Build Theme Connections

• Lets take a look at our story, Pig Pig Gets a
  Job.
• How are communities alike and different?
• What can be different about communities? For
  example one city may have a lot of buildings and
  another may have very few.
• What are interesting activities you have noticed
  people doing in other communities?
• We read that

New York and Bisbee both have schools.
Our community has schools too. How else are they
alike?

Extend Theme Vocabulary

• Think about the meaning of the words in the
  box.
• Can you figure out which words are nouns,
  verbs, or adjectives?

resources services need alike population somethi
ng goods fix
What do verbs tell us? How can you remember what
a noun means? What do you use to describe
something?

Monitor Comprehension

• It is important to understand what you just read.
  Define the strategy you use to know what the
  story was about.
• Here are strategies to help you
• Reread Students can read the confusing section
  again.
• Read on Students can continue reading to see
  if the passage answers the question.
• Summarize Students can find the important ideas
  to check that they understand what has
  happened.
• Slow down Students can slow their reading rate
  when they face a complex section.
• Picture Clues Students can use visuals to help

Questions to ask when you need help What can you
look for when you read? How can you figure out
what a word means? If you read on, what do you
look for?

Text Structure

• Theme Question What makes a good community?
• Remember Text structure is how an author
  includes ideas.
• In A Community Like Mine, the author describes
  and defines events. Read page 20 and discuss how
  the author says two kinds of jobs that people do
  and goes on to explain each.
• In Pig Pig Gets a Job, the text structure is
  compare and contrast. Read pages 8-9 and point
  out that the author uses the word, but, as a
  signal for contrasting.

• Do you remember how to break multisyllabic words?
• Lets practice building words using the first row
  for the first syllable, the second row for the
  second syllable, and the third row for the last.

  garden.

Writing

• Remember, when we prepare our writing for
  publishing, we make a nice, neat copy that
  includes the revisions and edits we made.
• We include a title and we write our name under
  the title.
• We space our lines neatly so our writing is easy
  to read.
