Week 1 Day 4

Extend the ThemeTheme

Question: How do communities

change, and how do they

stay the same?

Focus Question:

What was life like in the

past?

Let’s take a look at pages 8 and 9 in our story, Unlock the Past-Build the Future.

What do you see in the four pictures? Can you describe the transportation, shopping, schools, ways of having fun, jobs, and communities?

Suppose you were asked to give a presentation about our community to students who had just moved here. What would you tell them about our community in the past? What would you tell them about the present?

Let’s see if we can classify the words and phrases into the correct category.

What does it mean to summarize?

- Summarizing means retelling the most important information from a text in your own words.

- This is just one of the many strategies we can use while we read.

Let’s take a look at pg. 13. How can we summarize what we read?

This page describes how San Francisco changed over time. To summarize, I will use the strategy of determining important information to find important ideas.

Two important ideas are: San Francisco changed from a tiny port to a big city when many people moved there to mine gold, and today jobs include banks and computers.

I will include these in my summary: San Francisco is a big city because people went there when gold was discovered in 1848, but today they work on computers and in banks.

Analyze Text Structure

Pages Question Text Evidence8-9 How have people changes

the ways they get the things they need?

10-11 Describe children’s life in the past.

12-17 How did these communities change?

Let’s read the first paragraph together on page 8. I can make a statement and support it using text evidence.

My statement is “Transportation in communities has changed.” Page 8 has details that support my statement. It says, “People now use subways but in the past used horses and carts.” I will record this and page 8.
