• Nick got everyone in his family to help with
  the party. Because he thinks his parents are
  good artists, Nick put them in charge of
  decorations. Since he believes that no one bakes
  better cakes and cookies than his sister Jen,
  Nick asked her to make a fancy birthday cake.
  And because everyone thinks that Nick is the best
  organizer in the family, Nick put everything
  together, even the songs, games, and surprises.

  the presents for Grandpa on a table. Nick helped
  everyone hide. When Grandpa walked in the door,
  they all yelled, Surprise! Nick thought

Listening Comprehension (cont.)

• Pops Bridge is historical fiction, a type of
  fiction that combines a made-up story with real
  events from the past.
• Listen as I read the first four paragraphs.
• I know the Golden Gate Bridge is real. I know
  it opened in 1937, so this story happens before
  then. The boy telling the story sounds like a
  real boy. I think this story is historical
  fiction because it is about events that really
  happened, but the characters are not real people.
  
• You should listen to historical fiction to enjoy
  it and to learn about the time, people, places,
  and events from history that are discovered.
• Remember that facts are statements that can be
  seen or proved and opinions are what people
  believe, think, or feel.

  the setting seem real. The characters may state
  opinions. Finish Read Aloud
