Week 10 / Exploration and Colonization / Exploration alters past, present, and future cultures.
Colonization reflects the diversity in ways of life in North America.
Merging cultures create social, political, and economic change.
People may migrate for religious, political, or economic reasons.
Oppressors may force migration and relocation of cultural groups.
Communities develop social, economic, and politic structures to create order, to establish interaction patterns, and to manage growth and development.
SHARED READING WEEK 10 BACK
It is essential to teach the Shared Reading TEKS listed. Pick and choose from the suggested texts to use in your shared reading lessons this week. Remember that you do NOT have to read all pages listed for a text in one shared reading session. Select passages that will best help you model the TEKS. You may choose another text from a content area like social studies or science or a trade book to use instead of the texts listed. The bottom line is the TEKS must be taught but teachers may choose texts based on their students’ needs and interests. Use data from Reading CBA #1 to determine TEKS that need special emphasis with your students this nine weeks.
5.10g paraphrase and summarize text to recall, inform, or organize ideas (4-8)
Þ  Region 4 TAKS Reading Preparation Grade 5, pp. 32-33: Summarization Lesson
Þ  Use Harcourt Horizons Vol. 1 Unit 2 Chapter 4 Lesson 2, pp. 150-155: New France as the expository text for this lesson
5.12H analyze characters, including their traits, motivations, conflicts, points of view, relationships, and changes they undergo (4-8)
Þ  Region 4 TAKS Reading Preparation Grade 5, pp. 42-47: Characterization Lesson

§  McGraw-Hill Sailboat Unit 3, pp. 258-269: The Marble Champ
IMPORTANT! The McGraw-Hill reading series teaches fact versus nonfact. The TEKS specify fact versus opinion. There is a big different between the two. Facts are statements that can be proven true. Opinions are statements that express judgments or ideas. Opinions cannot be proven true or false. Opinions are always open to debate. Teach students to recognize opinion words such as think, believe, suggest, probably, perhaps, usually, good bad, best, worst, most, beautiful, dangerous, etc.
§  As the teacher reads, stop to discuss opinions in the story. Think-aloud to show students how to determine if a statement is an opinion.
§  Think-aloud to show students how to recognize facts in the story.
