Bilingual Reading – Grade 1

Unit of Study: Creating a Climate for Thinking (Cómo crear un ambiente para promover el pensamiento)

Second Grading Period Weeks 1- 5 CURRICULUM OVERVIEW

Big Idea / Unit Rationale
“When our vision of community expands to create a culture and climate for thinking – when rigor, inquiry, and intimacy become key components of our definition – it’s essential that we work first to build genuine relationships, establish mutual trust, and create working literate environments” (17). Miller, D. (2002). Reading with Meaning. Stenhouse Publishers, Markham, Ontario. / “Explicit instruction, modeling, reading high-quality literature and children’s writing, and giving children time to practice real reading and writing are the cornerstones of my teaching” (50). Miller, D. (2002). Reading with Meaning. Stenhouse Publishers, Markham, Ontario.

Comprehension Focus Lessons
15 Minutes
Note: On Mondays, a read aloud of a mentor text will be done during the comprehension focus lesson. Therefore, 10 minutes will be added to the focus lesson and an additional read aloud after small group/work station time will not take place.
Day 1: Introduce Comprehension Skill with a Read Aloud– Cause and Effect
(Teacher Toolkit: Teaching Comprehension; Thinking Aloud; Cause and Effect)
Focus: A cause is the reason something happens. An effect is what happens.
·  Before reading, pre-select two or three stopping points to model cause and effect. Place sticky notes on the pages you will be thinking aloud.
·  Read aloud Goldilocks and the Three Bears (Ricitos de oro y los tres osos) and model two or three think aloud strategies related to cause and effect.
·  Draw the following chart:
Causa
¿Por qué pasó? / Efecto
¿Qué pasó?
El tazón del Osito está vacío.
La silla del Osito está rota..
Ricitos de oro huyó.
·  Read each effect and guide students to think about the reason it happened (cause).
·  Add the cause.
Causa
¿Por qué pasó? / Efecto
¿Qué pasó?
Ricitos de oro se comió toda la avena. / El tazón del Osito está vacío.
Ricitos de oro estaba demasiado pesada. / La silla del Osito está rota..
Ella tenía miedo de los caballos. / Ricitos de oro huyó.
·  Explain that good readers think about cause and effect to help understand what happens and why it happens.
