Lesson – 15-20min
1. Review the activity from the previous day. Review how it is important to know what you are looking for in an informational text before you begin reading.
2. The lesson for the day will follow the same steps as the previous day, but instead of writing the answers on chart paper, students will write answers to two or three questions on their All About Worksheet. (This may be a good activity to do in partners for the first day or two and then on their own on the third day. Or have the student answer one questions and then increase to two or three the next day.)
Student Activity - 30 min
1. After the Read Aloud have students share some of the answers to the questions in the book. Model answering one question by putting it in a complete sentence. Write this model answer on the chart paper.
o (DAY 10) In partners, students will write the answer to one question on the All About Worksheet. Students who get done early can use the next space to write another answer.
o (Day 11) Independently, students will write the answers to two or three questions listed on the chart paper.
2. In the three large squares, students can either make a picture of their answer or write the question number in the square.
3. When done students may share the drawling and answers with the class.
