Subject: ELA- Reading
Grade: 5
Lesson Objective: To compare and contrast characters in a story using specific details from the text
Common Core Standard: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.5.3- Compare and contrast two or more characters, settings, or events in a story or drama, drawing on specific details in the text (e.g., how characters interact).
Materials:
Printable Student Worksheet
Starter:
Say:
Why do you think that there are different types of characters in stories? (Allow the students to answer.)
Main:
Say:
Authors write about many different types of characters when they write stories. Different characters are needed to tell a story.
Some characters are main characters and we learn a lot about them while we are reading a story. They are very important to the story. The story is often about main characters.
Minor characters are in a story to help the major characters and to help move the story along.
In every story there is a protagonist. This is the character that the story is about and is a main character. The protagonist is a character that we as readers develop emotions about. Those emotions are generally good, but not always.
There is also an antagonist in every story. This is a character that goes against the protagonist. The protagonist must overcome the antagonist. For example, in “Little Red Riding Hood,” Little Red Riding Hood is the protagonist and the wolf is the antagonist. Little Red Riding Hood must overcome the wolf for the story to end.
Most characters in stories develop or change along the way. This is most noticeable in main characters, but this also happens with minor characters.
Paying attention to the character traits of the different characters in a story will help you to identify which characters are major, minor, protagonists and antagonists.
This will help you to better understand and appreciate the story that you are reading.
Now, you are going to read part of a story. You are going to think about the characters and how they are the same and how they are different and then you will answer the questions.
Does anyone have any questions?

Grade: 5
Lesson Objective: To identify the theme of a poem based on details in the text
Common Core Standard: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.5.2- Determine a theme of a story, drama, or poem from details in the text, including how characters in a story or drama respond to challenges or how the speaker in a poem reflects upon a topic; summarize the text.
Materials:

Say:
Why do you think it is important to know the theme of a text that you are reading? (Allow the students to answer.)
Main:
Say:
Knowing the theme of a text helps us to better understand what the text is about and what the author is trying to tell us.
The theme is what the text is about.
When you are figuring out the theme of a text, particularly a poem, you should first look at the title. Sometimes, that tells us what the theme is. If it doesn’t, you should read the text and then think about what the author is saying and the feelings that the author is using.
You can also paraphrase when reading a poem to help you figure out what the author is saying.
After you have figured out the theme of the poem, you should go back and read it again.
This time, you should be thinking about how the author reflects on or speaks about the theme.
Reading the author’s words once you know the theme helps you to focus on the feelings and reflections that the author shares.
You should be noticing the types of words that the author uses and the feelings that those words evoke. Remember, poems are words that are put together to make the reader feel a certain way.
Now, you are going to read a poem. Read the poem two times. The first time you read it, think about what the theme is. The second time you read it, focus on how the author reflects on or talks about theme. Then, you are going to answer the questions.
