for success and what tools they have to answer this question.
Students create a book about how the fve senses help a character from the text and themselves learn about the world.
Students use cutting and pasting to insert the text title and subject of their sentence.
Students draw and label with evidence from the text to complete the frame.
Students label drawings with spelling with sounds.
Hold up a copy of Assessment 30B as you explain the task and the different parts students will complete.
CONDUCT A GALLERY WALK 20 MIN.
Individuals
Display a copy of Assessment 30A in front of the class, and give one copy to each student. Remind students that when answering a prompt, it is important to use textual evidence to support their answers. Point back to the highlighted phrase in the Knowledge Journal from earlier in the lesson.
Ask: “Where can we fnd evidence from Last Stop on Market Street, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, and Rap a Tap Tap on how people—characters from the stories or people in this classroom—use the fve senses to learn?” Volunteers respond. Use responses to reinforce that they will use Assessment 30A to plan their work for the EOM Task.
ForReviewOnly
Explain the different parts of the assessment and where they can fnd information to record. For example:
On the first page of the assessment you will see two boxes at the top. In the first box, cut and paste the name of the text you will use to support your answer. In the second box, cut and paste a character from the story you chose, either CJ or the boy from My Five Senses. I see there are boxes for the five senses below. I am going to choose one sense and collect evidence from the Evidence Chart about how my character used that one sense to learn about the world.
On the second page of the assessment I see that there are only boxes for sense of sight and sense of hearing. On this page I choose between two texts, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom or Rap a Tap Tap. I cut and paste the name of this text into the box at the top of my handout. Next, I choose one sense, sight or hearing, and collect evidence from the Evidence Charts on how I used that one sense to learn from the text.
TEACHER NOTE
If time allows, model completing a page of the handout as you dictate the different parts. This will help students visualize the different components and where to fnd the information to complete the handout.
Students complete Assessment 30A as they conduct a Gallery Walk through the different evidence organizers created over the course of the module.
Once they complete the handout, pairs share their planning sheet. Students verbally practice completing the sentence frames for the EOM Task using the information recorded on Assessment 30A. Circulate around the classroom, listening to the different vocabulary that students use and offering support where needed.

Students create a book about how the fve senses help a character from the text and themselves learn about the world. Each student:
Uses cutting and pasting to insert the text title and subject of their sentence.
Draws and labels with evidence from the text to complete the frame.
Labels drawings with spelling with sounds.
Next Steps
If students struggle with completing the sentence frames, consider the root cause of the error. Does the error indicate that the student struggles with fnding appropriate textual evidence to support their response? Does the error indicate that the student struggles with how to construct their answer using cutting and pasting? Or, does the error indicate the student struggles with matching the letter sounds to the appropriate letter?
Once you have identifed the error, review students’ previous work and see if this is part of a pattern. Then, consult with colleagues to generate strategies for scaffolding students’ learning.
Group students with similar needs and plan small group support for these skills to set students up for success with completing their EOM Task.

NOTE
This marks the beginning of students using checklists to evaluate their own writing. In subsequent modules, students will use these checklists more frequently, including on Focusing Question Tasks. However, at this point, the goal is to introduce the tool to students and encourage them to refect on their writing.
Ask: “What is a checklist? What do we use them for?” Volunteers respond.
Reinforce that checklists are tools to help us remember important things. Some people use checklists to make to-do lists; some people use checklists to make a grocery list. Share that writers use checklists to make sure they have included everything the prompt requires.
Direct students’ attention toward the self-evaluation column. Explain that this is the column they will be using in this lesson.
Scaffold
Lightly shade the self-evaluation column.
Remove the peer evaluation column to avoid confusion.
Select 3–4 criteria from the checklist. Use the following steps to support students in evaluating their work:
Read the criteria.
Ask students a concrete question related to that criteria to help them refect on their writing. For example: “Where did you draw what a character learns about the world using his senses? Where did you label your drawing? Can you point to those places?”
Circulate as students look for the criteria, offering support as needed.
Instruct students to draw a plus mark if they were able to point to that part of their writing or a triangle if they are unsure about whether they included that element.
Repeat the above process for the criteria you selected.

Call on a volunteer to share their book with the class. After the student shares, model giving a compliment about the student’s writing and/or drawing using the sentence frames: I liked hearing and I liked seeing ____. Give at least four compliments using these frames to allow students to internalize them. Display the sentence frames and ask students to Echo Read the frames three times.
Divide the class into groups of 4–5 students. Students share their book with their group. Each group members offers one compliment after a peer shares. Encourage students to use the sentence frames: I liked hearing_______; I liked seeing_______.
Circulate and choose two students to share their work with the class.
TEACHER NOTE
Designate a specifc chair in the classroom the “author’s chair.” Use the same chair throughout the whole year. This will signify to students that when someone is sharing their writing they deserve full attention. It will also empower students to feel proud about the work they have done and get them excited to take a turn to share with their peers.
Ask: “Why is it helpful to offer a compliment to our peers? How did it make you feel?” Volunteers respond.
Use student responses to reinforce that offering a compliment after someone shares their writing is helpful because it tells the author what was great about their writing.

