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 extreme conditions at the poles require extreme measure by scientists and researchers in order to unlock the secrets these poles hold to the evolution and history of our Earth\nSynopsis\nIn this nonfiction story, readers learn how and why scientists brave the extreme conditions of both poles in order to do research that will help us learn more about our world.\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\nAccording to the text and the captions on page 142 and 143, where are the North and South Poles?\nThe North Pole is located in the middle of the Arctic Ocean. The South Pole is at the bottom of our planet on the continent of Antarctica.\nUsing specific details from the text, compare and contrast the North and South Poles. (Pgs. 142-143)\nBoth are covered by ice\nBoth are cold\nThe North Pole is in the middle of an ocean\nThe South Pole is on the continent of Antarctica\nThe South Pole is the coldest place on Earth\nReread page 143. Using context clues, can you decode what “isolated” means? What detail is given that suggests Antarctica is isolated?\nIsolated means something is separate or far away from other things. Antarctica is isolated so much that no human had even seen the continent until 200 years ago.\nReread page 144. What evidence is given to show these places are cold and extreme?\nIn fall, the sun sets and doesn’t rise again for the entire winter. Months later it shines 24 hours a day all summer long. Very little snow falls in either place, when it does it freezes to ice. Some places in the ice are up to 3 miles thick.\nThe ice in the middle of the Arctic and on Antarctica moves very slowly from the middle to the coast. What can happen to the ice when it reaches the coast? Can you infer from the text how long it has taken the ice to move? (Pg. 145)\nWhen ice moves to the coast, pieces break off and become icebergs. It can be inferred that it has taken 100,000 years to move from the center to the edge.\nA Ping Pong ball is small and white. Refer back to the text to explain why pilots say that flying to the poles is “like flying in a Ping Pong ball?” (Pg. 146)\n“The wind kicks up and the snow blows around. It is hard to know where the sky ends and the land begins.”\nFind evidence on pages 146 that would explain why pilots change the way they fly when flying into and out of polar regions?\nMany of the navigational instruments normally used to guide the plane won’t work there—they fly using the stars.\nUsing the text and captions on page 147, explain what accommodations pilots have to make when landing at the poles?\nPilots use skis instead of tires to","cbCaiq3bej2UO5Nv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiq3bej2UO5Nv","docx",41698,12,"English","# Teacher Instructions\n## Before Teaching\n## During Teaching\n## Text Dependent Questions\n## Evidence-based Answers","[{\"question\":\"Where are the North and South Poles located?\",\"answer\":\"The North Pole is located in the middle of the Arctic Ocean, while the South Pole is at the bottom of Earth on the continent of Antarctica.\"},{\"question\":\"What evidence shows the poles are cold and extreme?\",\"answer\":\"The lesson notes that in fall the sun sets and does not rise again for the winter, then later shines 24 hours a day all summer.
