Lesson for Day - A Sea of Garbage?

d_finnerty — 2015-09-03 02:13:48 UTC

Language Arts Focus: Determine relationships: Problem/solution

1. A large amount of garbage, made up mostly of plastic debris, has been discovered floating in the Atlantic Ocean.

2. Even though a lot of the tiny plastic pieces are nearly invisible, the debris is harmful for fish, sea mammals, and humans. It can entangle birds, and is eaten by fish, which in turn are eaten by humans. As many as 100,000 sea mammals could die from ocean trash this year.

3. Since there is no way to clean the oceans, it is important to keep plastic out. People can use less of it, but if they are going to use it, they should make sure they dispose of it in the right places so it doesn't end up in our oceans.

Del Val 5th BEFORE Started by introducing strategy: Problem/Solution

2015-09-15 15:01:25 UTC

Del Val 5th BEFORE Searched for A Sea of Garbage

2015-09-15 15:02:12 UTC

She dragged the title over to the weekly planner to assign. :)

Del Val 5th BEFORE Previewed the article and the problem

2015-09-15 15:07:02 UTC

Told students that they will write down some solutions as they read.

Del Val 5th BEFORE Read the poll and discussed "opinion"

2015-09-15 15:08:24 UTC

Told kids that theirs may be a little different because their article is at THEIR level

Think about your opinion and WHY you think that (your experience or knowledge) and then record your answer. "I agree because... or I disagree because..." Think of EXPERIENCES that you have had or OTHER READINGS to answer the "because".

The kids will share their responses

Who would like to share about what they wrote?

Did anyone disagree?

Press SUBMIT then go to "article"

Del Val 5th BEFORE Vocabulary Instructions

2015-09-15 15:11:47 UTC

Has anyone ever heard about the word "pollution"? Discuss and confirm meaning.

"environment"

Del Val 5th DURING Where and when was this article written?

2015-09-15 15:16:20 UTC

Lets read to find out the problem and maybe some solutions.

Read both pages, because there are 2 solutions on the first page, and even more on the second page.

I want to see pencils out writing notes on the graphic organizer.

You will find one problem and two solutions.

Can someone read to me their very first paragraph?

Student reads.

T: That might be the problem!

I am going to read my first paragraph.

Does everyone have that same information? Now you all know what you can write for the "problem" on the graphic organizer.

T walks around to check notes.

Reminded students that underlined words can be clicked on to find the definition.

Showed students how to highlight and told them to highlight the problem in yellow (select and choose yellow) and highlight the solutions in blue.

Note: you can "undo" by highlighting again with "clear"

You can take notes right in the story.
