2 by Ella Powell Build Background Help children think about life today and how it might be different from life long ago. Build interest by asking questions such as the following: Cómo creen que eran las escuelas hace mucho mucho tiempo? Read the title and author and talk about the cover illustration. Tell children that this book is informational text, so it will give factual information about schools in the past. Introduce the Text Guide children 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: Explain that this is a book that gives information about what school was like for some children long ago. It tells about schools thousands of years ago, in a city called Athens, in ancient Greece. Suggested language: Vayan a la página 3. Las primeras dos oraciones dicen: Hoy te despertaste y fuiste a la escuela. Los niños de antes también iban a la escuela. Qué está pasando en la ilustración? Es una imagen actual o de hace mucho tiempo? Cómo lo saben? Page 4: Explain that the illustration shows a map of ancient Greece. Antiguo significa muy viejo. Observen hacia dónde apunta la flecha. Esta es la ciudad de Atenas. Atenas era una comunidad de la antigua Grecia. Cómo se llama su comunidad? Page 5: Read the last sentence on the page: Atenas ayudó a formar nuestra cultura. Muchas de nuestras ideas, música, libros e incluso nuestro alfabeto tienen su origen en Atenas. La historia, las leyes y la poesía también son parte de la cultura. Page 8: Draw attention to the illustration. Qué creen que es esto? Alguna de las letras les resulta familiar? Cuáles reconocen? Page 11: Direct children s attention to the illustration. Qué están haciendo estos estudiantes? Si quieren una pista, miren lo que tienen en la mano. La música era una materia importante en la escuela. Qué materias importantes hay en nuestra escuela? Ahora vuelvan al comienzo del libro y lean para descubrir las similitudes y diferencias entre las escuelas de la antigua Atenas y nuestra escuela. Target Vocabulary clase cosas que se aprenden o se enseñan, p. 6 comunidad grupo de personas que vive en la misma área, p. 4 cultura forma de vida de un pueblo, p. 5 especial algo diferente a todo lo demás, p. 13 idioma manera de hablar y escribir de las personas, p. 8 materia tema de estudio, como ciencias y música, p. 11 transporte una forma de mover personas o cosas de un lugar a otro, p. 7 usar ponerse algo sobre el cuerpo, p. 7 2

3 Read Have children read silently while you listen to individual children read. Support their problem solving and fluency as needed. Remind children to use the Analyze/Evaluate Strategy feel about the text, and why. and tell how they Discuss and Revisit the Text Personal Response Invite children to share their personal responses to the book. Suggested language: Creen que les gustaría la escuela en Atenas? Expliquen su respuesta. Ways of Thinking As you discuss the text, help children understand these points: Thinking Within the Text Thinking Beyond the Text Thinking About the Text Athens had schools long ago. The schools differed from ours: boys only, different clothes, everyone walked, wax tablets instead of paper and pencils. The schools were like ours, too: teachers, homework, and subjects like language, music, sports, poetry. Schools are important in all places and times, and they have not changed much. Children need to go to school to understand their culture. Today we believe girls should have the chance to go to school, too Fountas, I.C. & Pinnell, G.S. Teaching for Comprehending and Fluency, Heinemann, Portsmouth, N.H. The author includes many details about school and learning in ancient times. The illustrations help to show what real children of long ago did. The introduction and conclusion focus on comparing schools of the past and present, and stress the idea that some things were the same and some were different. Choices for Further Support Fluency Invite children to choose a passage from the text to read orally. Challenge them to do their best to quickly and automatically solve most words in the text in order to make their reading smooth and natural. Comprehension Based on your observations of the children s reading and discussion, revisit parts of the text to clarify or extend comprehension. Remind children 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 children that s or es at the end of a word changes it to mean more than one. The words importantes, escritores, and ideas on page 11 are examples. Have children search the text for singular nouns and change them to plural, and for plural nouns and change them to singular. 3

4 Writing about Reading Critical Thinking Have children complete the questions on Hoja reproducible Responding Have children complete the activities at the back of the book. Use the instruction below as needed to reinforce or extend understanding of the comprehension skill. Target Comprehension Skill Author s Purpose Remind children that looking at details in a text will help them figure out the author s purpose, or reason for writing. Model the skill, using a Think Aloud like the one below: Think Aloud La autora dice que los estudiantes estudiaban el alfabeto griego. Incluye detalles como que los estudiantes aprendían poemas históricos y aprendían a tocar instrumentos como la flauta y el arpa. Creo que la autora incluyó todos estos detalles porque su propósito era enseñar a los estudiantes las cosas que los estudiantes hacían en las escuelas antiguas. Practice the Skill Have children write one sentence telling why they think the author included the map with labels on page 4. Writing Prompt: Thinking Beyond the Text Have children write a response to the prompt on page 6. Remind them that when they think beyond the text, they use what they know and their own experience to think about what happens in the text. Assessment Prompts What sentence on page 4 helps the reader understand the meaning of the word comunidad? Complete this sentence in your own words: This selection is mostly about. 4
