Los estudiantes avanzan a la segunda unidad del taller de lectura y aprenden

que los autores de sus series utilizan palabras precisas (metáforas y comparación) para crear imágenes

muy claras en la mente de los lectores. Los lectores expertos se fijan en la

manera que el autor usa palabras para hacer que las cosas más ordinarias y

simples, sean extraordinarias.

Lectores en casa:

-Los lectores buscan palabras precisas (son palabras, frases especialmente elegidas por el autor que ayudan a ver o describir de una manera diferente como suceden y son las cosas ) y los lectores se preguntan: ¿Qué es lo que el autor realmente quiere decir? ¿Qué me quiere enseñar el escritor? (usan notas adhesivas y escriben: Esto me hace pensar que… El escritor me quiere enseñar que…)

-Los lectores siempre tienen en mente las siguiente preguntas:

1.¿Quién es el personaje principal?

2.¿Qué siente el personaje principal? (marca las pastes importante en el libro, que apoyan su respuesta)

3.¿Cuál es el problema de la historia?

4.¿Cómo se soluciona el problema?

Next week, scientists we will be creating an innovative object using recycled materials. They will compare and contrast the similarities and differences of the materials , and explain the properties of the materials they used.

Students can create a new project with their parents at home using recycled materials. Create a model of the project first, then build it using the materials collected, and finally discuss why you used those materials and what their properties are.

Learners and friends will practice speaking and listening attentively, responding thoughtfully, and taking turns while interviewing a buddy.

Point out when you are using body language to show you are paying attention. Nodding, or saying “I agree” after someone finishes talking, are a few ways to show you are paying attention.
