Use information gained from the illustrations and words in a print or digital text to demonstrate understanding of its characters, setting, or plot. Introduce the text Gramps. Discuss the instrument on the cover. Ask students to share any experiences they have had with trumpets or other musical instruments. • Read pages 2–3 aloud to students. Ask volunteers to read sentences that tell why Gramps doesn’t play his trumpet anymore, and what Marissa needs. • Display pages 4–5 and ask students to describe what they see in the illustration. Ask: Who do you think these characters are? • Provide time for students to read the text on their own to find out if Gramps starts to play his trumpet again and if Marissa gets the money she needs. • Remind students to use the illustrations to help them read the text. • Circulate and observe how students are applying strategies. Does each student use sounds of words to help read the text; use context to help read words; understand the meaning of the text precisely? Phonics and Word Recognition 2.RF.3.3c. Decode regularly spelled two-syllable words with long vowels. 382 “Our learning goal is to decode two-syllable words.” Distribute magnetic letters to students. Write the words wheezing, cleaning, and playing on the board. Blend each word for students. Have volunteers blend and say the words after you. Clap the beats for each word as you say them. Ask: How many beats does each word have? How many syllables does each word have? How many vowel sounds do you hear in each word? Ask volunteers to circle the syllables in each word. © 2013 Wendy Pye Publishing Ltd Session 1 Gramps • Remind students that every syllable in a word has one vowel sound; two-syllable words contain two separate vowel sounds. Tell students that by using what they know about vowels and consonants, they can break apart words and figure out how to read them. • Students turn to a partner, and read aloud each syllable separately and then together. • Have them reread the text individually or with partners to locate more two-syllable words. Vocabulary Acquisition and Use 2.L.3.4a. Use sentence-level context as a clue to the meaning of a word or phrase. “Our learning goal is to use sentence-level context for multiple-meaning words.” 2.L.1.2a. Capitalize dates and names of people. “Our learning goal is to use capital letters and end punctuation.” 2.L.1.2b. Use end punctuation for sentences. Display page 10 of Gramps and ask a volunteer to find the word note. Talk about the meaning of the word in context. • Students think of another meaning for the word note. Together, make up a sentence using this meaning. • Repeat this procedure for the word break on page 10. Write U.S.A. on the board. Have students tell what this stands for. Explain that it’s an abbreviation, which means that it’s short for a word or various words, in this case United States of America. Ask: Do you know any more abbreviations? (e.g. Ave, St.) What are they short for? (Avenue, Street) • Ask students to scan Gramps to find abbreviations. (page 16: gym/gymnasium, Ms./Miss or Mrs, Mr./Mister) • Check students’ understanding of abbreviations and how they usually have a period after the last letter. Display page 23 and have students tell the abbreviations in the illustration. (Mr. B. Godfrey) • Students brainstorm more abbreviations, e.g. Dr./doctor. Independent Practice Students read the digital version of the text online. Intervention Instruction Sequence 2.RF.3.3c. Decode regularly spelled twosyllable words with long vowels. “Our learning goal is to decode two-syllable words.” Review the phonics lesson. • Students say and clap the beats of the following words from the text: money, echoed, waited, slowly. • Discuss the number of vowel sounds in each word and circle the syllables. Read each syllable separately and then read the word. • Continue this procedure with more two-syllable words containing the long vowel sounds. © 2013 Wendy Pye Publishing Ltd 383 Session 2 Gramps Comprehension 2.RF.4.4a. Read gradelevel text with purpose and understanding. “Our learning goal is to read text with purpose and understanding.” 2.L.1.1d. Form and use the past tense of frequently occurring irregular verbs (e.g., sat, hid, told). “Our learning goal is to identify and use the past tense of irregular verbs.” Lead students in a discussion about the similarities and differences between realistic stories and fantasies. Explain that both kinds of stories are made up, but a realistic story tells about something that could happen, whereas the events in a fantasy could not happen. • Have students name examples of realism and fantasy from stories they know or have read. List their ideas in a two-column chart. • Ask students to decide whether Gramps is a realistic story or a fantasy. Use questions such as the following to guide a class discussion. Ask: Could things in the story really happen? Do the characters in Gramps do and say things like people you know? What details from the story make you think so? Display page 3. Read the first paragraph and focus on the word made. Have students suggest what its present tense form might be. (make) • Support students in finding more verbs in the text that have an irregular past tense, not an -ed ending. (blew, held, found, got, forgot, shone, stood, began, took, ran, felt, knew, left, spent, bought, did) • Have them create a two-column chart with the present tense in one column and the past tense in the other. • Students take turns to make up sentences using these verbs in the past tense. Digital Activities 2.L.3.4a. Use sentence-level context as a clue to the meaning of a word or phrase. 