Opening/Warmup/Connecting Prior Knowledge
A. Engaging the Reader (10 minutes)
• Gather students in a circle. Direct their attention to the Close Read recording form for Rain School from the previous lesson.
• Remind students about the simple Think-Pair-Share process they practiced yesterday: They get time to first think on their own and then talk with a partner. Then as a group, some students will share their own thinking or something smart their partner said or asked.
• Ask: “What were some important details in the story Rain School we read yesterday?” Have students Think-Pair-Share.
• Repeat the Think-Pair-Share with a second question: “What did we do as readers to help us understand this story better?”
• After students have shared, transition, focusing students on the learning targets for this lesson. Invite a student to read aloud the learning target: “I can answer questions using details from Rain School.” Ask students to think about that learning target. Circle the word questions and the phrase details from the text. Discuss as a group how these two parts of the learning target might be connected.
