Unit 1: Reading Literary Texts: Overcoming Learning Challenges—School and Education Common Core State Standards addressed: RL.3.1, RL.3.2, RL.3.3, RL.3.4, RL.3.10, SL.3.1a, SL.3.1b, SL.3.1c, SL.3.3, SL.3.6, and L.3.4 

Guiding Questions and Big Ideas 
■ Why are education, books, and reading important? 
■ Education, books, and reading are important because they help us learn about and make sense of the world, and escape into the lives of other people and other worlds. 
Please note: The guiding question and big idea are framed in the context that education, books, and reading are important for college and career readiness. 

What will your student be doing at school? 
In this unit, students read literary texts about children who face challenges with access to school and education and how they overcome those challenges. 

As a class, they read Waiting for the Biblioburro by Monica Brown, Rain School by James Rumford, and Nasreen’s Secret School by Jeanette Winter to analyze the challenges the main characters face with access to school and education and how those challenges are overcome. They determine the central message or lesson of each story and how it is conveyed through details in the text. 

Working to become an ethical person is a habit of character that is emphasized in this unit. These are the specific effective learning skills students will focus on: 
■ I show empathy. This means I understand and I share or take into account the feelings, situation, or attitude of others. 
■ I behave with integrity. This means I am honest and do the right thing, even when it’s difficult, because it is the right thing to do. 
■ I show respect. This means I appreciate the abilities, qualities, and achievements of others and treat myself, others, and the environment with care. 
■ I show compassion. This means I notice when others are sad or upset and try to help them.

Module 4
Guiding Questions and Big Ideas Why are the world’s freshwater sources threatened?

What will your student be doing at school? In Unit 1, students read carefully selected pages from the anchor text, One Well: The Story of Water on Earth to build background knowledge about where freshwater comes from and about the three issues that the book describes: access to water, demands on water, and water pollution. Students begin by hearing pages of the book read aloud to determine the main ideas and supporting details of a read-aloud. They also reread the pages to analyze the illustrations and answer vocabulary and text-dependent questions. For the mid-unit assessment, students listen to new pages of One Well read aloud to determine the main idea and supporting details before rereading the text to answer text-dependent questions. In the second half of the unit, students read pages of One Well paired with additional complex informational texts to compare the main ideas and supporting details of both texts. For the end of unit assessment, students read a new informational text to determine the main ideas and supporting details before comparing it to pages of One Well. Working to become an effective learner is a habit of character that is emphasized in this unit. Students take responsibility for identifying habits of character they feel will best serve them in the work they do. The Language standards that students will focus on in this unit require them to: ■ L.3.1a: Explain the function of nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs in general and their functions in particular sentences.

Consider using the following independent reading prompts*: • What is the main idea of the text? What are some of the key details, and how do they support the main idea? • What do the illustrations (photographs, maps) tell you? How do they help you to understand the words? • What questions do you now have after reading? What would you like to learn more about? Why? • What are the most important facts you learned from reading? • What is the most interesting fact you learned today? Why? • How does what you read today connect to something you have learned in lessons? • Choose one new word from your reading today and analyze it on a vocabulary square:

How can you support your student at home? ■ Watch video PSAs online (a Google search will yield many examples; however, review before watching with students to ensure appropriate content) and discuss the target audience and why they are/aren’t effective. ■ Research and discuss water issues, particularly local water issues. ■ Consider measuring how much water is being used at home. For example: http://environment.nationalgeographic.com/environment/freshwater/change-the-course/ water-footprint-calculator/ ■ Practice identifying parts of speech in a text, e.g., identifying a noun in a text and then describing the function of that particular noun.

Consider using the following independent reading prompts*: • What is the main idea of the text? What are some of the key details, and how do they support the main idea? • What do the illustrations (photographs, maps) tell you? How do they help you understand the words? • What questions do you now have after reading? What would you like to learn more about? Why? • What does the text tell you about the importance of water? • What are the most important facts you learned from reading? • What is the most interesting fact you learned today? Why? • How does what you read today connect to something you have learned in lessons? • Choose one new word from your reading today and analyze it on a vocabulary square:

Module 3
How do writers capture a reader’s imagination? ■ Authors show, not tell, how a character feels through dialogue and description. ■ Authors choose words and phrases for effect to help readers imagine they are in the story. What can we learn from reading literary classics? ■ Literary classics are told in different ways over time. ■ Literary classics can show how things have changed since the time they were written. What will your student be doing at school? In Unit 3, students revise a scene from Peter Pan and then prepare a presentation explaining how and why they revised that scene. After selecting a scene to revise, they map out the original scene on a Narrative Planning graphic organizer. They then determine which parts of the scene to revise that won’t change the outcome. Students then draft their revised scene before revising dialogue and description, possessives, word and phrase choice, and temporal words and phrases. For the mid-unit assessment, students revise a new scene from Peter Pan, following a completed narrative planning organizer. In the second half of the unit, students prepare a presentation explaining how and why they chose to revise their scene. They prepare prompt cards for their presentation and practice using the cards to present. Students also practice reading new excerpts of text aloud for fluency, in preparation for reading their revised scene aloud in the performance task presentation, and also in preparation for the end of unit assessment, during which they read a new text aloud for fluency. For the performance task, students deliver their presentations for an audience. The Language standards that students will focus on in this unit (L.3.2a, L.3.2c, L.3.2d, L.3.3a) require them to: ■ Capitalize appropriate words in titles ■ Use commas and quotation marks in dialogue ■ Form and use possessives Working to become an effective learner is a habit of character that is emphasized in this unit. Students practice collaboration as they work with others to plan their revised scenes, and perseverance as they write their drafts and read unfamiliar texts.
Students are provided with the following guidance for capitalizing words in titles: ■ Capitalize the first word of the title. ■ Capitalize all “major” words (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and pronouns). ■ Capitalize the second part of hyphenated major words (for example, Self-Report, not Self-report). ■ Capitalize all words of four letters or more. Writing Dialogue L.3.2d Students are provided with the following guidance for writing dialogue: ■ Quotation marks around the actual words the characters said ■ Comma at the end of speech when the narrator is going to finish the sentence ■ Comma before speech to show speech is coming
How can you support your student at home? ■ Talk to your student about the texts he or she is reading in the classroom, particularly if any of the topics raised might be sensitive for your child. ■ Read narrative texts and talk to your student about how the author has shown rather than told character feelings through dialogue and description of their thoughts and actions, and also about the words and phrases the author has used for effect. ■ Read literary classics and stories, including those from home countries. Talk to your student about how things have changed since they were written and what this tells us about how things were then.
Unit 3: Homework In this unit, homework for Lessons 1–7 focuses on practicing language skills. Lessons 8–10 focus on practicing reading aloud fluently and presentation practice. Research reading: Your student is expected to independently research the topic by reading topic-related books of his or her choice for approximately 20 minutes each day and responding to a prompt of choice in the front of the independent reading journal. These are usually books your student will bring home from school; however, they may be topic-related books chosen by the student at the public or home library. Prompts for independent reading can be found in the homework materials provided. Exploring Literary Classics Unit 3: Homework Choice reading: If your student would also like to independently read and respond to a book of free choice, he or she may use the back of the independent reading journal. Prompts for independent reading can be found in the homework materials provided.
Vocabulary logs: ■ In the front, students record new academic vocabulary, or words you might find in informational texts on many different topics.

Reading Homework resources for Q3
Guiding questions:
How do writers capture a reader’s imagination? ■ Authors show—not—tell how a character feels through dialogue and description. ■ Authors choose words and phrases for effect to help readers imagine they are in the story. What can we learn from reading literary classics? ■ Literary classics are told in different ways over time. ■ Literary classics can show how things have changed since the time they were written.

What will your student be doing at school? In this unit, students begin reading a retold version of the literary classic Peter Pan1 *to build their understanding of how the historical context of a literary classic can have an impact on the content and also to analyze how writers develop characters to capture a reader’s imagination. In the first half of the unit, students read an informational text to build background knowledge about the author, J.M. Barrie, and some of the relevant aspects of society in Great Britain at the time the novel was written. Students then focus on analyzing how the events in each chapter build on what came before, and they consider how the illustrations in the first four chapters of Peter Pan contribute to the meaning of the text. After reading each chapter, students make connections between the historical context and the content of the chapter.
How can you support your student at home? ■ Talk to your student about the guiding questions, particularly if any of the topics raised might be sensitive for your student. ■ Talk to your student about the texts he or she is reading in the classroom, particularly if any of the topics raised might be sensitive for your student. ■ Read narrative texts and talk to your student about how the author has developed the characters by analyzing the traits, actions, and point of view of the characters and comparing the point of view of the characters to the point of view of the reader. Consider asking: “What did you think and feel as you were reading?” “Do you agree with his point of view? Why/why not?” ■ Read narrative chapter texts and talk to your student about how each chapter builds on the events in the previous chapters. ■ Read literary classics and stories, including those from home countries. Talk to your student about how things have changed since they were written and what this tells us about how things were then.

Consider using the following independent reading prompts*: • What is the main idea of the text? What are some of the key details, and how do they support the main idea? • What do the illustrations (photographs, maps) tell you? How do they help you to understand the words? • What questions do you now have after reading? What would you like to learn more about? Why? • What are the most important facts you learned from reading? • What is the most interesting fact you learned today? Why? • How does what you read today connect to something you have learned in lessons? • Choose one new word from your reading today and analyze it on a vocabulary square:

What will your child be doing at school? In this unit, students build background knowledge about frogs. They closely read excerpts of a complex text to answer several research questions. They write informational paragraphs answering these questions. When reading, students use text features to find information about a topic, look at connections between sentences and paragraphs in an excerpt of text, and analyze illustrations to further their understanding of a text. The Language standards that students will be focusing on in this unit (L.3.1d, L.3.1e) require them to: Form and use regular and irregular verbs in the present tense.

How can you support your child at home? ■ Talk to your child about the frogs he or she is studying and what makes them unique. ■ Talk to your child about his or her informative text and the elements of an effective informative text. ■ Choose sentences or paragraphs in an excerpt of text and invite your child to tell you about the connections he or she can identify. ■ Read narrative and informational books about frogs. ■ Watch television documentaries about frogs.

Homework: Freaky Frog Discussion Consider discussing the following questions to prompt conversation: • Where do amphibians live? • What are some differences between amphibians and reptiles? • What makes amphibians unique? • How is water necessary for amphibians to survive?

Research reading: Your child is expected to independently research the topic by reading topic-related books of his/her choice for approximately 20 minutes each day and responding to a prompt of choice in the front of the independent reading journal. These are usually books your child will bring home from school; however, they may be topic-related books chosen by the child at the public or home library. Prompts for independent reading can be found in the homework materials provided.

Choice reading: If your child would also like to independently read and respond to a book of free choice, he/she may use the back of the independent reading journal. Prompts for independent reading can be found in the homework materials provided.