384 “Our learning goal is use sentence-level context to help spell and write words from the text.” Students click on the Words activity online. They select five words at a time from 15 highlighted words in an excerpt from the text. They watch the demonstration, listen to the words in context and then spell them. © 2013 Wendy Pye Publishing Ltd Session 2 Gramps Independent Practice Students work on the online Words activity, Spelling Game, choosing a further five words. They repeat the activity as time permits. Intervention Instruction Sequence 2.L.1.1d. Form and use the past tense of frequently occurring irregular verbs (e.g., sat, hid, told). “Our learning goal is to identify and use the past tense of irregular verbs.” Review the comprehension lesson about how the past tense of irregular verbs does not end in -ed. • Display page 15. Read the last paragraph and focus on the word shook. Have students suggest what its present tense form might be. (shake) • Students continue to scan the text for verbs that form an irregular past tense. They continue to fill in the chart, and take turns to make up sentences using the verbs. © 2013 Wendy Pye Publishing Ltd 385 Session 3 Gramps Reread the Text for Fluency 2.RF.4.4b. Read gradelevel text orally with accuracy, appropriate rate, and expression. “Our learning goal is to read grade-level text orally with accuracy, appropriate rate, and expression.” Ask students to listen closely as you read page 18 aloud. Lead them in a discussion of the characteristics of fluent reading. Ask: When I read this text, what did I do that good readers do? Why did I do that? • As students discuss the features of fluent reading, list their ideas on the board. Compile them into a list for good readers. • Demonstrate each tip, and have students imitate your rate, volume, and intonation. • Ask students to turn to a partner and choose a favorite paragraph to read aloud. Remind them to follow the tips listed on the board as they read. 2.L.1.1b. Form and use frequently occurring irregular plural nouns (e.g., feet, children, teeth, mice, fish). “Our learning goal is to form and use irregular plural nouns.” Display page 22 of Gramps and ask students to find the word feet. Remind students that nouns can be singular or plural. To make a noun plural, we usually add s or es to the end. However, some nouns are irregular and the plural is made by changing the spelling of the word. The word feet is an irregular noun because the singular form is foot. • Have students tell what has changed to make foot into feet. • Students create a two-column chart with the headings Singular and Plural. • Read the room or look in other texts together to find other examples of words where the plural changes the spelling, e.g. man, person, tooth, child, woman, life. Students use the word in a sentence. Key Ideas and Details 2.RL.1.3. Describe how characters in a story respond to major events and challenges. 386 “Our learning goal is to describe how the characters responded to the challenges in the text.” Recall the story, and ask volunteers to read parts of the text that tell why Marissa needed to make money; what happened when Gramps played his trumpet outside the store; how much money Marissa and Gramps earned; what happened when Gramps showed up at school. • Use questions such as the following to guide a text discussion. How does Gramps feel about playing the trumpet at the beginning of the story? What details from the text make you think so? How does he feel at the end? What details make you think so? What made him change? © 2013 Wendy Pye Publishing Ltd Session 3 Gramps Independent Practice Students click on the Comprehension activity online to do the You Be a Newsreader activity to improve their fluency. They make choices to create a story. They read an unseen text based on Gramps on a teleprompter. The text contains information and vocabulary from the text. Intervention Instruction Sequence 2.L.1.1b. Form and use frequently occurring irregular plural nouns (e.g., feet, children, teeth, mice, fish). “Our learning goal is to form and use irregular plural nouns.” Review the lesson about plurals. Read the chart and add more examples of irregular plural nouns to it. • Ask students to choose two of these nouns and use the plural in sentences, e.g. goose, mouse, antenna. © 2013 Wendy Pye Publishing Ltd 387 Session 4 Gramps Read the Genre Selection 2.RL.2.4. Describe how words and phrases (e.g., regular beats, alliteration, rhymes, repeated lines) supply rhythm and meaning in a story, poem, or song. 2.RL.3.9. Compare and contrast two or more versions of the same story (e.g., Cinderella stories) by different authors or from different cultures. 