Please do not read this to the students.  This is a description for teachers, about the big ideas and key understanding that students should take away after completing this task.\nBig Ideas and Key Understandings\nThe Pilgrims’ journey on the Mayflower was filled with hardship, danger, and fear of the unknown. The Pilgrims felt freed of religion was worth the hardships and danger of traveling to a new land.\nSynopsis\nA boy and his family endure a difficult nine-week journey across the ocean and survive the first winter at Plymouth.  Based on true events, Across the Wide Dark Sea poetically narrates a young boy’s account of risking the ocean to find religious freedom in a new land.\nRe-read the main selection text while noting the stopping points for the Text Dependent Questions and teaching Vocabulary.\nDuring Teaching\nStudents read the entire main selection text independently.\nTeacher reads the main selection text aloud with students following along with the text. (Depending on how complex the text is and the amount of support needed by students, the teacher may choose to reverse the order of steps 1 and 2.)\nStudents and teacher re-read the text while stopping to respond to and discuss the questions and returning to the text.  A variety of methods can be used to structure the reading and discussion (i.e.:  whole class discussion, think-pair-share, independent written response, group work, etc.)\nText-Dependent Questions\nText Under Consideration\nText-Dependent Question\nAnswer\nPg. 159\nRe-read the first three paragraphs.\nWhere are the characters and what are they doing?\nAt sea\nOn a ship\nOff on a journey to an unknown land\nP. 159\n“We were crowded below deck in a space so low that my father could barely stand upright, and so cramped that we could scarcely stretch out to sleep.”\nWhat words or phrases help you understand what cramped means?\ncramped\nMy father could barely stand upright\nWe could scarcely stretch out to sleep\nPg. 159\nWhy did the boy say, “Our family was luckier than most. We had a corner out of the damp cold”?\nStudents should note that the ship was packed tight with nearly 100 people\nCrowded below deck in a space so low they could not stand upright\nCramped; could not stretch out to sleep\nP. 161\n“The choppy sea seemed angry.”\nThe author uses personification to explain the state of the sea.  How does the phrase, “the choppy sea seemed angry” help you understand the meaning of the word “choppy\"?\nThe meaning of choppy in the phrase could mean the sea was angry and violent.\nStudents may infer the boat was being thrown around and switching directions suddenly\nPg. 161\nOn page 161, the narrator wonders, “How could a ship so small and helpless ever cross the vast ocean?” Why does the author tell us this? How does it connect with other events in the text?\nStudent should start to recognize how dangerous it was to cross the ocean. This question deepens students’ sense of how big of a risk it was for the Pilgrims to leave their homes for the New World. Key details include:\nPeople sent below deck\nWind howled, waves crashed\nThe ship shuddered as it rose and fell in seas as high as mountains\nP. 162\nFrom whose perspective is the story told?  How do you know?\nA young boy\n“I stood close to my father”, “I clung to my father’s hand”, etc.\nP. 162\noverboard\nReread this sentence; “Once during a storm a man was swept overboard.”\nWhat do you think the word “overboard” means? What clues from the text help you develop or confirm your understanding?\nReached out with desperate hands, he caught hold of the rope and clung to it.\nDown he went under the raging foaming water\nMiraculously he came","cbCaiehNzGypNEWC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiehNzGypNEWC","docx",35387,14,"English","# Unit 1, Week 1: Across the Wide Dark Sea\n## Teacher Instructions: Before Teaching\n### Big Ideas and Key Understandings\n### Synopsis\n## Teacher Instructions: During Teaching\n## Text-Dependent Questions\n## Vocabulary and Text Evidence","[{\"question\":\"How does the mood change as the family reaches land?\",\"answer\":\"The mood shifts from hardship to excitement and relief, supported by details like people going ashore, racing along the beach, and seeing whales.
