 * Suggested Activities ** [see Legend to highlight MCO and HYS]

Read informational books about planets throughout the week. Create a display of books on the planets.

Explicitly teach who, what, when, where, why, and how questions. Allow students the opportunity to generate questions based on what they want to learn about Earth. Make a six-columned chart with the questions types at the top of each column. Conduct a mini-research during shared reading/writing about an aspect of the planet Earth. Fill-in the answers together on the chart from the texts you are using in the mini-research. Make sure all questions have been addressed before students begin their own research of a planet other than Earth.

Have students to select a planet to write about other than Earth. Use a six-columned chart to generate questions to answer about that planet. Using the key words where, when, why, and how key events occur, students should begin by creating a list of open-ended questions they want to answer through their research. The generating of questions could happen as a class if students need modeling of the process. Students may begin researching their planet and recording information. (HINT: You may want to have a set of predetermined questions for students to use if they get stuck.) They will finish writing the report based on the research next week.

To help students with organizing information, give students large index cards with each question on one side and have them write the answers on the other side. (**SEE PLANET RESEARCH FOLDER AND PICTURE FOR ORGANIZATIONAL IDEAS)** When they are finished finding the answers, have them use these cards to help them write a report on the planet. Students should create one prop to help explain their most interesting finding about the planet. (L.3.1, L.3.2, L.3.3, L.3.5, W.3.8, W.3.7, W.3.10, W.3.2

Have students look up the word //know // in an online thesaurus. Create a horizontal line on the board with wonder at one end and know at the other. To show shades of meaning, discuss the placement of other state-of-mind words (i.e., the synonyms and antonyms of know) on the scale. Repeat this activity with verbs and/or adjectives (such as warm) that come up in student reading. (L.3.5c) **SEE SHADES OF MEANING MAP** (S, E/C, IC) (CQO, CL, S/N)
