Big Book, Beetles: Read Aloud, stopping during second read or re-read to pose and elicit questions, generate answers, refer to additional resources.
Graph About Beetle Drawings from Day 1: Students and teacher will discuss and develop a graph for which drawings most resembled realistic beetles and which resembled fantasy or creative drawings. Ask students to give reasons/justify why their drawing might be considered for either category.
KWL Chart - Day 2- Column 2: Students work in pairs to develop questions about what they still want to learn about beetles. Emphasize the use of questioning words, e.g., who, what, where, when, why, how. (L.K.1d, f)
Pairs will share their questions as teacher records on the chart. (This is in lieu of the writing activity for Day 3 TE, 2121).