Appendix A: Text Complexity
Great Minds carefully selects high-quality module texts that are content-rich and beautifully crafted. All texts, especially the core texts, must be appropriately challenging to ensure that students have opportunities to develop their literacy skills and meet Florida’s K–12 expectation ELA. K12.EE.2.1: “Read and comprehend grade-level complex texts profciently.” Each module core text is evaluated using quantitative measures outlined in Florida’s B.E.S.T. Standards: English Language Arts > Appendix B: Reading > Text Complexity section (http://witeng.link/0950) and qualitative measures such as those described in Florida’s Text Complexity Rubric.
Core module texts:
Title and author Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault; Illustrations, Lois Ehlert
Description of Text
Complexity ratings
ForReviewOnly
The text tells the story of each childlike lowercase letter of the alphabet, each with its own personality and group of friends, rushing ragtag to climb up a coconut tree. When the tree bends, the letters fall to the ground. Some leave banged up and tired, while others have the adults in their community (the uppercase alphabet) rush in to comfort them. Students analyze the purpose of repetitive language and how the words and illustrations in a text work together to communicate key information and meaning.
Quantitative:
AD530L
Qualitative:
Meaning/Purpose: The purpose is to provide delight with and practice of the alphabet. The story anthropomorphizes each letter and is funny, giving students the opportunity to practice recognizing letters and associating the written form, both lowercase and uppercase, with the name of the letter.
Structure: The story has a straightforward narrative structure. Repeated language throughout gives readers an opportunity to make predictions and actively engage in fluent reading.
Language: The muscular verbs describing the varying modes of motion and the injuries sustained by the letters lend depth, personality, and joy to what could have been just another alphabet book.
Knowledge Demands: Having prior knowledge of the alphabet is useful for students but the story will activate background knowledge and reinforce or provide familiarity throughout the text.
Title and author Last Stop on Market Street, Matt De La Peña; Illustrations, Christian Robinson
Description of Text
Complexity ratings
This picture book describes an afternoon in the life of CJ, who leaves church with his grandmother (Nana) and grudgingly takes the bus to the last stop on Market Street. While journeying with CJ, readers learn about CJ’s perception of the world, influenced by Nana’s appreciation of other people and her surroundings and her ability to find beauty all around her. With the author’s descriptive words and the illustrator’s powerful art, students share in CJ’s trip to the soup kitchen as he uses his senses to experience the world around him.
Quantitative:
AD610L
Qualitative:
ForReviewOnly
Meaning/Purpose: The book lauds living in the moment and appreciating daily pleasures: smells, sounds, tastes, sights, and companionship. The story contains multiple levels of meaning, and students may require support identifying the text’s message.
Structure: The book is a narrative with chronological structure.
Language: The rich verbs are mimetic of the message that no opportunity—even the opportunity to describe something—should be wasted. Figurative language enhances the visual experience and sparks the reader’s imagination. Limited colloquial language shows CJ’s casual, warm relationship with his grandmother.
Knowledge Demands: The text requires some knowledge of urban life such as riding a bus and visiting a soup kitchen. Clean transitions and clear illustrations support meaning in the story.
Title and author My Five Senses, Aliki
Description of Text This book combines colorful, friendly art with simple but pervasive ideas: everything you sense helps you become aware of the world around you. Students learn that each smell, sight, noise, thing to eat, and thing to touch teaches something. This text helps students solidify knowledge of the senses and their understanding of how one uses his senses to learn from the world around him.
Complexity ratings
Quantitative:
AD590L
Qualitative:
Meaning/Purpose: The text provides a straightforward explanation of the five senses, yet also addresses more nuanced ideas such as using multiple senses at once, and awareness.
Structure: The book employs sections of patterned language with illustrations to support meaning.
Language: The sentence structure and vocabulary are simple and accessible. The text uses multiple forms of words (e.g., “I use my sense of taste. I am tasting.”) to enhance sensory vocabulary.
Knowledge Demands: The text’s content is largely familiar and explains unfamiliar concepts (such as awareness) through examples and explanation.
Title and author My Five Senses, Margaret Miller
Description of Text

This text is a striking photographic compilation of young children in familiar scenarios using their senses to drink in the world. Supported by simple, repetitive language, it gives emerging readers a strong introduction to a study of sense and personal connection to the functions of their sense organs. This text serves as an accessible introduction to the module’s content and to concepts of print.
Quantitative:
AD590L
Qualitative:
Meaning/Purpose: The text offers a straightforward explanation of the five senses, using photographs to connect readers to sensory experiences.
Structure: A repeated sentence pattern helps students follow along easily and offers opportunities to practice fluent reading.
Language: Simple text conveys accessible concepts as supported by photographs.
Knowledge Demands: The content of the text is largely familiar to kindergarteners and is supported by photographs.

