Ask students to explain how turtles reproduce, where they lay their eggs, what they do after they lay their eggs, and how baby turtles survive and grow after they hatch. Have them describe the sequence of important moments in the life of the turtle, from the moment it hatches, to when it lays the eggs. Then, encourage them to think about the effect of the use of language in the poem. El poema contiene palabras que riman, ejemplos de personificación, símiles e imágenes que se refieren a nuestros sentidos. ¿Eso les hace más fácil o más difícil imaginarse el mundo de la tortuga? ¿Por qué? Have students share and compare their answers on El buscalotodo poético 2 (Graphic Organizer #37). Make sure students use the Tier Two words presented from the text. Write some of their answers on the board. Make sure they clearly understand what personification and similes are and their effect in a descriptive text or narrative poem. Also, check that they can properly identify images that refer to the five senses and the sequence of events in the poem. sCienCe ConneCtion Padres e hijos Materials: • poster board (1 per team) • crayons or colored pencils Divide the class into small teams. Before beginning the activity, each team should write their own answer to the following questions: ¿Qué animales cuidan más a sus bebés? ¿Qué bebés se enfrentan a más dificultades cuando acaban de nacer? After they have written down their predictions, each team will do online research about 5 species of animals that are born from an egg, like the turtle, and 5 species that are born by live birth. They will read and observe pictures of parents and their offspring for each species, and gather basic information about them. Then, they will determine whether the answers they wrote down were correct. If they were not, they will write down the correct answer. Finally, they will create a poster board with pictures to present how adults from different species take care of their offspring, and how newborn animals overcome difficulties in the earliest moments of their lives. writing El viaje de la tortuga Remind students of the essential question: ¿Qué importancia tiene el comportamiento de los animales en la supervivencia de sus crías? Tell them they are going to create a short narrative piece of writing about the life of a turtle. Ask students to write a short story about the life of a turtle from birth to the moment when it lays eggs. Remind them to give the main character a name, and to give their story an engaging title. Encourage them to use their Tier Two words and to draw three images: one that refers to the five senses, one to personification, and one to a simile. You may want to provide them with transition words and phrases, such as primero, luego, unos años más tarde, and finalmente.
