Essential Question(s): How do I support claims by using relevant evidence from the text? What motivates complex characters?

Other considerations (modifications, accommodations, acceleration, etc.): Accommodations: Three students will be reading Winn-Dixie and doing similar assignments. One students will be going at a slower pace while reading Keoko.

Connections (prior learning/prior knowledge): Continuation of strategies used in the prior week such as pre-reading strategies: defining tier 2 vocab words before reading the text, predicting main ideas; reading strategies: asking questions as you read, rereading for comprehension, looking for main ideas and supporting ideas; post reading strategies: answering questions that ask students to recall explicit ideas, infer implicit ideas and summarize. Also students have been taught to use details/examples/quotes to support ideas and develop summaries.
