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\nAn animal’s habitat determines its physical characteristics and behaviors.\nSynopsis\nIn this nonfiction selection, an Emperor penguin lays an egg in the bitter cold of Antarctica.  The penguin parents battle the harsh environment to protect the egg and nurture the chick to maturity.\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.\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 (e.g., whole class discussion, think-pair-share, independent written response, group work, etc.)\nText Dependent Questions\nText Dependent Questions\nAnswers\nThe author uses the word fierce to describe the wind and the word whip to describe how the snow moved.\nWhat do these two words mean?\nWhat do these 2 sentences tell us about the environment in which this story takes place?\nFierce - Extremely severe or violent\nWhip - To strike with repeated strokes\nThe environment is harsh, extreme, dangerous.\nA female penguin lays an egg on the ice in Antarctica.  The father tucks the egg into a special place called a brood patch. Why does the author compare the brood patch to a sleeping bag? (Pg. 92)\nThe brood patch is snug and warm and keeps the egg safe.  Thick cover; type of shelter\nWhy does the father stay with the egg instead of the mother? (Pg. 93)\nThe mother has to travel to sea to find food.  The penguin father is bigger and fatter than the mother and can also live longer without food.\nThe penguins lay their eggs on the ice where there is no food.  In your own words, describe where the mother goes for food and the kind of food she hunts for once she gets there. (Pg. 94)\nTo get food, the mother has to travel to the end of the ice. Because it is winter, the ice stretches for a very long distance. It takes the mother 3 days to reach the open water. She dives into the water to hunt for fish, squid, and krill.\nBased on what you know from the story, what is a rookery? What happens at a rookery?\nA rookery is a place where many birds go to lay their eggs.\nThe author writes that the father penguins form a huddle. In your own words, what does it mean to huddle? Why do the fathers form a huddle at the rookery?\nHuddle means “to crowd together.”\nThe father penguins huddle at the rookery to keep warm.\nWhat are some details that show how the father penguin takes care of the egg? (Pg. 97)\nThe father penguin keeps the egg on his feet for 2 months.  He shuffles when walks so the egg doesn’t roll away.  He sleeps standing up.  He has no food to eat.\nWhat words does the author use to help you picture the penguin chick? (Pg 99)\nWet, soft, dry, fluffly, gray, little, warm\nTo what is the father’s voice compared? Based on what you know about this object, what does this tell you about how he talks to his penguin chick? (Pgs. 99-100)\nThe father’s call is loud and can reach the mother across the ice.\nReread page 1","cbCaisxTOR2JwxsU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisxTOR2JwxsU","docx",35146,"English","# Teacher Instructions\n## Before Teaching\n## During Teaching\n## Text Dependent Questions\n## Vocabulary","[{\"question\":\"What big idea and key understanding does the lesson focus on?\",\"answer\":\"The lesson focuses on the idea that an animal’s habitat determines its physical characteristics and behaviors.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the father penguin protect the egg in the story?\",\"answer\":\"The father tucks the egg into a brood patch, keeps it on his feet for about two months, shuffles so it doesn’t roll away, and sleeps standing up.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the penguin chick’s life change as he grows older?\",\"answer\":\"As he grows, he spends most of his time in the crèche or nursery and becomes able to move independently, including digging his beak into ice and tobogganing.\"}]","Penguin Chick - Unit 1, Week 4 - Basal Lesson | DOCX",1792132331,15]
