1 LESSON 23 TEACHER S GUIDE by Elizabeth Wells Fountas-Pinnell Level M Informational Text Selection Summary Thick, warm wool can be turned into fabric for many purposes, such as clothing, blankets, and other items.

2 by Elizabeth Wells Build Background Help children use their knowledge of wool to visualize the book. Build interest by asking questions such as the following: Where does wool come from? Read the title and author and talk about the cover illustration. Tell children that this book is informational text, so the words and photos will give factual information. Front-Load Vocabulary Some everyday words may be unfamiliar to English learners. Before reading, check understanding of the following words: comb, material, carpets, blankets, sweaters, scarves. Introduce the Text Guide students through the text, noting important ideas, and helping with unfamiliar language and vocabulary so they can read the text successfully. Call their attention to any important labels. Here are some suggestions: Page 2: Explain that this book tells how wool from sheep and other animals is made into cloth. Have children turn to page 2 and study the photo. Suggested language: Turn to page 2. Headings tell what information the section will contain. Read the heading: Wool and the label, woolen scarf. What do you think the girl s scarf is made of? Page 4: Remind children that headings and labels can work with photos to help them understand the text. The heading on page 4 says, Cutting Fleece. The labels on the photo read farmer and fl eece. What is happening on this page? The heading and the labels tell you that the farmer is cutting fl eece. Page 6: Spinning is another step in turning wool into cloth. What do you do when you spin a top? Spinning wool also involves turning something around and twisting it. Spinning wool turns it into long strands. Then the thin strands of twisted wool are called yarn. Yarn can be used to make cloth. Page 11: Explain that wool does not just come from sheep. What is this animal? What do you think the wool from this rabbit would feel like? Now turn back to the beginning of the book and read to fi nd out about how we use wool. Target Vocabulary delicious having great flavor, pleasing, p. 11 duplicated made an exact copy of, p. 10 dye a liquid that is used to change the color of cloth or other material, p. 7 sharpening making an edge of something very pointed or thin, p. 4 spinning twisting together pieces of material to make yarn or thread, p. 6 strands thin pieces of thread, string, or hair, p. 6 weave to make an item by crossing materials over one another or braiding them together, p. 7 yarn any spun thread, p. 6 2 Lesson 23:

3 Read Have children read silently while you listen to individual children read. Support their problem solving and fluency as needed. Remind children to use the Summarize Strategy about important ideas as they read., and to stop to tell Discuss and Revisit the Text Personal Response Invite children to share their personal responses to the story. Suggested language: What was the most interesting information you learned from reading this book? Why did you find that information interesting? Ways of Thinking As you discuss the text, help children understand these points: Thinking Within the Text Thinking Beyond the Text Thinking About the Text People have been using wool to make cloth for thousands of years. The process of turning wool into cloth involves many steps. Most wool comes from sheep, but goats, rabbits, and alpacas are also sources of wool. For thousands of years, people have been using animal fur to create cloth. Animal fur can be cut off and used without harming the animal. The fur of wool-producing animals regrows and can be cut off many times Fountas, I.C. & Pinnell, G.S. Teaching for Comprehending and Fluency, Heinemann, Portsmouth, N.H. The photos help the reader understand what the text describes. The section headings give a good idea of what information will be covered. The author s purpose is informing readers about animals that provide wool and how that wool is turned into fabric. Choices for Further Support Fluency Invite children to choose a passage from the text and demonstrate phrased, fl uent reading. Remind them to slow down for more diffi cult text and to read more quickly when the text is easier. Comprehension Based on your observations of the children s reading and discussion, revisit parts of the text to clarify or extend comprehension. Remind children to go back to the text to support their ideas. Phonics/Word Work Provide practice as needed with words and word parts, using examples from the text. Remind children that not all words are made plural by adding s or es. Point out that some words, such as sheep, stay the same: one sheep, two sheep. Some words change spelling. Call attention to scarf on page 2 and scarves on page 7, and point out that the f in scarf was changed to v before es was added. 3 Lesson 23:

4 Writing about Reading Critical Thinking Have children complete the Critical Thinking questions on BLM Responding Have children complete the activities at the back of the book. Use the instruction below as needed to reinforce or extend understanding of the comprehension skill. Target Comprehension Skill Conclusions Remind children that they can draw conclusions about a text by looking for key details. Model the skill, using a Think Aloud like the one below: Think Aloud The conclusion in the chart on page 15 says: Wool comes from many animals. To fill in the chart, I have to look for details that support this conclusion. I know from reading page 8 that most wool comes from sheep. That s the first detail to add to the chart. When I turn to page 10, I read that some wool comes from goats. That s the second detail. As I read on, I will look for another detail to support the conclusion. Practice the Skill Have children find other details in the text that support the conclusion that wool comes from many animals. Writing Prompt: Thinking Beyond the Text Have children write a response to the prompt on page 6. Remind them that when they think beyond the text, they use what they know and their own experience to think about what happens in the story. Assessment Prompts What is the author s purpose for writing this selection? How do people make yarn? 4 Lesson 23:

5 English Language Development Reading Support Check regularly on children s oral reading to determine accuracy, fluency, and comprehension.
