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\nGood things can happen when a community works together.\nThings do not always turn out as expected.\nSynopsis\nA young boy, Peter, is hesitant to spend the summer with his great aunt in Chinatown.  Peter finds an aging parade dragon in a store and, in restoring it, learns to connect with the dragon and the Chinese community.\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 Under Consideration\nText Dependent Questions\nAnswers\nReread pg. 455 and 460\nOn page 455, the dragon is described as blind and speechless.  What details from the text support this description?\nThe dragon is speechless because “his jaws had been wired tightly shut” (pg. 455). The dragon is blind because he has “no eyes at all” (pg. 460).\nReread pg. 456\nWhat do Peter’s mother’s words tell you about her opinion of family?\nThe mother thinks family is important.  She states, “She’s my oldest, wisest aunt.  You must get to know her.”\nReread pg. 456\nAt the beginning, Peter has a negative attitude.  What evidence from the story supports this statement?\n*Peter did not agree.  “He didn’t want to spend his summer in a small apartment above a noodle factory.”\n*“He missed his parents.  He missed his friends.  Everything in Chinatown seemed old and alien and strange.”\nReread pg. 459, 460, 463\ndoubtful, grumbled, homage\nWhat phrases from the story tell you that Great Aunt was doubtful about the dragon?\n* “A very sad dragon if you ask me.” (pg. 459)\n* “She grumbled about how the dragons of her childhood were royal in appearance and received the homage of every living thing.  This was no such creature.” (pg. 459)\n* “Full of holes.  Tail in bad shape.” (pg. 460)\n* “A very sorry dragon, if you ask me.” (pg. 460)\n* “This sorry creature has robbed us of our afternoon.” (pg. 463)\nThese phrases show the reader that she does not believe this dragon is as good as the dragons from her past and memory.\npg. 459, 463, 465, 478\nThroughout the story, the characters state that “there’s something about” this dragon.  Explain what the characters mean by this using the text to support your answer.\nThe characters mean that even though the dragon is tattered and old there is still something special about the dragon that makes people want to improve it.  For example, even with bug skeletons and dust on the dragon, Peter still strokes the dragon’s whiskers (pg. 459).  Mr. Pang also recognizes how special the dragon is when he rubs the dragon’s body and feels the warm silk.  He then decides to help improve the dragon for free (pg. 463).  Miss Rose Chiao agrees that there is something about the dragon and also agrees to help without pay (pg. 465).
