UNIT X UNIT 5 | 177 DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION Scaffold Use visuals to enhance comprehension. Ask children to draw pictures of birds and butterflies to confirm understanding. Show pictures if necessary. Amplify Challenge children with additional academic terms such as pollination and pollinator. Display a list of pollinators; for example, birds, butterflies, bees, bats, moths, and hummingbirds. Show pictures of each. Discuss how important pollinators and pollination are to keep plants on Earth alive and healthy, including the plants that we grow to eat. • Make inferences Help children make inferences about the importance of birds and insects. For example: How do you think birds, bees, and butterflies take pollen from flower to flower? • Address vocabulary Help children transition from informal vocabulary used in everyday discussions to the more specialized vocabulary used in science articles. • Retell order of events Explain to children that sequence is the order of events in a story. Help children identify the order of events in the story by having them identify stages in the plant’s cycle. • Use words that name sequence Explain that words such as first, then, next, and finally signal the order of events in a story. Then write the sequence words on the board for children to use to retell the events. For example: First, you plant a seed in the soil. Then the seed grows into a plant. Next, flowers bloom on the plant. Then a butterfly carries pollen from flower to flower. Finally, new seeds grow. Check In Respond to wh- questions Give children time to read the questions and find the answers by themselves. Ask children to write the answers down and put down their pencils when they are done. When the whole class has found and written the answers, discuss them as a class. ANSWERS 1. Birds, bees, and butterflies drink nectar. 2.
