Vocabulary Lesson 9:40 – 9:55

Today we will:  Learn and use the words luxurious, thrust, and hunch  Review words with multiple meanings  Build speaking and listening skills  Use discussion prompts to build on one another’s thinking

Let’s look at page 56 in Tuck Everlasting In this part of the story, Winnie is eating a meal at the Tucks’ home for the first time. “There were no napkins. It was all right, then, to lick the maple syrup from your fingers. Winnie was never allowed to do such a thing at home, but she had always thought it would be the easiest way. And suddenly the meal seemed luxurious.”

Vocabulary Word Focus: “luxurious” luxurious luxurious – very comfortable or pleasurable Winnie feels that eating with the Tucks is luxurious, or very comfortable or pleasurable, because she is allowed to behave in ways that she is not able to do at home. For example, she can lick maple syrup from her fingers.

luxurious

luxurious In the story the author, Natalie Babbitt, uses the word luxurious to describe an experience that Winnie is having that is very comfortable or pleasurable. We more often use the word luxurious to describe things – like furniture or clothing or places like houses or rooms – that are very comfortable or pleasurable. Here are a few examples of what I think are luxurious.

Imagine you are visiting a house that has a luxurious game room. What do you see in the luxurious game room? Open your eyes Think, Pair, Share In the luxurious game room, I see…

Imagine you are lolling in a luxurious chair. What does the luxurious chair look like? What does it feel like? Open your eyes Think, Pair, Share The luxurious chair looks/feels like…

Next Vocabulary Word - thrust In this part of the story, Tuck and Winnie are in a rowboat on the pond, and Tuck is explaining to Winnie why she must not drink from the spring. Let’s turn to page 62 and review this part of the story. “The rowboat had drifted at last to the end of the pond, but now its bow bumped into the rotting branches of a fallen tree that thrust thick fingers into the water.”

Vocabulary Word Focus: “thrust” thrust thrust – push or shove suddenly with force The author is “painting a picture” with words when she writes that it seemed as if the fallen tree had thrust, or shoved with sudden force, its branches into the water. Imagine how the branches might have looked thrust, or pushed, like fingers through the surface of the pond.

When you thrust something, you push or shove it suddenly or with force. For example, if you want to dig into hard ground with a shovel, you do not gently push the shovel into the ground. Instead, you thrust the shovel into the ground, or push it with force. thrust Raise your hand if you would like to act out thrusting a shovel into the ground?

thrust Sometimes people thrust open doors, or open doors suddenly or with force. Raise your hand if you would like to act out thrusting open a door? Why might someone thrust open a door? Turn to your Partner Prompt: – Someone might thrust open a door because…

thrust Sometimes people thrust, or suddenly shove, things like notes or slips of paper into their pockets. Raise your hand if you would like to act out thrusting a note into your pocket? Why might someone thrust a note or slip of paper into his or her pocket? Turn to your Partner Prompt: – Someone might thrust a note or slip of paper into their pocket because…

Final Vocabulary Word - hunch In this part of the story, Tuck has explained to Winnie what might happen if anyone else found out about the spring. Let’s turn to page and review this part of the story. “Winnie, struggling with the anguish of all these things, could only sit hunched and numb, the sound of the water rolling in her ears.”

Vocabulary Word Focus: “hunched” hunch hunch – bend your body into an arch or hump People often hunch when they are tired or upset. Winnie hunches, or bends her body into an arch or hump, because she is upset about what Tuck has told her.

Close your eyes and Imagine This… It is the end of the day and you are very tired. You are so tired you are hunching, or bending your body into arches or humps. What did you notice our volunteer doing as they hunched? Think, Pair, Share Prompt: When [volunteer] hunched, he/she…

hunched When have you hunched or seen someone hunch?

Multiple Meanings Many words have more than one meaning and those meanings are often very different. The word hunch has another meaning. Hunch also means a “feeling, not based on facts, that something will happen or is true.”

hunch When have you had a hunch, or a feeling, about something?.

Reading Lesson 9:55 – 10:55

Making Meaning – Analyzing Text Structure Independent Strategy Practice! Then, partner up and sit next to each other at corresponding desks. Then, partner up and sit next to each other at corresponding desks. Please get your Please get your – pencil – Independent Reading Novel – self-stick notes

Questioning We have been using the strategy of questioning and the thinking tool “Stop and Ask Questions” to help you make sense of the novel Tuck Everlasting. Think back to your questions recorded in your student response book. Were they answered? Were they direct or indirect questions? Questioning is a valuable strategy for helping readers understand everything they read. Today you will practice using questioning in your independent reading

Stop and Ask Questions As you read your independent novel today, use self-stick notes to mark places in your reading where questions come to mind. We used this thinking tool previously to ask questions about expository texts. We will be stopping every 5 minutes or so to share questions with your partner. LET’S READ!

Questioning Strategy Practice First stop! Share with your partner: – The title of your novel – The author’s name – A few sentences about the plot Share some of the questions on your self-stick notes with your partner.

Classroom Discussion I will select a few of you to share your questions from today’s reading. Discussion Prompts -I agree with ___________ because… -I disagree with ____________ because… -In addition to what _________ said, I think… What was happening in the text when that question came to mind? How would you answer that question right now? What evidence in the novel makes you think that? Is that question answered directly in the text or indirectly through clues? If directly, how? If indirectly, through what clues?

Classroom Discussion This week we focused on prompts to help you listen and build on one another’s thinking in partner and class conversations. The goal of learning the discussion prompts is to use them naturally throughout the day. Discussion Prompts -I agree with ___________ because… -I disagree with ____________ because… -In addition to what _________ said, I think… Have you noticed yourself using the discussion prompts naturally in your conversations throughout the day? Tell us about it.

Classroom Discussion If you haven’t been using the discussion prompts, when is a time during the school day that you might be able to use them to help you listen to and talk with another person? Discussion Prompts -I agree with ___________ because… -I disagree with ____________ because… -In addition to what _________ said, I think… Continue to look for opportunities to use the discussion prompts naturally throughout the day!
