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\nEarth is one of a kind.  Earth’s unique, fascinating natural features are found across continents.\nSynopsis\n“Hottest, Coldest, Highest, Deepest” takes the reader on a journey around the world to various continents found on Earth that contain unique natural features.  Whether the features are the hottest temperatures found on Earth or the highest mountain. Through the use of text and illustrations, readers are able to grasp the unique diversities found on Earth.\nRead entire main selection text, keeping in mind the Big Ideas and Key Understandings.\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. (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-dependent Questions\nEvidence-based Answers\nReread page 42.  Use information on this page to determine what type of records the author is speaking about.\nThe text states that “there are deserts that haven’t seen rain for hundreds of years and jungles where it pours almost every day.” The text goes on to ask “where are the very hottest and coldest, windiest and snowiest, highest and deepest places on Earth?”  The author thus, is speaking of nature’s record holders rather than human record holders.\nThe Amazon River, in South America is not considered to be the longest river, but is considered to be mightier than the other rivers in the world. Why is the Amazon River considered to be mightier than the others?  (Pg. 43)\n“It is considered mightier because it carries half of all the river water in the world.”\nLook at the illustration of the world in the bottom left hand corner on page 43. What does the pink dot represent and what information does this provide?\nThe pink dot represents the location of the Nile River, which is located in the continent of Africa.  The author gives this information on the title, “The Nile, in Africa, is the longest river in the world.  It is 4,145 miles long.”\nCompare the Nile and the Amazon rivers. Why are these two rivers both noted as being record holders? (Pg. 43)\nThe Nile river is 4,145 miles long and the Amazon River is 4,007 miles long.  They are both two of the longest rivers in the world.\nOn page 44, the author writes about two different lakes, Lake Baikal, in Russia and Lake Superior, in North America. Using the information and evidence given in the text briefly compare and contrast these two lakes.\nBoth lakes set a natural record. Lake Baikal is the oldest and deepest freshwater lake in the world, and Lake Superior is the largest freshwater lake in the world.  In contrast, Lake Baikal contains more water than Lake Superior because of its depth.  “In one spot it is 5,134 feet deep.”\nAccording to the text what mountain is the tallest mountain in the world, if we were not considering sea level measurements? (Pg. 45)\nMauna Kea, in Hawaii.  It is 33,476 feet tall.  Most of the mountain i","cbCaioH381tFmdnS","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioH381tFmdnS","docx",219130,12,"English","# Teacher Instructions\n## Before Teaching\n## During Teaching\n## Text Dependent Questions\n## Evidence-based Answers","[{\"question\":\"What is the big idea for this unit?\",\"answer\":\"Earth is one of a kind, and its unique natural features are found across continents.
