Before: 1. Turn and Talk (this practice should be established as a common classroom practice for speaking and listening standards). If not, students will need to be paired off with a partner for discussion throughout the lesson.
2. Before moving on to tell the objective for today's lesson, be sure to discuss responses from Turn and Talk questions. Make a connection from the responses to Ruby, our character for today's learning. Today, we will read a story about a special little girl. We will talk about why the author wrote this story. This is called the author's purpose for writing the words in a story. An author writes a story for three reasons, and we can think of a P.I.E. to remind us. The author writes to Persuade a reader of a topic, to Inform the reader of a topic, or to Entertain a reader.
3. During your partner talk, you stated that you would feel upset, angry, sad, or that it wasn't fair. Let's introduce a few words that will be important to know and remember as we read "Ruby Bridges." 1. Segregation- when black and white children cannot go places together (have a text connection conversation using this vocabulary word...What other stories can you remember where children or people were not allowed to do things together?) 2. Marshal- a policeman (ask students why would a marshal be a character in our story; show the cover of the trade book and ask the students to identify the marshal) 3. Brave- not scared of anything (ask students to think of a time they had to be brave) Assessment Listen while students turn and talk Listen during student engagement responses During: 4. Describing Character Chart (this chart can simply be a big sheet of butcher paper or a sheet of chart paper)
Assessment Observe student discussions Ensure accuracy during discussion and provide immediate feedback when necessary After: 5. Graphic Organizer (attachment)
6. Students will draw a picture of Ruby Bridges and write one reason the author wanted to inform us about her. Students' answers should come from adjectives used to complete the character chart posted in front of the room. Assessment: Collect the graphic organizers Assess the author's purpose for writing the book |
