Unit 1 Lesson 2
The Trial of Cardigan Jones Lesson Topic The Court System Essential Question Why are courts an important part of our government? Anchor Text Genre: Fantasy Written and Illustrated By Tim Egan Fluency Phrasing Good readers read words in groups instead of one at a time to make their reading sound like natural speech. They also pause after groups of words that go together. Punctuation, including commas and end marks, can help readers know when to pause. Comprehension Target Skill: Conclusions When we read, we can draw conclusions based on story details. A conclusion is a smart guess about something the author does not say directly. Good readers use what they know about real life and clues the author gives to draw conclusions about characters and events. We can use an inference map to figure out things not stated directly. Resources Target Skill: Author's Word Choice Target Strategy: Infer/Predict Inferring is similar to drawing conclusions. When readers infer, they use what they know to figure out things that the author does not tell in the text.
