UNIT X 60 | UNIT 2 DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION Scaffold Play the audio again, pausing frequently so students can grasp the information. Students can use the chart you created on the board and inference words as a support for Activity B. Amplify • Have students draw a Venn diagram to compare and contrast Stonehenge with Manhattanhenge. • Using this as an example, students can draw an illustration that compares an ancient world wonder with something that happens in their neighborhood or community. Instructional Routine: Oral Language p. Txxvii Listening Strategy: Listen for Inference • Review On the board, draw a chart with three headings: Facts from photo or text, What I know, and What I infer. Read the information box and discuss the inferences students have made in this unit. • Preview images Have students preview the image. Say: What do you see? What is the world wonder like? Why is this seen as a world wonder? Explain the labels. Encourage students to support their answers. A Guided Tour A • Listen actively Play the audio once for students to listen for general understanding. • Identify description words Play the audio again, this time asking students to raise their hands if they hear some information that they would like to add to the chart on the board. Students complete the chart. EXPLORE AND LEARN SCRIPT Guide: Here we are in Manhattan, New York City. We’re going to watch the sunset and see something really special. Mom: Come on, Dora. Let’s follow the guide. Dora: OK. [footsteps] Guide: Has anyone heard of Stonehenge? Dora: I have! We learned about it in school. Guide: Great. Well, we’re going to see Manhattanhenge. At Stonehenge, the Sun sets over the top of one of the rocks on the longest day. Then it sets on the opposite side of the rocks on the shortest day. Can you see what’s happening here as you look at the tall buildings? Dora: I think the Sun is setting between the buildings. Guide: You’re right. Do you know how many times a year it happens? Dora: Hmm… it might happen two times. Guide: That’s right. Twice a year, the Sun sets directly between the buildings as you look west down the street. It happens at the end of May, and it also happens now—in the middle of July. The longest day of the year is June 21. TheSun’s path lines up with the direction of those New York City streets. So the Sun appears to set between the buildings about three weeks before the longest day and three weeks after. Dora: That’s so cool! B Make inferences Play the audio again, this time asking students to listen and complete the sentence options with inference words. Students can check their answers in pairs. ANSWERS 1. think; 2. might PRACTICE buildings sunset line up between LISTENING STRATEGY Listen for Inference Listen for words that people use to make inferences. I think . . . It might . . . It probably . . . These words show that people are making guesses based on information they have and information they know. A Guided Tour A Listen to a tour guide talk about Manhattanhenge. B Listen again. Write the words Dora uses to make inferences. 1. I the Sun is setting between the buildings. 2. It happen two times a year.
