Keep a chart of vocabulary words introduced throughout the unit and expect students to use the bold words in collaborative conversations and written responses to text. Text, Reader, and Task Considerations This lesson is an introduction to the unit. Although most of this unit is designed around the study of animal camouflage, it’s important for students to understand the other traits that keep animals safe in their environment. These pages do not mention the word “camouflage” but you may want to introduce camouflage when reading about animals blending into their environment.

(RF.2.4b) LONG BEACH UNIFED SCHOOL DISTRICT Put students in groups of two to discuss the following essential question: ¿Cómo se mantienen seguros los animales? Bring students back together and have them share their ideas to the question. Read aloud the entire text without stopping in order for students to get the “gist” of the selection. Explain to students that you are starting a unit on animal camouflage and will be reading about real animals and animal characters to build understanding about how animals stay safe in their environments. Review what informational text is and its purpose (It’s real, has facts, and gives the reader information). Tell students that an author writes with a purpose, (e.g., to answer, to explain, to describe, to provide an opinion) using details and illustrations. Review with students that informational texts often include features such as headings, illustrations, captions, and words that are bold-faced. These features are helpful when trying to clarify information not originally understood or to gain more information. Read the text Animal Traits (Science text, p.104-109) as students follow along on their own. Engage students in the following text-dependent questions: Mirando la ilustración en la página 102-103, ¿qué información puedes obtener acerca de las cebras? ¿En qué se parecen y en qué son diferentes las cebras? ¿Por qué crees que las cebras tienen diferentes patrones en las rayas? Vuelve a leer las páginas 104-105. ¿Cuál es la idea principal en estas dos páginas?

Usando las ilustraciones en la páginas 106-107, ¿En qué se parecen los osos? ¿En qué son diferentes? ¿Por qué el mismo tipo de animal se parece diferente dependiendo en donde vive??

Based on the needs of your students, they may work independently, with a partner, in a small group, or as a whole class to create a Tree Map they will use for support in discussion and writing to the focus question. • Collaborative discussion and oral processing (select activities based on the needs of your students) Have students work in pairs or small groups to discuss their answer to the focus question. Remind students that based on what they hear, they can ask for clarification to help them understand. Students should orally rehearse how they will turn their notes into complete sentences to answer the focus question. • Writing to Text: Have students write a response to the focus question in their Learning Logs.

Introduce the overall structure of informational writing as presenting a topic, developing the topic with facts and definitions, and provide a concluding statement or section. Have students in partners discuss how informational texts differ from fiction.

Take this opportunity to point out that this is a type of camouflage that you will discuss further as you continue the unit. Keep a chart of vocabulary words introduced throughout the unit and expect students to use the bold words in collaborative conversations and written responses to text. Text, Reader, and Task Considerations This text is structured to provide information about different animal traits with simple structure and vocabulary. Each paragraph concludes with a selfto-self connection about the trait discussed. Although the text may focus on one area of the trait’s benefit (i.e., big ears for staying cool), encourage students to connect the traits to how it might protect the animals (i.e., big ears to hear predators). The use of a stacked Bridge map will be used to gather evidence and students may need support in being able to read the map.

Ask students for their reaction to the information about what the text is saying about animal traits. Tell students that an author writes using reasons to support key points in the text. Explain that reading like detectives means identifying the key points and, explaining how the author uses reasons to support the key points. Remind students that authors also use illustrations or photographs as a way to support the key points in the text. Tells students that they will use a stacked Bridge map to look at the relationship between each animal’s trait and how it helps them to survive. Model adding evidence to the stacked Bridge using the information about the fennec fox. Provide an example of how to read from the map: Ejemplo: “Un zorro tiene oídos que lo ayudan a sobrevivir al oír a su presa.” Engage students in following text dependent questions for each of the animals on pages 112-117: ¿Qué rasgos tiene el ______para ayudarse a estar a salvo? ¿Cómo mayormente usa el ________ su rasgo? Usando el texto y las fotografías, ¿qué razones usa el autor para apoyar el punto clave del rasgo ________? ¿Qué otra información aprendes acerca de cada animal en las leyendas? ¿Cómo lo ayuda ese rasgo a sobrevivir?

How does the animal camouflage? Why does it camouflage? Gathering Evidence Explain to students that today they will be rereading the text to gather and organize details to help them answer the focus question. Students create a Tree Map with the different ways to camouflage as the subheadings (See map to the right). In order to scaffold the learning, explain that the students should revisit their Learning Logs as a way to define the different ways. Have students share out their answers. Students may add anything they didn’t have to their maps. As a class, use the Frame of Reference to answer the question: What message or lesson does this story teach?

Los animales usan el camuflaje para esconderse tanto de los depredadores como de sus presas incautas. Algunos de los métodos más exitosos del camuflaje son las MEZCLAS (del color natural del animal los fósforos o las mezclas con sus alrededores), el CAMBIO DE COLOR (el cambio de color en el animal es para que coincida con su ambiente), el DISFRAZ (el animal parece otro animal u objeto) y el PATRÓN (las manchas o rayas del animal dividen forma).
