Why was he or she brave?  \nAccept and briefly discuss responses.  \nWhat is one thing a brave person might do? Can anyone think of another word for brave?  \nSTaTe objecTive/purpoSe  \nTeacher:  \nToday we are going to create a semantic map. Researchers tell us that knowledge is stored in your brain in categories or groups. Words in your memory are linked to other words based on their relationships. So, if you can connect a new word with a word you already know, you will be better able to remember the new word. I’m going to show you how to go through this process today by developing a semantic map. First, I want to introduce you to our story.  \nThe Reading Teacher’s Sourcebook 145  \nWe will read The Ghost of the Lagoon by Armstrong Sperry. This is a story about a courageous boy, Mako, who lives on the island of Bora Bora. An island is a piece of land surrounded by what? Yes, water. What are some bodies of water that could surround an island?  \nAccept responses. When a student gives the answer “sea,” write “SEA” on the board (or overhead) or just tell the students that in this story the island is in the sea.  \nmodel and Teach   \nGenre: Narrative or expository  \nGrouping: Whole class  \n1. Ask students to brainstorm or think of words related to the sea. List all of the words on one-half of the board (or overhead) . Write down all appropriate student responses.  \nAsk questions to lead students to say target words from the story. For example, if you want students to add risk to the list, you might ask,“Sara, you said the sea could be dangerous. What is another word for danger?” If you want to add harpoon, you might ask,“Does anyone know the name of a spear used to kill sea animals?”  \nSome target words may be unknown to students. Add unfamiliar words to the list and give a brief definition for each.  \nHere is what the board (or overhead) might look like at this point:  \nFigure 57.