2.L.3.5b. Distinguish shades of meaning among closely related verbs (e.g., toss, throw, hurl) and closely related adjectives (e.g., thin, slender, skinny, scrawny). “Our learning goal is to describe how rhyme supplies rhythm and meaning to a text and to compare the rap to this week’s text.” Display the genre selection “Grandpa Rap.” Explain that a rap is a rhyming poem that is usually read quickly as in hip hop or reggae music. • Read the rap to students and then reread it with them joining in. Ask: How is this text different from reading a narrative? In what way is this telling of Gramps and Melissa’s story different to Gramps, the narrative text? • Have students note that this form of rhyme is read differently. Read it without expression and have students comment on whether it sounded right or not. Ask: How do you read the rhymes? • Discuss repetition. Ask: How does repetition in this text support the meaning? Why are the words tap, snap, clap repeated so often? What is the main idea of the rhyme? How does the repetition of the words make the rhyme sound like a song? • Invite students to read the text altogether, emphasizing repeated phrases and the rhyme. “Our learning goal is to rate closely related verbs from the rap.” Ask students to rate the verbs in the rap for movement. Ask: Is a tap a larger movement than a snap? Do the same for wriggle, wiggle, clap until students agree on the order relating to the size of the movement. Independent Practice Students listen to the audio of “Grandpa Rap” and whisper-read to practice fluency. Intervention Instruction Sequence 2.RF.4.4b. Read gradelevel text orally with accuracy, appropriate rate, and expression. 388 “Our learning goal is to read a text orally.” Display “Grandpa Rap.” Discuss how the rhythm and the repetition of the words helps make the rap easy to remember. • Notice the word trumpet in the first and last verses. Discuss why there might be a hyphen in the middle of the word (emphasis on pet to rhyme with get). • Students read the rap, doing the actions at the same time, where possible, e.g. tap, snap, wiggle, clap. © 2013 Wendy Pye Publishing Ltd © 2013 Wendy Pye Publishing Ltd 389 Session 5 Gramps Collaborative Conversation and Writing 2.SL.1.3. Ask and answer questions about what a speaker says in order to clarify comprehension, gather additional information, or deepen understanding of a topic or issue. 2.W.3.7. Participate in shared research and writing projects (e.g., read a number of books on a single topic to produce a report; record science observations). “Our learning goal is to ask and answer questions on a topic that we research and write about.” Have students ask and answer questions about the topic of dance crazes. • Generate the discussion about dance crazes and record students’ responses to the following questions: What do you know about dance crazes? What do you want to learn about dance crazes? • Have students work in small groups to use bookmarks that you have identified to access web pages dealing with dance crazes. They collect information and listen to and collect audio samples of dance music and pictures. • Have students note interesting facts on cards. • When groups have completed their research, invite students to share what they have learned as you record their findings on a chart. • Support students in writing sentences about the dance craze they liked the best. They state what musical instruments were used, what sort of steps, any special clothing needed. Independent Practice Students click on the Writing button to work on the Sentence Sizzler activity. They select words or phrases by answering questions. These are inserted into the story. Once completed, students can listen to the story or read it themselves. The task models what writers do when they make choices about characters and settings. Intervention Instruction Sequence 2.W.3.7. Participate in shared research and writing projects (e.g., read a number of books on a single topic to produce a report; record science observations). 390 “Our learning goal is to use digital tools to produce and publish writing.” Have students use a slide show software or the Toolbox to produce and publish their dance craze research. • They can import pictures into the slide show and write captions describing the dance. • Remind them of the vocabulary used in Gramps—tapping, snapping, wriggling, jiggling. • Invite students to share opinions about the various web pages they visited in their research. Ask: Were they helpful? Why or why not? Were they easy or hard to navigate? Why? How did the audio help you learn about dance crazes? © 2013 Wendy Pye Publishing Ltd Session 5 Gramps Enrichment 2.W.1.1. Write opinion pieces in which they introduce the topic or book they are writing about, state an opinion, supply reasons that support the opinion, use linking words (e.g., because, and, also) to connect opinion and reasons, and provide a concluding statement or section. “Our learning goal is to write an opinion piece.” Have students share any experiences they have had of buskers on local streets. • Have them use the Internet or classroom books to research busking and buskers. • Support them in writing an opinion piece about whether busking is a good way of raising money. Make sure they give reasons, a conclusion, and linking words to join their ideas. • They edit and publish their opinion in the form of a letter. © 2013 Wendy Pye Publishing Ltd 391
