Animal+Skeletons

Day 1
LT: I can ask questions and look for answers as I read.


 * 1) Look at LT. Today we are going to start a book about animal skeletons. Take a look at the cover and flip through the pages and make some predictions.
 * 2) Now let's look at our LT again. We are going to ask some questions, and then see if we can find some answers while we read. For example, I saw that we are going to read about human skeletons and animal skeletons. I wonder what kinds of bones there are in my body. I'll write that down. What do you wonder? Take a few ideas.
 * 3) Preview:
 * 4) p. 3 support: bones give your body support. What does that mean?
 * 5) p. 4 pelvis, shoulder blades
 * 6) Read to p. 6 As you read, see if you find answers to any of the questions we asked.
 * 7) Stop, share answers, list some more questions.
 * 8) Share any tricky words people got stuck on.

Day 2

 * 1) Review what you learned on pages 1-6 yesterday. What are some bones humans have?
 * 2) Look back at questions we asked yesterday -- have we found any answers?
 * 3) New questions to add?
 * 4) p. 8: hollow
 * 5) p. 14 rib cage
 * 6) Remind to visualize as they read. Model doing it on p. 4.
 * 7) Send to read.
 * 8) Go over what they learned about the bones of each kind of animal. Turn and talk first, then share and list.
