5 Continued Close Reading of That Book Woman: Text-Dependent Questions and Vocabulary Opening A. Engaging the Reader (5 minutes) Gather the students together as a group. Show students several illustrations from That Book Woman by Heather Henson. For each illustration, ask students to Think-Pair-Share the important details happening in that scene: Who do you see? What do you see? What s an important detail you remember from this part of the story? Study illustrations for 3 minutes to activate students prior knowledge. Unpack the first learning target: I can answer questions using specific details from the That Book Woman. Ask students to turn and talk with a partner, restating this target in their own words. Unpack the second learning target: I can explain why I chose specific details to answer questions about the text. Ask students to turn and talk with a partner, restating this target in their own words. Direct students attention to the Close Read recording form anchor chart for That Book Woman they created during Lesson 10. Remind students that today they will continue rereading, talking, and writing about this challenging text to understand it even better. Meeting Students Needs Keep in mind students have only seen the illustrations on the initial reading of the text. All other reads have been using the text excerpts. Students may benefit from an additional full reading of the text again at the outset of this lesson. CCI Enhanced Module (Williamsville Central Schools) February

6 Continued Close Reading of That Book Woman: Text-Dependent Questions and Vocabulary Work Time A. Vocabulary: Part 1 (15 minutes) Students will now work with the words they circled during their rereading of the text excerpts for That Book Woman. Gather students back together and review the strategy they learned for finding the meaning of unfamiliar words while reading Rain School. Read the learning target: I can determine the meaning of new vocabulary using clues in the text around a word. Ask students to Think-Pair-Share what this learning target is and what they did with words in Rain School. Share as a whole group. Tell students that That Book Woman is a really hard book, especially because of the dialect. There may have been lots of words in this story that were difficult for them to understand. Explain the strategy of looking at clues in the text around the unfamiliar word, and then replacing the word with other words that might mean the same thing. Write the sentence, seeing as how my sister Lark would keep her nose a-twixt the pages of a book day break to dusky dark. on the board or a chart. Circle the word a-twixt. Think aloud the process of using clues in the sentence: her nose is in a book, she s reading, where is your nose when you re reading? Model the process of substituting other words for the unfamiliar word until one makes sense, for example in and between. Think aloud the process of using clues in the sentence: her nose is in a book, she s reading, where is your nose when you re reading? Model the process of substituting other words for the unfamiliar word until one makes sense, for example in and between. Because of the dialect, choose another example from the That Book Woman Vocabulary: Using Context Clues, provided in Supporting Materials for teacher reference. On one side of an 8.5" x 11" sheet of white paper, write the sentence from the text, circling the unfamiliar word or phrase. Think aloud and model the process of substituting other words for the unfamiliar word until you come upon one or two that make sense in the context. On the other side of the paper, write the possible substitutions, making sure to model trying the substitutions out in the sentence. Distribute a 3" x 5" index card to each pair of students. Assign each partnership with one of the words or phrases from the list. Give partnerships 5 minutes of independent work time to use this process with their assigned word or phrase. Remind them that on one side they are to write the whole sentence that the word or phrase is in, circling the unfamiliar word or phrase. On the other side, they are to write one or two possible words that the word or phrase might be similar to in meaning. Gather students back together as a group. Using the chart Understanding the Vocabulary of That Book Woman review the work of the partnerships and the actual meanings of the words and phrases. Meeting Students Needs The focus of this work is for students to use context clues in determining the meaning of unknown words. In the Supporting Materials of this lesson, a list of words (and their context) lends itself to this vocabulary strategy. Allow ELL students to pair up with students who speak their native language. CCI Enhanced Module (Williamsville Central Schools) February

