Text: Squirrels Using Snakeskins? & A Clever Use of Coconuts
(2013 Released Paired Passages)
This lesson will focus on using strategies to help students learn how to compare texts on STAAR.
-Project Squirrels Using Snakeskins? on your Smart Board and label the passage with the genre and the #1. Then, flip to the questions and label each question that goes with Squirrels Using Snakeskins? also with a #1.
-Go back and read the 1st passage and think aloud. Model your thought process when answering the questions.
-Walk students through labeling the next passage, A Clever Use of Coconuts, with a #2. Use the same process to label the questions as well.
-Instruct students to then read the 2nd passage and answer the 2nd set of questions, and emphasize that this is how you want them to process paired passages on the STAAR test.
(see handouts for details)
Students complete A Clever Use of Coconuts and the questions that accompany the passage independently.

-You will want to read both passages aloud again to refresh students’ memory. This should not be an expectation for students when completing STAAR. Since this is a new day, your only purpose is refreshing the students’ memory.
