2 Maravillosos mamíferos marinos by John Stewart Build Background Help students use their knowledge about marine mammals to visualize the text. Build interest by asking a question such as the following: A qué mamíferos marinos te gustaría ver en su hábitat natural? Explain that the text focuses on two marine mammals: manatees and sea otters. Read the title and author and talk about the cover photograph. Note the two chapter heads. Tell students that this selection is informational text, so the text is factual. Introduce the Text Guide students through the text, noting important ideas, and helping with unfamiliar language and vocabulary so they can read the text successfully. Here are some suggestions: Page 3: Have students locate and read the sentence on manatees with the highlighted word in the last paragraph: A veces, los puedes ver deleitarse en las aguas poco profundas de un río. Ask: Cómo pueden darse cuenta si un manatí se está deleitando? Page 4: Look at the photograph on page 4. Explain that manatees are nicknamed vacas marinas. Ask: Vaca marina les parece un apodo apropiado para un manatí? Por que sí? Por qué no? Page 5: Direct students to the highlighted term. Suggested language: El texto dice que reemplazar los dientes no es un trauma para un manatí, porque los dientes de atrás crecen constantemente. Page 8: Have students look at the photograph and read the caption. Ask: De qué manera le puede servir a la nutria tener un pelaje muy grueso? Page 14: El texto dice que los derrames de petróleo pueden ser mortales para las nutrias. Ask: Qué efecto creen que puede tener el derrame de petróleo en la piel de la nutria? Por qué tener el cuerpo lleno de petróleo puede ser un problema para las nutrias? Ahora, vuelvan al comienzo del libro y lean para descubrir más información sobre los manatíes y las nutrias, y la manera de protegerlos. Target Vocabulary analizar examinar en detalle, p. 13 aturdido confundido, p. 14 deleitarse disfrutar, p. 3 intensivo que requiere concentración, p. 12 joven de poca edad, p. 9 marino relacionado con el mar, p. 3 mortal que causa la muerte, p. 14 tratar cuidar algo, intentar mejorarlo, p. 7 trauma una experiencia difícil y dolorosa, p. 5 vocación una tarea o profesión que se realiza con entusiasmo, p. 9 2

3 Read Have students read silently while you listen to individual students read aloud. Support their problem solving and fluency as needed. Remind students to use the Question Strategy and to think of questions that will clarify how manatees and sea otters can be protected. Discuss and Revisit the Text Personal Response Invite students to share their personal responses to the book. Suggested language: Qué aprendieron sobre los manatíes y las nutrias que no sabían antes? Por qué es importante que el ser humano entienda a estos animales marinos en peligro de extinción para poder salvarlos en el futuro? Ways of Thinking As you discuss the text, help students understand these points: Thinking Within the Text Thinking Beyond the Text Thinking About the Text With only a few thousand manatees left in the wild, it is critical that humans become sea otters and manatees ally instead of their enemy, so they don t vanish. As the sea otter population slowly increases, humans need to ensure that their environment remains pristine so they continue to survive. If people continue harming the marine ecosystem, it will have serious consequences for all marine mammals. There are actions everyone can do to prevent this from occurring. People can contact their elected officials to speak out for manatees and sea otters and the environment Fountas, I.C. & Pinnell, G.S. Teaching for Comprehending and Fluency, Heinemann, Portsmouth, N.H. The vivid photographs enhance the text. The conversational style of the text is inviting and not scientifically overwhelming. The author includes fascinating details about manatees and sea otters to attract and hold readers interest. Choices for Further Support Fluency Invite students to choose a two-page spread from the text to read aloud. Remind them to pay attention to punctuation, including information given in parentheses, and to stress important words in the text. Comprehension Based on your observations of the students reading and discussion, revisit parts of the text to clarify or extend comprehension. Remind students to go back to the text to support their ideas. Phonics/Word Work Provide practice as needed with words and word parts, using examples from the text. Remind students that the suffi x -ción is used to make nouns. For example, the word extinción is made up of the verb extinguir and the suffi x -ción. Have students identify other examples in the text. 3

4 Writing about Reading Critical Thinking Have students complete the questions on Hoja reproducible 6.6. Responding Have students complete the activities at the back of the book, using their Cuaderno del lector. Use the instruction below as needed to reinforce or extend understanding of the comprehension skill. Target Comprehension Skill Cause and Effect Remind students that they can determine the cause by asking the question Why did it happen? They can determine the effect by asking the question What happened? Tell them to note cause-and-effect signal words such as because, so, and since. Model how to add details to the Graphic Organizer, using a Think Aloud like the one below: Think Aloud El derrame de petróleo pone en peligro a nutrias y manatíes. Escriban derrame de petróleo como una causa. El efecto que produce el derrame de petróleo es la muerte de las nutrias y los manatíes. Practice the Skill Encourage students to share their examples of another book that illustrates cause and effect through endangered animals and what is being done to save them. Writing Prompt: Thinking Beyond the Text Have students write a response to the writing prompt on page 6. Remind them that when they think beyond the text, they use their personal knowledge to reach new understanding. Assessment Prompts What is the meaning of the term jóvenes on page 9? Which sentences on pages 10 and 11 support the idea that sea otters are creative and intelligent? How does the author persuade readers to care about the future for manatees and sea otters? 4

Como mastica tanto la comida, los molares, o dientes del frente, se gastan rápido. Pero no es un trauma reemplazarlos. Los dientes de atrás de cada lado de la quijada crecen continuamente. Cuando los molares del frente ya no funcionan, se caen y los otros molares se mueven al frente, marchando a su nuevo lugar. Un nuevo molar comienza a crecer en el agujero que quedó atrás. 6 Los manatíes tienen la cabeza grande y los ojos pequeños. No ven muy bien bajo el agua.
