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\nMoney is important.  How much or how little money we have affects our lives.  Learning the value of saving money allows us\nto make choices in purchasing things we need or want.\nSynopsis\nThis is a story about Saruni, a young boy and his family, who were both consumers and sellers in a market in Tanzania. If they had a productive day at the market, Saruni’s mother gave him 5 cents for helping her. There were many enticing items at the markert, but after seeing a row of neat and sparkling bicycles, Saruni decided to save his money so he could buy one. Not only did he want one for his own enjoyment, but also so he could help his mother take heavy loads to sell at the market. In the end he is disappointed that he does not have enough money to buy a bike from the market. He finally tells his mom of his plan, and we can infer that she tells his dad because his dad comes home with one for him.\nDuring Teaching\nStudents read the entire main selection text independently.\nTeacher reads the main selection text aloud with students following along.\n(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\nAnswers\nAfter a good day in the market, how much money did the Saruni’s mother, Yeyo, give her son? (Pg. 122)\nSaruni was given five whole ten-cent coins\nUsing the illustrations in the text, (pgs. 121-129), what clues tell you that the story takes place in another culture?\nDifferent coins page 121\nBaskets of produce page 121\nWomen’s Clothing  styles page 123\nBicycles as mode of transportation pages 123 and 129\nTransporting produce on women’s heads Pages 123 and 126\nEthnicity page 123\nShelter has thatched roof page 128\nReread page 122. Based on evidence in the text, explain why the author italicized the words, chapatti and sambusa?\nSaruni could purchase items such as chapatti and sambusa. These words are italicized because they are in another language. The italics also help to draw attention to them.\nOn page 122, what evidence does the author provide to show that Saruni was excited about buying something at the market with his coins? Use specific words from the text in your answer.\nThe author says Saruni “plunged into the market”, his heart “beat excitedly”, he thought that he “wanted to buy everything”, and he “clutched” his coins tightly in his pocket, as if he was afraid he would lose them.\nHow does the author describe the bicycles that Saruni sees at the market? How does this “sight” persuade Saruni to want to spend his coins on a bike?\nSaruni sees the bicycles standing off in their own little world, away from the other market goods. He describes them as being in a neat row and sparkling. In particular, he sees one that is decorated with red and blue. The exclamation point at the end of his sentence shows his excitement. He said, “That’s what I would buy!”\nRead the following line from page 124, “By the dim light of a lantern, I feasted my eyes on the money. I couldn’t believe it was all mine.” In ","cbCaiimeU6btPQHj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiimeU6btPQHj","docx",40871,13,"English","# Unit 1 / Week 5: My Rows and Piles of Coins\n## Suggested schedule and standards\n## Teacher instructions\n## Big Ideas and Key Understandings\n## Synopsis\n## During Teaching\n## Text Dependent Questions\n## Answers","[{\"question\":\"How much money did Saruni’s mother give him after a good day in the market?\",\"answer\":\"She gave him five whole ten-cent coins for helping her.\"},{\"question\":\"What clues show the story takes place in another culture?\",\"answer\":\"Details such as different coins, produce baskets, women’s clothing styles, bicycles as transportation, transporting produce on women’s heads, and shelter with a thatched roof indicate a different culture.\"},{\"question\":\"Why did the author italicize the words chapatti and sambusa?\",\"answer\":\"They are italicized because they are in another language, and the formatting helps draw attention to them.\"}]","My Rows and Piles of Coins - Lesson 3 - Basal | DOCX",1792132329,33]
