Birds'+Nests

Day 1
LT: I can infer what words mean from the context.
 * 1) This is a new non-fiction book about birds and their nests. What do you know about birds and their nests?
 * 2) Preview pictures and see if you think of other things you know or predict. Where do birds make their nests? Make a list.
 * 3) Look at p. 5 and preview "emperor penguin" and "Adelie penguin"
 * 4) One thing that happens when you read non-fiction is that you sometimes find words you don't know. After you figure out what they are by breaking it into its syllables, you sometimes have to infer what it means. Let's try it on page 2: "reeds" -- use pictures to figure it out.
 * 5) Review -ow -- you'll need to use this pattern to figure out some words in this book
 * 6) As you read, if you find a word you don't know and you can infer what it means, write it on a post-it so we can share them at the end
 * 7) burrows, hollow, swallow -- make a list of words they didn't know and clues they used to figure them out.
