1. Review of Results from Mid-Unit 1 Assessment and Review Learning Targets

2. Quick review of quiz
Refer to page 90 on PDF

3. Reorienting to Informational Text and Read-Aloud of Section 5 of “The Vietnam Wars”
in Lesson 8 and for homework, you were focused on Ha’s subjective perspective of the events around her.
For the next few days, you will continue to build background knowledge about this historical era.
Please get out your “The Vietnam Wars” article.

4. Quickly partner up
take 5 minutes to work with a partner to recall key ideas from Sections 1–4, which you have already read.

5. And next…
for the next two lessons, you will focus on Section 5, “Doc-lap at Last.”
What does ‘doc-lap’ mean?

6. Did you find it?
Do you recall the meaning from your previous reading of Sections 1–4? If not, reread to see if you can find and define this key term.
Hint hint: look at the very last line in section 3

7. Section 5 Take a look at section 5 “Doc Lap at Last”.
Who can answer this question: What are the relevant dates of this last section? How does that fit into the timeline of what we’ve read so far in the novel Inside Out & Back Again?”

8. Did you make this connection?
Did you recognize that this informational text takes place in the same place and time as Ha’s story but slightly after what they have read so far in the novel.

9. Let’s try this again
as you did with Section 1, you will first hear the text read aloud and will stop to think about each paragraph.
Then in the next lesson, you will reread using specific questions to guide your thinking.

10. Let’s begin the read aloud
I will Read Section 5 aloud, one paragraph at a time, as you read along in you heads
After each paragraph I will stop and give you time to think and jot a note (annotate) about the gist in the margins: What is this paragraph mostly about?

11. Guided Note-taking on Two Key Paragraphs: Vietnam as a “Battleground in a Much Larger Struggle”
Take a look at the second learning target: “I can explain how Vietnam was a ‘battleground in a much larger struggle.’”
To help you meet that target, today you will focus on just two key paragraphs: paragraph 1 of “Doc-Lap at Last,” plus a paragraph from Section 4. (you will return to the rest of Section 5 during Lesson 10.)

12. Handout
Please look at the “The Vietnam Wars” Questions and Notes: A Battleground in a Much Larger Struggle handout.
Look at this quote from the text (in Section 4, paragraph 3, the paragraph that begins “By 1950…”).

13. Think pair share
pair up and use the Think-Pair-Share protocol to work through specific questions.
You will have 10 minutes to think, reread, talk with their partner, and write notes.
Then we will discuss whole group.

14. Share out…
What did you find?

15. Exit ticket (if time)
Exit Ticket complete the following exit ticket on a half sheet of paper or index card: A lot of this history happened many years before Ha was even born. Why might it be important to have this background knowledge to help you understand the situation Ha and her family face?

16. Homework
Complete the Questions and Notes: A Battleground in a Much Larger Struggle and reread and annotate Section 5, “Doc-Lap at Last.” (if you did not finish in class)
