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\nClever problem-solving can lead to peaceful solutions\nSynopsis\nIn this folktale, the town of Barletta faces destruction until Zia Concetta asks the town’s giant statue for help.  With a clever idea, help from the townspeople and an onion, the giant outwits the army and restores peace.\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\nAnswers\nReread Pg. 340-341\nWhat can you infer about Zia Concetta from her words and the illustration? Give examples from the text to support your inference.\nThe reader can infer:\n-She’s lived a long life\n-She is used to seeing the statue\n-The statue is like a friend--she refers to the giant as “he” instead of “it”\n-She’s lived in the same place her whole life\n-Judging from her expression, she is kindly\nReread Pg. 343\nWhat conclusion can be drawn about life in Barletta? Support your answer with three details from the text.\nThe reader can conclude that life in Barletta is:\n-It’s peaceful\n-The people are friendly because they greet the giant with a nod or a smile\n-The people seem happy\n-The children play in the square and tell jokes\n-The giant finds it peaceful too\nReread Pg. 344\nCompare and contrast how life changes on page 344 for the townspeople after news of the invading army arrives. Give three examples from the text.\n-Life was peaceful, now it’s fearful\n-Children played and told jokes, now there is shouting and   screaming\n-The doves settled on the giant in the evening, now they’ve disappeared\n-Zia Concetta said good night to the giant every night; now she is silent\nPg. 346\nIn the first sentence on 346, Zia calls the statue Colosso. What words in the text help you to understand what this Italian word means? Recall a word from Dogzilla that is similar to this word.\nColosso means:\n- “Huge statue”\n- “with your size I’m sure you could frighten them away” indicating the statue is very big\n-The word “colossal”\nPg. 348\nRead paragraph two on page 348 and note the sequence of events. Identify the three words in the text that indicate sequencing or instructions.\nThe three words are:\n-First\n-Second\n-Third\nReread Pg. 351\nThe invading army captain demands to know why the giant is crying. He says , “No tricks now-- answer me!” Why is this line funny? Use evidence from the text to explain your answer.\nThe line is funny because Zia Concetta and the giant’s plan to rid the town of the invading army requires trickery:\n-The giant uses onions to make himself cry\n-He claims that boys in town call him small and weak\nReread Pg. 352-353\nRecall what the invading army was doing to other towns on page 344.  Is the outcome the same in Barletta?
