2.Internal – happen inside of the character, involves only 1 person, can only be observed in thoughts of feelings of the character

Three types

:

1.Man vs. Nature (external) – character struggles with a force of nature such as a natural disaster, illness, animal, etc.

2.Man vs. Self (Internal) – character struggles with making a choice, overcoming feelings,

3.Man vs. Man (External or Internal) – usually a character struggles with another character(s)

Slide10

Slide13

Student Response Sample

On the pre-assessment, you answered a question about how a part of the story connects to the whole story. Let’s look at a level 1 sample student response.

Question

: Reread lines 40–49 from “Stray” below. How is this part of the story important to the whole?

Even after a week had gone by, Doris didn’t name the dog. She knew her parents wouldn’t let her keep it, that her father made so little money any pets were out of the question, and that the pup would definitely go to the pound when the weather cleared. Still, she tried talking to them about the dog at dinner one night. “She’s a good dog, isn’t she?” Doris said, hoping one of them would agree with her. Her parents glanced at each other and went on eating. “She’s not much trouble,” Doris added. “I like her.” She smiled at them, but they continued to ignore her.

Level 1 Response

: I think that this part of the story shows the problem. Doris wants to keep the dog but her parents won’t let her. She says things to try to change their minds.

Slide14

Book Club Task

You will be completing a book club task over the course of your book that mirrors what we are learning about in our mini-lessons with

Stray

.

Let’s look over it together.

There will be times where you can’t answer every part of a question yet if we haven’t gotten to it in class or you haven’t gotten to it in your book. Complete it as you go and as you learn!

This will be turned in for a grade, so make sure you are demonstrating your best learning!

Slide15

Workshop

Read book club book for 20 minutes. I will let you know when to get in your book clubs.

Discuss your jots and work on your book club task with your book club.

Teaching Point

Good readers know that story elements play an important role in a story.

A small part of a text, such as one story element, can say a lot about the story as a whole. Remember, everything an author chooses to include is chosen with purpose!

Slide22

Student Response Sample

Let’s compare a level 1 response from yesterday to a level 2 response.

Question

: Reread lines 40–49 from “Stray” below. How is this part of the story important to the whole?

Even after a week had gone by, Doris didn’t name the dog. She knew her parents wouldn’t let her keep it, that her father made so little money any pets were out of the question, and that the pup would definitely go to the pound when the weather cleared. Still, she tried talking to them about the dog at dinner one night. “She’s a good dog, isn’t she?” Doris said, hoping one of them would agree with her. Her parents glanced at each other and went on eating. “She’s not much trouble,” Doris added. “I like her.” She smiled at them, but they continued to ignore her.

Level 1 Response

: I think that this part of the story shows the problem. Doris wants to keep the dog but her parents won’t let her. She says things to try to change their minds.

Level 2 Response

: This part of the story shows the problem. Doris wants to keep the dog but her parents won’t let her. This part builds tension because Doris tries to convince her parents to change their minds. She tells them that the dog is good. But they ignore her. They don’t want a pet because they are poor.

Slide23

Student Response Sample

Let’s compare a level 1 response from yesterday to a level 2 response.

Question

: Reread lines 40–49 from “Stray” below. How is this part of the story important to the whole?

Even after a week had gone by, Doris didn’t name the dog. She knew her parents wouldn’t let her keep it, that her father made so little money any pets were out of the question, and that the pup would definitely go to the pound when the weather cleared. Still, she tried talking to them about the dog at dinner one night. “She’s a good dog, isn’t she?” Doris said, hoping one of them would agree with her. Her parents glanced at each other and went on eating. “She’s not much trouble,” Doris added. “I like her.” She smiled at them, but they continued to ignore her.

Level 2 Response

: This part of the story shows the problem. Doris wants to keep the dog but her parents won’t let her. This part builds tension because Doris tries to convince her parents to change their minds. She tells them that the dog is good. But they ignore her. They don’t want a pet because they are poor.

Level 3 Response

: This part of the story reveals the problem. Doris wants to keep the dog but her parents won’t let her. This part builds tension because Doris tries to convince her parents to change their minds. Doris says “She’s a good dog, isn’t she?” and “She’s not much trouble.” This dialogue shows how much Doris wants the dog. But her parents ignore her. They don’t want a pet because they can’t afford it. But later in the story, they do end up letting her keep the dog. This part shows the idea that if you try really hard, you can get what you want.

Slide31

Citing Text Evidence

Use the author’s exact words.

Use quotation marks and commas correctly.

Tell me where to find this information (page, paragraph, line, etc.).

Sentence Starters for Citing Evidence

:

On page ___, the author stated, “_______________.”

According to the text, “________________.” This can be found in paragraph _____.

One example of this in the text is in line ____ when the text said, “_________________________________________.”
