Subject: ELA- Reading
Grade: 5
Lesson Objective: To explain what part of a text about plants and animal cells means while drawing inferences about that text
Common Core Standard: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.5.1- Quote accurately from a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.
Materials:
Printable Student Worksheet
Starter:
Say:
Why do you think that drawing inferences is something that you need to do? (Allow the students to answer.)
Main:
Say:
We all draw inferences when we are reading. It is important to be able to draw inferences because many times you need to be able to draw a conclusion based on information that has not been stated.
Drawing an inference is also called reading between the lines and you do it when you are reading and when you are having a conversation with someone.
In science texts, you are often given many details and a lot of information. You need to be able to understand that information and draw conclusions about what is being stated.
For example, you might read a text that says that there were pieces of an egg found in a nest. What inference would you make?
You would infer that a bird had hatched out of the egg that was in the nest.
In science texts, it is important to understand the difference between an observation and an inference. An observation is something that someone has seen and then written about.
Scientists use inferences all of the time, especially when they are learning about something that they cannot actually see or touch, like fossils or outer space.
Now, you are going to read a paragraph about a science topic. While you are reading, pay attention to the details and to any inferences that you might be drawing while you read. Then, you will answer the questions.
Does anyone have any questions?

Subject: ELA- Reading
Grade: 5
Lesson Objective: To compare and contrast fairytales, including the theme and details in them
Common Core Standard: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.5.9- Compare and contrast stories in the same genre (e.g., mysteries and adventure stories) on their approaches to similar themes and topics.
Materials:
Printable Student Worksheet
Starter:
Say:
Do you enjoy reading fairytales? Why or why not? (Allow the students to answer.)
Main:
Say:
A fairytale is a story written for children that has magic or imaginary beings and lands. Fairytales are meant to be entertaining.
All fairytales have certain elements that are the same. They begin with “Once upon a time…” and end with “And they lived happily ever after.”
There is always a good character and an evil character. One of the characters in the fairytale is usually royalty, such as a prince, princess, king or queen. One of the characters is usually poor or from a poor working family.
Another element of a fairytale is that something magical happens. There might be a spell cast, animals talking or fairies, trolls or elves.
Fairytales have a problem that needs to be solved. Generally, it takes three tries to solve the problem.
Numbers or patterns are also common in fairytales. Usually things, phrases or tasks appear in “threes” or “sevens.”
Other common themes or things you will see in a fairytale are talking animals or objects, sleep, human weakness (greed, laziness) and human strengths (kindness, generosity, patience) and impossible tasks.
Now, you are going to read two fairytales. While you are reading them, think about how they are the same and how they are different. Think about the different elements of a fairytale and which elements they have. Then, you will fill in the table.
Does anyone have any questions?

Say:
Who would like to share their answers? What aspects of the fairy tales are the same? What aspects are different? (Allow the students to share and go over the answers.)