7 Continued Close Reading of That Book Woman: Text-Dependent Questions and Vocabulary Work Time (continued) B. Text-Dependent Questions: Looking for Evidence (15 minutes) Remind students that they have already heard or read That Book Woman three times: 1. the read-aloud for enjoyment and to get the flow of the story 2. on their own and with groups to get the gist of it and find unfamiliar vocabulary 3. on their own and with groups to find and record important details and think about the story s message or lesson. Tell students they will use their Text Excerpts for That Book Woman from Lesson 10. Distribute That Book Woman: Questions from the Text. Review with students the process they went through to answer questions about Rain School and Nasreen s Secret School. First, they read the questions. Then, they read the entire text, keeping those questions in mind. When they encountered details that could be used as evidence to answer a question, they marked that section of the text by underlining or writing evidence. Review the word evidence with the class as something we use to prove an idea we have. Explain to students that they have 10 minutes to look for evidence they can use to answer the text dependent questions. Since with this story, students are working with text excerpts on paper for the first time and considering the dialect, it may be necessary to support students to a greater degree as they look for the evidence from within the excerpts. Remind students that right now they are not going to write out answers for the questions. First they will find evidence and then they will talk with their peers before writing answers. After students have worked for about 10 minutes, interrupt them and ask them to discuss with a partner or small group the evidence they found for each question. Meeting Students Needs The difficulty of the vocabulary in That Book Woman may require greater teacher involvement in the vocabulary card and Quiz-Quiz- Trade activities. See the Dialect Glossary in Lesson 10 Supporting Materials. In Supporting Materials there is an alternate version of the text dependent questions that has the answers partially formed. Some students may need to be directed to the specific excerpts where the evidence can be found. Do this in a private way, offering them a whispered hint. For students needing support, consider providing examples and non-examples of evidence to see if they can recognize relevant evidence. CCI Enhanced Module (Williamsville Central Schools) February

8 Continued Close Reading of That Book Woman: Text-Dependent Questions and Vocabulary Work Time (continued) C. Text-Dependent Questions: Writing the Answers (15 minutes) Gather students back together as a group. Review how to write answers to questions using a full sentence. The first half of the sentence is pulled directly from the question. The second half of the sentence is the evidence found in the text. Model this as necessary. Students can work in proximity with a partner, though they should work on answering the questions independently. Circulate and support students with writing answers in complete sentences. As students work, identify 1-2 answers from students work to share as a model. After 12 minutes, if time allows, share 1-2 model answers so students can gauge the correctness of the work they just completed. D. Vocabulary : Part 2 (8 minutes) Tell students they are going to play a quick game of Quiz-Quiz-Trade. Students will use the prepared cards in Supporting Materials. See the teaching note at the beginning of the lesson. Each student will have three cards. Give students 2 minutes to review their cards. Explain the steps of the game. To begin, you will say Quiz. Partner 1 will then show Partner 2 the sentence side of their card. Partner 2 will read the sentence, focusing on the word or phrase in bold print. Partner 2 will then tell Partner 1 what they think the meaning of the bold word or phrase is. When you say Quiz a second time, the partners will switch roles. When you say Trade each partner will trade partners with another nearby partnership. Play continues as you say the words Quiz, Quiz, Trade. If desired, review the process of the game by modeling with one or two students. Meeting Students Needs ELLs benefit greatly on being able to see numbered steps for any lesson task like answering text dependent questions. See Lesson 3. In Supporting Materials there is an alternate version of the text dependent questions that has the answers partially formed. Note: This part of the lesson is optional. Quiz-Quiz-Trade is a vocabulary protocol used at points within the modules. It is an engaging and worthwhile activity and can be used with any set of words or terms. Consider its use in other places, both in and out of the modules. CCI Enhanced Module (Williamsville Central Schools) February

9 Continued Close Reading of That Book Woman: Text-Dependent Questions and Vocabulary Closing and Assessment A. Debrief: Learning Target Check (2 minutes) Post the learning targets again. Go through each one, asking students to engage in a quick target check using the Fist-to- Five check for understanding. Note: In Lesson 3 Supporting Materials is a set of Fist-to-Five Vocabulary Self-Reflection cards. Consider having these color cards on permanent display. Meeting Students Needs In this use, Fist-to-Five is a method being used to show success with the learning targets. Students can quickly show their thinking by holding up a closed fist for 0, indicating a lack of success up to holding up all fingers for 5, indicating full success. Homework Meeting Students Needs Use the vocabulary matching cards to reinforce the unique vocabulary of That Book Woman. CCI Enhanced Module (Williamsville Central Schools) February
