Quién me ayuda a aprender? Quién ayuda a cuidarme? Have children choose their favorite community helpers and draw pictures of them.

If possible, invite a helper from your own community to visit the classroom and talk to children about ways he or she helps others. COMPREHENSION: Understand Author s Purpose Explain that authors write for many reasons. Sometimes an author wants to entertain; other times, he or she wants to inform or persuade. Tell children that understanding the author s purpose, or reason for writing, helps them know what to expect when they read a book. Discuss with children why they think the author wrote Dar una mano. Reread the question on page 2, and model how to think about the author s purpose: La autora comienza el libro preguntando por qué deberías dar una mano. El resto del libro responde la pregunta dando razones sobre por qué deberías dar una mano. La autora trata de que el lector crea que es bueno dar una mano. Encourage children to examine other favorite classroom texts and pinpoint the author s purpose for writing. WRITING Write a Persuasive Text Have children use what they have learned about persuasive text to write a class book persuading people to behave in a certain way (share things, tell the truth, be polite, and so on). Choose a topic with the class. Help them formulate an opinion, either in a statement (Deberías.) or a question, as in Dar una mano ( Por qué deberías? ). Record the opinion on a sheet of chart paper. Brainstorm with children reasons that support the opinion. Record each reason on an individual sheet of chart paper. Have partners or small groups work together to illustrate each supporting reason. As a class, write a conclusion. The conclusion can take the form of a question: Cómo? Assemble the pages of the book. Create a cover, and bind the pages together. If possible, arrange for children to read the book to another class.
