3 Day One Introduce the Book Display the book Bringing Back the Whooping Crane on an easel. Show students the book cover. Read aloud the title and the authors names. Invite students to identify and discuss what they see in the cover photograph. Ask: What do you predict this book will be about? Is this book fiction or nonfiction? How do you know? Allow responses. If necessary, point out that this is a nonfiction book. Explain that the photograph of a real whooping crane provides one clue that readers can use to predict the genre and topic of the book. Turn to the Table of Contents. Read the entries with students. Ask: Why do you think this book has a Table of Contents? Allow responses. Guide students to understand that the Table of Contents helps readers know how the information in a book is organized and what they can find out by reading the book. Ask: What would I read about in Cranes in Danger? Where would I read about how to save whooping cranes? Front-Load Academic Vocabulary Open to the Glossary on page 20. Point to each word, read the definition, and use the word in a sentence. If you have students whose first language is Spanish, ask: Does habitat sound like a word you know in Spanish? (Allow responses.) The English word habitat sounds like the Spanish word el hábitat. Habitat and el hábitat mean the same thing. Repeat for other cognates in the book: migrate/migrar; species/las especies. Ask students to predict what each word means and use each word in a sentence. Make Content Comprehensible for ELLs Beginning and Intermediate Use realia and images from the book to discuss whooping cranes. Point to the images on the cover and Table of Contents and say: This bird is a whooping crane. A whooping crane is. (white, big, tall) It has. (wings, a long neck, black legs) It can.

Read Pages 2 3 Content Comprehension: Ask Questions/Identify & Supporting 20 Glossary, page 20 BLM 2 Name Date Vocabulary Notebook My word to think about is. Read aloud pages 2 3 to students. Display or print an Identify and Supporting graphic organizer (BLM 3). Explain. Say: A nonfiction book provides information. How can you make sure that you understand the information? As you read, you can think about the important ideas. The most important ideas are called the main ideas. Sometimes main ideas are stated right in the text. You can usually tell what the main ideas are by thinking about details, or facts, that you read. The details tell about, or support, the main ideas. Activate metacognitive strategies. Say: Good readers ask themselves questions to help them understand main ideas and details. Asking questions helps them focus on what information is most important. Let s read page 2 again. I ll ask myself questions that help me identify the main idea and supporting details Benchmark Education Company, LLC Vocabulary Notebook (BLM 2) Model. Say: The title of this chapter is Now You See Them. When I read the title, I ask myself, What are the authors referring to? The first sentence reads, Have you ever seen a whooping crane? I ask myself that question, and my answer is the same as the next sentence: Probably not! When I read on, I learn some facts, or details. I learn that there are only a few hundred whooping cranes left, and 60 years ago, there were only about 20. Why are the authors giving me these details? They must want me to understand why I have not seen a whooping crane. I think that this is the main idea: You probably have not seen a whooping crane. The details support that main idea. I will use a graphic organizer to show the main idea and supporting details. Write the main idea and details on the graphic organizer. Save your graphic organizer to add to later Benchmark Education Company, LLC

7 Day Two Focus on Nonfiction Text Features: Maps Draw students attention to the map on page 8. Ask: What is a map? (Allow responses.) That s right! Maps are drawings that show the whole world or different parts of the world. Mapmakers use symbols to help readers understand maps. This map shows where whooping cranes go when they migrate south. Ask: Why do you think the authors included this map in their book? How does it help you as a reader? Allow responses. Students should understand that the map helps them visualize where in the world the whooping cranes go when they migrate south. Explain that sometimes a map includes information that text alone does not provide. Ask: When you look at this map, how can you tell where the whooping cranes fly? Allow responses. If necessary, explain that the red line shows the migration route. Point to the compass rose and discuss the directions. Ask: Where do the birds begin? In what direction do they fly? Where do they end? What do you think the birds will do in the spring? Connect and transfer. Say: Pay attention to maps when you find them in books you are reading. Ask yourself, What information are the maps giving me? How can the maps help me understand the main ideas and details I am reading about? Make Content Comprehensible for ELLs Beginning and Intermediate Say sentences or sentence frames for the photos on pages 6 9: This is a habitat. This is water. This is grass. This is a marsh.

Write their details on separate sentence strips. Work together to use the sentence strips to create a main idea and details graphic organizer Benchmark Education Company, LLC 7

8 Day Two Oral Language Extension During independent workstation time, pair students to discuss details that support this main idea: Whooping cranes are big birds. Suggest they use photos and the facts on page 3 for ideas. Tell students to be prepared to report on their conversation during individual conference time. Home/School Connection Have students draw a simple main idea and supporting details graphic organizer on notebook paper. There should be one box for the main idea and three boxes for supporting details. Have them write the following sentence in the main idea box: Many animals are endangered. Ask students to work alone or with a family member at home to write three complete sentences that support the main idea. Small-Group Reading Instruction (60 m i n u t e s) Based on students instructional reading levels, select titles that provide opportunities for students to practice identifying main ideas and details.

Based on your observations, identify students who need additional explicit reinforcement of the strategy during small-group reading instruction. Home/School Connection Have students take home the Vocabulary Notebook page (BLM 2) and focus on one of these words: captivity, endangered, species, or flock. Encourage students to share with a family member how the word relates to whooping cranes. Focus on Text Structure and Organization: Sequence of Events Explain to students that authors organize nonfiction texts in different ways depending on the type of information they are communicating. For example, sometimes an author wants to describe something. Other times, an author wants to tell about a problem and how it is solved. Say: The authors of this book want us to understand how the number of whooping cranes has changed over time. To do this, they need to write about events in the correct order. They use a sequence-of-events text structure. Begin a time line with facts from page 4. Have students find other facts from pages 5 13 to add to the time line. Point out signal language, such as the use of dates (By 1940, in 1970, by the early 1980s). Then discuss the sequence-ofevents structure in the photo diagram on page 13. Connect and transfer. Say: Remember, many nonfiction books have a sequence-of-events text structure. Look for this as you read. Pay attention to the signal language the author gives.
