1 Grade 5 TEXT INTRODUCTIONS AND PROCEDURE Sharing Background Knowledge: Read the title and the text prompt. Students talk in pairs or triads. Then follow up with a whole class/group discussion. Keep the sharing to less than 20 minutes. After Sharing: Teacher reads the questions on the student response sheet aloud to the group. Text Prompts: Loony Lodgings* This text is about hotels that are really different. Based on the title and your background knowledge, what are you wondering or thinking about? What do you know about hotels? How are some hotels designed in a unique way with the hope to attract customers? What is special about some hotels? Shackleton s Antarctic Adventure* This text is about some explorers who had an adventure in Antarctica a long time ago. Based on the title and your background knowledge, what are you wondering or thinking about? Where is Antarctica? Think about what you know about the conditions down there and what sort of adventure might occur. What might happen if you went there? The Pacific Ring of Fire* This text is about the Ring of Fire, an area of Earth that has most of the earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis. Based on the title and your background knowledge, what are you wondering or thinking about? Discuss these three natural disasters. House and Home* This text is about the types of traditional homes used by the Aboriginal peoples of Canada. Based on the title and your background knowledge, what are you wondering or thinking about? What do you already know about the types of homes used by Aboriginal peoples? *After the text prompt discussion, remind students who have significant background knowledge on a topic to reference the information in THIS text when answering the assessment questions. 1
2 *Earthquakes: Terrific Trembling The Pacific Ring of Fire Selection 3 Every year, more than a million earthquakes shake the Earth. Eighty percent of the earthquakes happen along the Ring of Fire belt. Some earthquakes are small and harmless. The ground shakes a little, causing some hanging objects to sway. But sometimes the shaking is so strong that buildings crumble, bridges collapse, and large cracks open in the ground. The Alaska earthquake of March 27, 1964, was felt over an area of almost 500,000 square miles. The ground motion near the epicenter was so violent that the tops of some trees were snapped off. One hundred and fourteen people (some as far away as California) died as a result of this earthquake. Experts expect a major earthquake to happen on the west coast of North America. New buildings are constructed to handle the movement of an earthquake, but many older buildings, including schools, will probably collapse unless they are rebuilt.* 2003 by Evan-Moor Corp.

Accuracy Independent (98-100%) Instructional (95-97%) Frustration (<95%) (Use lower level text) Percentage Miscues Fluency halting careful fluent expressive phrasing often not in meaningful groups phrasing for meaning is inconsistent; wordby-word short phrases; mix of short and longer phrases; uses punctuation longer phrases; consistent use of punctuation Strategy Use: Make a note if student pauses while reading. After reading, ask When you paused here, what were you thinking? (Teacher checks appropriate boxes below and/or writes notes) Note: Proficient readers may not pause and strategy use may be subconscious. You do not need to do a running record on these students after the first diagnostic assessment. Learning to Read Strategies: I stop when meaning is lost I stop when it doesn t sound right I stop when it doesn t look right I look for little words inside bigger words I look for chunks I know I reread I skip, read on, and then go back I self-correct Reading Comprehension Strategies: I think about what I already know (Access Background Knowledge) I make connections I make a picture in my head (Visualize) I ask questions I find the important ideas I read between the lines (Infer) I change my thinking (Synthesize) I use text features Teacher Notes: 4
5 The Pacific Ring of Fire Selection 3 You are on a sailing trip. You sail from New Zealand to Indonesia to Japan. From Japan, you sail to Alaska. From Alaska, you sail down the west coasts of North and South America. You just sailed an area called the Ring of Fire. The Ring of Fire is a long, horseshoe-shaped area along the rim of the Pacific Ocean. It is 40,000 kilometers long. The Ring of Fire is where most of the world s volcanoes and earthquakes are located. Volcanoes can also happen when magma breaks through cracks in the plates. Figure 1: One plate slides over or under the other plate. Figure 2: Plates move past each other. The edges of the plates grind together. Plates on the Earth The Earth s surface is broken into huge slabs of rock called plates. Underneath the plates, the earth is very hot. It is so hot that rock melts into a liquid called magma. The plates are like giant rafts that float on top of this liquid magma. The magma is always moving, dragging the plates around with it. These plates are in constant slow motion. Sometimes, the plates collide or push past each other. This causes movement. Movements of plates cause faults, or large breaks, in the Earth s crust. Earthquakes happen along those faults by Evan-Moor Corp. Figure 3: The plates move apart, making a gap where the magma seeps out. RING OF FIRE NATURAL DISASTERS * Earthquakes: Terrific Trembling Every year, more than a million earthquakes shake the Earth. Eighty percent of the earthquakes happen along the Ring of Fire belt. Some earthquakes are small and harmless. The ground shakes a little, causing some hanging objects to sway. But sometimes the shaking is so strong that buildings crumble, bridges collapse, and large cracks open in the ground. The Alaska earthquake of March 27, 1964, was felt 5

One hundred and fourteen people (some as far away as California) died as a result of this earthquake. Experts expect a major earthquake to happen on the west coast of North America. New buildings are constructed to handle the movement of an earthquake, but many older buildings, including schools, will probably collapse unless they are rebuilt. * Tsunamis: Walls of Water Tsunamis occur when an earthquake causes the ocean floor to rise or sink, displacing water and creating a series of large waves. Volcanoes: Enormous Explosions There are about 1,500 active volcanoes on Earth. About half of those occur along the Ring of Fire. Volcanoes usually erupt along the edges of plates, where there are cracks and thin spots. A volcano can cause an explosion of extremely hot, poisonous gasses. The explosion can be so powerful that it knocks over entire forests, and so hot that it starts destructive fires. Sometimes huge chunks of rock burst from the volcano. Mountainsides can be ripped away. Ash and melted rock shoot into the sky. The volcano erupts with unbelievable power! Deaths Volcano When Major Cause of Death 92,000 36,417 29,025 Tambora, Indonesia Krakatau, Indonesia Mt. Pelee, Martinique 1815 Starvation 1883 Tsunami 1902 Ash flows Tsunamis are the largest waves in the world. These giant waves can travel thousands of miles. They can travel up to 500 miles per hour! As they get closer to shore they slow down and get much taller. Tsunamis can be as high as a football field is long. The tsunami of December 26, 2004 killed an estimated 221,100 people in South Asia. Over 166,000 were killed or swept out to sea in Indonesia alone. An earthquake off the west coast of Canada could produce a similar tsunami. 25,000 Ruiz, Colombia 1985 Mudflows Scientists are trying to learn as much as they can about these violent events along the Ring of Fire. If they can predict these natural disasters, thousands of lives could be saved by Evan-Moor Corp. 6
