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\nThe Sun is the center of our Solar System in which 8 large, diverse planets are positioned in a specific order.\nSynopsis\nThis informational, non-fiction text introduces the solar system and its many parts – the sun, the eight planets, the satellites of the planets, asteroids, comets, and meteoroids.  It includes models that show sizes of the planets relative to the Earth and their distances from the Sun.  The reader learns that the Earth is the only planet with an environment to support humans; therefore, it is the most important planet to us.\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.)\n3.    Students 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\nHow do you know this selection is nonfiction?  What do the title, photos, illustrations, labels, captions, and diagrams in this text tell you about the topic? (p. 230-31, 236-37 and 238-39)\nNonfiction presents facts and information about a topic, such as the planets in the solar system.  The title shows that this selection is about planets in the solar system.  On pages 230-31 there are labeled illustrations of the planets and facts about them.  Pages 236-237 contain photos with captions and pages 238-9 show a diagram of the planets and their positions in orbit.\nAccording to the text, what does the phrase solar system mean? How did it get that name? (p. 232)\nIn the third sentence on page 232, there is a definition that tells what Solar System means.  The clue word “means” comes after Solar System and shows that the rest of the sentence gives the definition.  Solar System means “Sun System.”\nReread pages 230- 232.  What are the two most important parts of the Solar System?  What are the most important details about these parts?\nThe two most important parts of the Solar System are:  the Sun and the eight planets.\nThe planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.\n(Summarizing)\nAccording to the author, when you look at the night sky, what can you do to tell whether you are looking at a star or a planet? Why?\nI can look at the object for a little while to see if it is twinkling.  Stars twinkle, but planets just glow. P.234-235\nA telescope is a tool used to make faraway objects look larger and closer.  Refer to pages 234 and 235.  List the objects in the sky you can see without a telescope.\nYou can see Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, and the moon without a telescope.\nRefer to the text, photos, and captions on pages 236-237 to answer this question.  How are the asteroids and planets alike? How are they different?\nAsteroids and planets both circle the sun.  Asteroids, however, are much smaller than planets.\nOn pages","cbCairwsyv0Ur3JW","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairwsyv0Ur3JW","docx",36733,"English","# Unit 2/Week 4\n## The Planets in Our Solar System\n## Teacher Instructions\n## Big Ideas and Key Understandings\n## Synopsis\n## Text Dependent Questions\n## Answers\n## Key Words Essential to Understanding","[{\"question\":\"How can you tell this selection is nonfiction?\",\"answer\":\"Look for the title, photos, illustrations, labels, captions, and diagrams that present facts.