This book features gorgeous, limited-color paintings paired with verse that evoke the legendary talent and spirit of Bill “Bojangles” Robinson. A well-composed urban landscape shows delighted faces wherever the dancer passes by, bringing pleasure, elegance, and culture wherever he goes. Repeated language allows early readers to participate in telling, lending a feeling of ownership over the story. Students learn how their senses of sight and hearing help them experience a text and learn from the illustrations and words.
Quantitative:
AD300L
Qualitative:
Meaning/Purpose: The text shares a perspective on Bill “Bojangles” Robinson’s life by chronicling his infectious vibrancy and the joy he brought to members of his community, often in the throes of economic hardship and discrimination.
Structure: The text contains a chronological and informational narrative with characteristics of an illustrated poem.
Language: The text contains some unfamiliar words that are scaffolded by context and illustrations. The patterned rhythmic and rhyming verses that repeat throughout create opportunities for students to participate in reading the story.
Knowledge Demands: To understand the content of this text, knowledge of the Great Depression and Harlem Renaissance are helpful.

Appendix B: Vocabulary
Wit & Wisdom focuses on teaching and learning words from texts. Students develop an awareness of how words are built, how they function within sentences, and how word choice affects meaning and reveals an author’s purpose.
The purpose of vocabulary study in Wit & Wisdom is to achieve the following three key student outcomes:
Improve comprehension of complex texts.
Increase students’ knowledge of words and word parts (including affxes, Latin or Greek roots, etc.).
Increase students’ ability to solve for unknown words on their own.
To achieve these outcomes, vocabulary study in Wit & Wisdom emphasizes the following three categories of vocabulary words:
Content Vocabulary: Necessary for understanding a central idea of the domain-specifc text and/or module topic.
Academic Vocabulary: High-priority words that can be used across disciplines and are likely to be encountered in other texts. Often abstract and with multiple meanings, these words are unlikely to be known by students with limited vocabularies.
Text-Critical Vocabulary: Words and phrases that are essential to students’ understanding of a particular text or excerpt.
Vocabulary study in Wit & Wisdom will occur within the following types of instruction:
Core 75-min. daily lessons: Vocabulary study that is essential to understanding the text at hand. Instructional strategies are explicitly introduced and practiced during vocabulary instruction and put into practice during a reading of a text.
Vocabulary Deep Dives: Vocabulary instruction and practice that advances students’ knowledge of high-value words and word-solving strategies, focusing on aspects such as abstract or multiple meanings, connotation, relationships across words, and morphology.
ForReviewOnly
Vocabulary learning is assessed indirectly through application and directly through two-question assessments (Kindergarten through Grade 2) and sentence assessments (Grades 3-8). Assessment words are selected because of their importance to the module’s content, as well as their relevance and transferability to other texts and subject areas.
Indirect Assessment: Students are expected to use and incorporate words from the below list into their academic discourse, through speaking and listening (during Socratic Seminars) and writing (during formal writing tasks, such as the EOM).
Direct Assessment: Teachers should make this list available to students through the Assessed Vocabulary Study Guide. (Words appear on two Assessed Vocabulary Study Guides for those grades that provide a mid- and end-of-module vocabulary assessment.)
* You will note that Indirect Assessments are not specifed in Module 1 of Kindergarten; rather, there are reminders about referencing the Word Wall and bringing previously studied vocabulary into the lessons when appropriate. This is an instructional decision to reduce the cognitive load required of beginning Kindergartners, allowing them to focus on acclimating to classroom procedures and expectations. Indirect Assessments will begin in Module 2.
The following is a complete list of all words taught and practiced in the module. Those that are assessed, directly or indirectly, are indicated.

