Lets take a minute to look at this image What do you notice? What do you wonder? “Zoom more closely into the image. Think about the details. Now, what do you notice?”

A. You will have 1 minute to review your groups “notices” and “wonders B. Independently, you will jot down 2 things: What was similar about your notices and wonders to our own? What was different about your notices and wonders? C. With your group, discuss and compare the questions

Based on the details of this picture and the context of the caption, what do you think the word orphaned means? “Orphaned is what we call children who have lost both of their parents.” The word orphaned is the verb form of the word orphan and is related to the word orphanage.

Flip your workbooks to Page 2 - word-catcher This word-catcher is the same one we used in Module 1. It is a tool to collect new words we are learning through the reading and discussion of texts throughout this module. Add the word orphaned to the word-catcher. Think-Pair-Share: “How might the life of an orphaned child be different from the life of a child who has a family?” The time period in which Bud, Not Buddy takes place is called the Great Depression. The Great Depression is a period of about 10 years in the 1930s when millions of people in our country were struggling and jobless. The economy and stock market had crashed; the Midwest, where much of our country’s food is grown, was struck by drought, so farmers lost their crops; and many took to “riding the rails,” crisscrossing the country in search of work.

Whole Class Read of Chapter 1: Who Is Buddy? We will use this novel as a way to launch our next study: “Rules to Live By …” In order to get into the novel, I will read aloud the first chapter as you read along. First, take a couple of minutes to examine the cover and read the blurb on the back of the book. “What do you think this book is about?” “Who is the main character, or protagonist, of the book?” protagonist means the leading character, or hero, of a story. Percy Jackson was the protagonist of The Lightning Thief.

Chapter 1 Read Along! Follow along with me. In groups answer the following questions: “Who is Bud?” “What have we learned about him?” “What kind of character is he so far? What evidence from the text makes you think this?”

In the next chapter, you will be introduced to some “rules” by which Bud lives his life. These rules provide another window into Bud’s character and past. Tracking Bud’s Rules graphic organizer Page 3 You will use this organizer to think, write, and talk about Bud’s rules. Often, this graphic organizer will be used for homework as you read, and then for discussion at the beginning of class. Lets review each column.

Review each column with students Review each column with students. Explain that the second column requires them to support their answer with evidence from the text. The third column will not rely on evidence; it is their opinion. Tell students it is all right if they feel a little confusion when trying this out for homework; they will reread and look more closely at this graphic organizer in the next lesson.
