UNIT X 296 | UNIT 8 Reading • Recall problems and solutions Ask students to recall the problems and solutions so far. On the board, make a problem/solution (innovation) T-chart. Have students name the problems faced by the first inhabitants of Latin America and the innovations used to solve those problems. • Follow the instructional routine for reading. The following strategies are a sample routine. • Follow oral content Play the audio for pages 296–297. Ask students to listen for general understanding without looking at the text. • Match oral to written words Replay the audio, this time asking students to read along silently, tracking the words as they listen. Remind students to pay special attention to words in bold type. • Build fluency Play the audio a final time. Ask students to do a whisper read along with the audio, trying to match the speaker’s intonation, phrasing, and pace. Pause as necessary and repeat until students are confident. • Identify facts in context Ask students to identify facts on page 296. (They reproduced what they saw; they sought to create even more beauty) Support their understanding that sought means searched for. • Build academic vocabulary Ask students to point out the two glossed words on page 296. To enhance their understanding of reproduced, point out the illustration of weavings and point to the animals in the cloth. Say: What animals are in this weaving? (a bird and a jaguar) Why do you think they wove those animals into the cloth? Support students in understanding that the first inhabitants admired what they saw around them. Then point out the animals in the illustration. • Identify artifacts Write artifact on the board. Explain that an artifact is a product made by people long ago that still exists today. Have students work in pairs to identify artifacts from the images. Ask: Which of these products might still exist today? (Sample answers: stone engravings, jewels) Which of these products might not still exist today? Why? (Sample answers: body decorations – the people are gone; cloth weavings – they have disintegrated) DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION Scaffold Work with students in a small group to help them summarize the text. Provide sticky notes, and have students write one innovation on each sticky note and stick it to the page where it occurs. Then have students use their notes to share the facts of the story with a partner. Amplify Have students choose the innovation they like the most and reproduce it in a drawing. Tell them to personalize the drawing with decorations to make it beautiful. UNIT 5 / CONNECT TO THE THEME The first inhabitants of Latin America admired what they saw. They reproduced what they saw to make sure it would not be forgotten. They reproduced what they saw in clay, in weavings, in drawings, in sculptures, and in stone engravings. The first inhabitants of Latin America sought to create even more beauty. Inspired by nature’s beauty, they looked for ways to create even more beauty. They decorated their bodies with paint and feathers. They created extraordinary jewels out of gold and precious stones. They wove multicolored fabrics and created impressive feather cloaks.