Module Summary
“All our knowledge begins with the senses.”
Immanuel Kant, Critique of Pure ReasonA child savors the last bit of goodness at the bottom of a bowl. A coconut tree dips and sways. Tap-dancing toes clatter. As students drink in the sensory experiences conveyed by the words and illustrations in these texts, they explore this question: What are our senses, and how do they help us learn—as humans and as readers?
Studying the fve senses lays an early foundation for the study of science. Full of rhyme, rhythm, and color, this module introduces children to the joy and rigor of text-based, content-rich learning. Students become aware of how writers and artists leverage these tools to communicate experience. They understand how readers use senses to process information and learn. Students gain transferrable knowledge of how a text’s words and illustrations work together to provide a rich sensory experience.
The module begins with Margaret Miller’s My Five Senses, which uses engaging, relatable photographs of children to introduce the fve senses and their connection to emotion. To support the work of the frst text, students consider Pablo Picasso’s blue-period painting Le Gourmet, exploring the senses they use to appreciate and understand a painting. They also examine the senses the subject of the painting uses. Next, students approach the patterned language in Aliki’s accessible My Five Senses, with a focus on the relationship between words and illustrations. Students examine the way these elements work together, like our senses, to provide awareness of the world around us. The class then explores Last Stop on Market Street, the narrative of a boy’s journey through the city with his wise grandmother, who helps him appreciate the beauty of his surroundings.
ForReviewOnly
Students make inferences based on Lois Ehlert’s vivid illustrations while reading the classic Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault. They examine the rhythm of the book’s repeated refrains. Through a second art study of Diego Rivera’s painting Flower Day, they enrich their exploration of repeated elements by examining color and symmetry. Students continue closely listening and reading texts with Rap a Tap Tap by Leo and Diane Dillon. They dance to the motionrich illustrations inspired by Harlem Renaissance painter Aaron Douglas and chant the rhyming poem about the tap-dancing great, Bill “Bojangles” Robinson.
As the culmination of this exploration in the End-of-Module Task, students write and illustrate an original book detailing how their senses help them (as readers) to learn from texts. Their books also explore how a character from a module text uses senses to learn about the world. The books answer the Essential Question that all other module questions have been leading them to explore: How do our senses help us learn?
ESSENTIAL QUESTION
How do our senses help us learn?
SUGGESTED STUDENT UNDERSTANDING
We have fve senses: smell, taste, touch, hearing, and sight.
Our senses take in information and make us aware of the world around us.
People use their senses to learn about the world and to learn from books.
Details in illustration, speech, and text provide more information for readers.
Words and illustrations work together to tell a story and present information.

Module in Context
Knowledge: In this frst module of Kindergarten, students identify the senses and understand that the senses are tools to help people learn about the world. Accessing and developing their senses as tools empowers students and encourages curiosity and mindfulness. Students listen and look to gather information from the text and illustrations. As they explore literary and informational texts, they use text elements together to frst access a text’s content and later to analyze texts.
ForReviewOnly
Reading: Through a rich, question-based approach to reading, students form a strong habit of unlocking meaning from texts. With the frst read of each text, students ask questions, which sets an authentic purpose for rereading. In addition, questioning encourages students to see a text through a more critical lens. Questioning also allows students to consider what the text tells them implicitly and explicitly and encourages them to keep asking when there is more knowledge to explore. Students develop basic concepts of print, identifying parts of the book and the roles of authors and illustrators. They apply this knowledge by closely examining the texts’ illustrations and words, differentiating between the two elements, and describing the connections they fnd. Students identify rhyme and repetition in rhythmic books before considering and fnally expressing the impact of these devices. This study of language also launches students’ fuency work for the year, helping them see predictable patterns that, with practice, they become able to recite independently. This suite of skills provides a solid foundation for the year ahead and for a lifetime of close reading.
Communication through Writing: The primary writing focus of the module is text-based explanatory writing. Students begin by unpacking prompts and learning to respond, orally and in writing. Students use sentence frames to construct a complete sentence, which later serve as a scaffold for their own independent writing. Students collect evidence to answer a specifc question. Then they expand upon their responses by providing additional details from the text in their drawings. In whole-group lessons, students begin by drawing detailed pictures. Drawing is an important part of writing, allowing students to show more of their thinking then they can presently express in writing. Later in the module, students use phonetic spelling to add labels to the pictures and complete simple sentence frames. Since early kindergartners’ writing development varies widely, students build from where they are, engaging in productive struggle without frustration. Throughout this module, students write, draw, and dictate frequently, including brief responses in their Response Journals, recording evidence to post on class charts, and building collaborative books. In the EOM Task, students build their own books.
Communicating Orally: Students have frequent opportunities to develop their listening and speaking skills in multiple settings, including whole group, small group, and pairs. During ongoing discussions about the texts, students explore the beginning concepts of sharing ideas in a group setting. Students learn to speak one at a time and listen with their senses, actions that lend themselves to the reciprocal nature of conversations. Students engage in conversations about the text both in class discussions and in Socratic Seminars. These opportunities give students a chance to build on their knowledge of the content and support their ideas with textual evidence while responding to classmates thoughtfully and respectfully.
