6. The Wizard of Oz Use details and evidence to support your answers!  What motivates Dorothy?  What role do the red shoes play?  What element of the human psyche does the lion represent?  What is the climax of the story?  How many settings are there in the story?  Is it real or is it a dream?  What is the theme?

7. EVERY LITTLE HURRICANE ~Sherman Alexie Although it was winter, the nearest ocean four hundred miles away, and the Tribal Weatherman asleep because of-boredom, a hurricane dropped from the sky in 1976 and fell so hard on the Spokane Indian Reservation that it knocked Victor from bed and his latest nightmare. Where and when does the story take place? What time of year is it? Why are the tribal weathermen asleep because of boredom? What happens in this first sentence? What do we learn about Victor in this first sentence? EngageNY.org7

8. Pre-CCSS Questions What weather words and phrases does the author use? Alexie uses the paradox of fighting at a party, two seemingly incompatible events that nonetheless occur. What other examples of paradox appear in the story, and why might that be? Which character to you most resemble? Why? How does the author use one or more major metaphors (storms, water, drowning)? Write a brief summary of the text, its relationship to events, and its use of symbolism and paradox to illustrate it major theme. EngageNY.org8

9. Reading Targets EngageNY.org9 CCSS goal: students leave the lesson having read, analyzed and understood what they have READ. Current goal: Students leave the lesson knowing the details of the narrative and the way a particular “element” is playing out.

10. Readers & Writers Workshop is still a viable literacy model if… Efficiency of time Text complexity for all (Frustration/ Productive Struggle is OK) Far greater emphasis on writing from sources than narrative Primacy of text based evidence Deliberate skills instruction (Lisa Delpit was right!) Frequent opportunities for students to learn and reinforce the spelling/sound patterns necessary for proficient decoding in early grades Frequent opportunities for oral comprehension, rich language experiences, background knowledge to keep students’ comprehension progressing Frequent exposures to coherent texts which are connected to the primary materials. Exposure to varied, spiraled, and sophisticated syntax, content knowledge, and vocabulary. Leveled text structure does not prohibit domain specific acceleration EngageNY.org10
