UNIT X 58 | UNIT 2 COMMUNICATE Instructional Routine: After You Read p. Txxvi Apply the Reading Strategy: Make Inferences • Use visuals to support comprehension Have students look at the pictures. For each picture, ask: What can you remember about this wonder? How was it formed? Why was it formed? What is mysterious about it? • Use notes to answer questions Ask students to use clues and the facts in their notebooks to answer the questions. A Ask and answer Have students work in pairs to discuss their answers using information from the reading. Have students take notes. ANSWERS Sample answers: Stonehenge: Archeologists think people rolled stones on tree trunks or found a way to float them on the river. Standing Stones: I think people rolled the stones the same way they did to make Stonehenge. Stone Spheres: They were carved with stone tools and fire. Rice Terraces: People used their hands to form the terraces from stone and mud. B Use a graphic organizer Have students complete the graphic organizer in their noteboooks independently. ANSWERS Sample answers: Standing Stones—facts: near a trade route; I know: people from different countries used trade routes; I infer: people used landmarks to help them find their way; Stone Spheres—facts: may have been a symbol of the Sun and Moon; I know: many cultures observed the Sun and Moon; I infer: people felt that the Sun and Moon were very important; Rice Terraces—facts: people might have planted taro before they planted rice; I know: rice is eaten worldwide today; I infer: Taro became less popular than rice. C Exchange information Have students work in pairs to describe their graphic organizer to one another. D Use information Have students use the information in their charts to complete the activity. ANSWERS Sample answers: They might have used Stonehenge to know when to start planting seeds. They might have put the Standing Stones up so they would be visible from far away. They might have used the Stone Spheres in ceremonies. Rice might have earned farmers more money than taro in Ifugao.
