Balina by Michael Sandler

Build BackgroundHelp students use their knowledge of whales and oceans to visualize the story. Build interest by asking a question such as the following: ¿Qué características especiales tendría un personaje que ama el océano? Read the title and author and talk about the cover illustration. Tell students that this story is a tall tale, which is a humorous story about impossible or exaggerated events.

Introduce the TextGuide students through the text, noting important ideas, and helping with unfamiliar language and vocabulary so they can read the text successfully. Here are some suggestions:

Page 3: Explain that a whale in the bay and in other with olas areas, especially on the beach, is an unusual sight. The whale’s mouth being open for inspection is especially strange. Suggested language: Miren la ilustración. La ballena está lista para que la gente que está en la playa la inspeccione de cerca. ¿Qué implica una inspección?

Pages 4–5: Tell students that to everyone’s astonishment, a baby girl is inside the whale’s mouth and is pried from it. Ask: ¿Cómo se vería que saquen a un bebé de la boca de una ballena? ¿Por qué la gente se sorprendería de ver algo así?

Pages 8–9: Explain that Balina has unusual talents. She lifts cows and swims better than any marine creature. She even pulls tugboats!

Page 12–13: Balina escucha que un barco ha sido arrastrado hasta unas rocas y necesita de su ayuda. El capitán está horrorizado, pero Balina no tiene miedo ya que es marinera de nacimiento. Ask: ¿Por qué piensan que Balina es marinera de nacimiento?

Ahora, vuelvan al comienzo y lean para descubrir cómo son puestas a prueba las fuerzas especiales de Balina.

Remind students to use the Infer/Predict Strategy and to use text clues to fi gure out what the author means or what might happen in the future.

Discuss and Revisit the TextPersonal ResponseInvite students to share their personal responses to the story. Suggested language: ¿Qué habilidades especiales tenía Balina? ¿Cómo usaba estas habilidades para ayudar a otros?

Ways of ThinkingAs you discuss the text, help students understand these points:

Thinking Within the Text Thinking Beyond the Text Thinking About the Text

• A whale appears on a Florida beach, and a little girl is inside its mouth.

• Balina is adopted and exhibits superhuman abilities.

• Local tugboat owners lobby to outlaw Balina’s presence, but she saves the day when a ship is stranded.

• Differences make people special and unique.

• Pursuing individual interests and callings can lead to happiness.

• The details of the characters make the story amusing and fun to read.

• The illustrations help in understanding the story.

• Dialogue makes the narrative realistic for readers.

Choices for Further Support• Fluency Invite students to work in partners and choose a passage from the text to

demonstrate phrased fl uent reading. Remind them to read at an appropriate rate, moving along rapidly with a few slowdowns and stops or pauses to solve words.

• Comprehension Based on your observations of the students’ reading and discussion, revisit parts of the text to clarify or extend comprehension. Remind students to go back to the text to support their ideas.

• Phonics/Word Work Provide practice as needed with words and word parts, using examples from the text. Remind children that the prefi x in– means negation or the opposite. For example, inusual on page 6 means poco común. Have students fi nd other examples of words with the prefi x in– and fi gure out what they mean.

Target Comprehension SkillUnderstanding Characters

Target Comprehension Skill Remind students that they can analyze a

character’s words, thoughts, and actions to better understand a story. Model how to add details to the Graphic Organizer, using a “Think Aloud” like the one below:

Think Aloud

En la historía, Balina demuestra su amor por el océano de muchas maneras. Como se ve en el organizador gráfi co, cuando está en el mar es cuando más feliz se siente. Una de las acciones que Balina realiza es trabajar como remolcadora. Esto está relacionado con su amor por el océano, así que es un detalle importante a agregar en la columna Acciones. Estos detalles ayudan a que el lector entienda al personaje.

Practice the SkillHave students share an example of another story in which they analyzed a character’s words, thoughts, and actions to better understand a story.

BalinaRazonamiento crítico

La sacaron de la boca de una ballena y fue adoptada por una familia de

la zona.

Sus hermanos se enojan con ella por pasar tanto tiempo en la tina. Los

dueños de los remolques se enojan porque les quita clientes. Balina se

pone triste cuando no puede estar en el mar.

Balina es buena estudiante; saca buenas notas. A Balina le gusta

ayudar; remolca barcos y cobra muy poco. También quiere a su familia;

no se fue con las ballenas sin pedirle permiso a sus padres y regresa

cada año a visitarlos.

Balina es una persona como todas en muchos aspectos, pero tiene

características sobrehumanas y puede hacer cosas extraordinarias.

4 Las ballenas tienen un aliento espantoso. Huele a peces,

dientes de ballena y algas podridas. El hombre contuvo el

aliento. Miró dentro de la boca de la ballena. —Hay algo dentro

—pensó—. Se está moviendo.

No se equivocaba. Encima de la lengua de la ballena

gateaba una niñita, una bebé con llamativo cabello azul, llena

de vida. El hombre tomó coraje y, a pesar del fuerte aliento,

metió la mano y sacó a la pequeña de las fauces de la ballena.

Pronto se formó una multitud. Se arrimaron para examinar

a la niña. Se preguntaron en voz alta: —¿De dónde habrá

salido?
