3. Learning Target
I can effectively engage in discussions with my classmates about our reading. I can select ideas from my notes to support my analysis of the characters Nya and Salva.
In this lesson, students do not read a new chapter of the novel. Instead, they synthesize their learning
from Chapters 1–5, focusing on their current understanding of the characters Nya and Salva. This
prepares them for a shift in focus to informational text in Lessons 10–14. Students know that Salva is
from the Dinka tribe and Nya is from the Nuer tribe and that these two tribes have a history of violence
in the midst of the Sudanese Civil War. Lesson 9 thus helps create a “need to know” the content
knowledge they will encounter through informational texts in Lessons 10–14.

4. World Cafe
Purpose: To discuss a topic or various topics, rotating the role of leadership and mixing up a group of people. To prepare: Take out all Long Walk to Water notes.
Students synthesize their discussions from the World Café with a prompt to generate ideas for the prewriting
process. In Lessons 10–13, students will continue to practice writing, adding a layer of writing
with evidence. In Lesson 14, they write a more extended response during their End of Unit assessment.
This will launch students into more focused writing instruction in Unit 2.
