UNIT X UNIT 3 | 99 FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT Write: Journeys Write about a journey you want to take in your life to connect to your roots. Write about how you think the journey might help you connect to your roots. DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION Scaffold Before writing their responses to Activity B, have students work in pairs to discuss and compare their answers. Help students structure their ideas into similarities and differences. Direct students to write down their notes. Amplify Have students compare how the characters in each story adapt to where they live: how the Hastings family survives living in Dust Bowl-era Texas and how Kiki’s family adapted to life in Taos Pueblo. Discuss the Reading A Ask and answer questions Have students work in pairs to discuss the questions. Allow plenty of time for discussion before pairs share their answers with the class. Remind students to point out where in the text they found evidence for their answers to questions 2–7. ANSWERS Sample answers: 1. I predicted that Kiki would feel happier about answering questions about tribes in school. I think I was correct, because now that Kiki knows more about her tribe, she will be more comfortable answering questions or explaining to people that not all Native American tribes are the same. 2. The teacher is talking about Native Americans of California and asks Kiki if she can tell the class about them. Kiki’s tribe isn’t Native Californian, so she says no. 3. Kiki helps knead the dough for oven bread and bake it in an outdoor adobe oven. 4. Kiki is a little embarrassed about going on a tour of the village. She doesn’t want to look like a tourist since her family is from the Pueblo. 5. After the tour, Kiki understands how important the village was to her ancestors. 6. The things in Grandma’s dining room help remind Kiki of the past and understand her connection to the tribe. 7. On a journey, young people can learn about their family history and how they are connected to it. B Compare two texts Have volunteers read the directions and questions aloud. Students read both texts and make notes to answer the questions. Then have students work independently to write answers to the questions. ANSWERS Sample answers: The settings are similar because the ground is dry and dusty in both. The settings are different because the time period is different. Kiki’s story is recent, the other picture shows an event from the 20s-30s. Practice Book pp. 51–53 Assessment Program p. 43 COMMUNICATE PRACTICE Discuss the Reading A Discuss the questions. 1.
