Good readers ask and answer questions about a text to help them better understand what they read.

Anchor Chart 1: Ask and Answer Questions. Use it to review the reasons for asking and answering questions, and to point out the types of who, what, when, where, and why questions readers may ask.

Students can ask questions about things they are curious about, and to help them make predictions about what they will learn from reading. Asking and answering questions during and after reading will help readers clear up any confusion they have and to think more deeply about the topic.

Practice asking and answering questions when they read The Nose Awards.

# data[].attributes.body
Re-read The Nose Awards and think about the central, or main, ideas the author wants readers to know.

Project or display Anchor Chart 17: Central Idea.

The central idea of a text is what that text is mostly about. Sometimes the author states the main idea. At other times, readers have to infer, or figure out, the main idea on their own.

Students can use headings and visuals as clues to the central idea. Review that the first or last sentence of a paragraph may also suggest the central idea.

Authors include evidence to support central, or main, ideas. Details, such as facts or examples, provide evidence that tells more about the central idea.

Practice identifying central, or main, ideas and supporting details to gain a deeper understanding of The Nose Awards.

Rodeo events require intense mental concentration from cowboys and cowgirls trying to defy the odds and beat the clock. Sometimes though, the ride does not go as planned and contestants are faced with not so graceful dismounts and jumps a little too high. The hardworking cowboys and cowgirls end their mission with the same kind of weightlessness than an astronaut feels in space.

The Defyin' Gravity Awards recognize contestants with the wildest rides and the toughest luck, regardless of whether or not they beat the clock. Rodeo fans watch the replays and use an applause meter to determine who had the roughest ride of the night.

Nightly Defyin' Gravity Award winners receive a travel voucher and are entered to win the ultimate Defyin' Gravity Award - one year's worth of travel funds, sponsored by Axiom Space. The ultimate Defyin' Gravity contestant from RODEOHOUSTON will be decided by audience members during the Super Series Championship Round on Sunday, March 19.

Writers use certain types of sentences, phrases, and word choices to make their writing sound unique. Doing so creates the author’s voice, a way of writing that is individual and noticeable. Often, the author’s voice reveals a tone— his or her feelings or attitude about the topic.

The author’s voice also creates a mood, the reaction or feeling that readers experience. Explain that a text’s genre may affect its mood.
