Unit 2 Lesson 8
Lesson Topic Traditions Essential Question What do traditional tales tell readers about life? Anchor Text: The Harvest Birds Genre: Folktale Written By Blanca Lopez de Mariscal Illustrated By Linda Cane Fluency Stress When good readers read aloud, they stress the right syllables within words and the right words within sentences. Words with two or more syllables are usually pronounced with more stress on one syllable. Words within sentences are stressed to express the feeling and meaning in a sentence. Comprehension Target Skill: Conclusions Authors don't always tell readers everything about the characters and events in a story. Instead readers should look for details, such as what a character says or does, to draw conclusions, or figure out the details the author didn't include. Target Skill: Literal and Nonliteral Meanings An author can use words in different ways to tell a story. One way is to use a word's literal meaning, or its exact meaning. Another way is to use a word's nonliteral meaning, or a symbolic or figurative meaning of a word. Target Strategy: Infer/Predict You can use story details to infer, or figure out, the message the author is trying to give readers. You can also use the conclusions you draw to help you make inferences about the story's characters, events and message. As you read, you should predict what is going to happen or the message the author wants to give readers through the story. Making Inferences Video Silent K Song
