UNIT X 20 | UNIT 1 DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION Scaffold Play the audio again, pausing frequently so students can take notes in a Venn diagram, with the headings blizzard and thunderstorm, to grasp the information. Model how to listen and take notes. Students can use the graphic organizer as a support for Activity B. Amplify Have students draw a Venn diagram to compare and contrast the weather shown in the two images. Note that students need to include the temperature, clothing, activities, precipitation, etc. Have students take turns in pairs to make statements about the information in their diagrams. Instructional Routine: Oral Language p. Txxvii Listening Strategy: Similarities and Differences Review On the board draw a graphic organizer with the words used to compare and contrast different things. Ask: What words were used in the interview? Have students write their examples in the relevant space on the board. Read the information box. Compare and Contrast A • Preview illustrations Direct students to preview the illustrations. Ask: What do you see? What is the weather like? What activities are the children doing? What is the father doing? Why? What are they wearing? • Identify description words Play the audio, ask students to listen for description words that describe the weather. Direct them to raise their hand every time they hear a description word. EXPLORE AND LEARN SCRIPT Larry: I’ve experienced severe weather two times — one time was a blizzard, and the other was a thunderstorm. Both were very scary! The blizzard happened last winter. The snow was so high, it blocked the front door! The blizzard was very dangerous, and we stayed home from school for two days. The thunderstorm was also dangerous. Like the blizzard, the thunderstorm happened last year. Unlike the blizzard, we didn’t know it was coming. We were in the car when it started. Luckily, we made it home safely. Then we stayed inside. We stayed inside during the blizzard, too. For both storms, we unplugged electronic devices, and we had flashlights and radios ready in case the power went out. We stayed away from the windows during the thunderstorm because there were strong gusts of wind and lightning. However, we watched the blizzard from our window. The snow was beautiful, but the rain wasn’t. Our yard was a muddy mess after the thunderstorm! We had a lot of work to do after the thunderstorm. We picked up broken branches from the yard. We had to work after the blizzard, too. But the work was pretty fun! After we finished shoveling the snow, we had a snowball fight and made a snowman! B Retell to check listening comprehension Have pairs use description words to describe the weather, pointing to corresponding illustrations. Play the audio, this time ask students to listen and complete the sentence options. Students can check their answers in pairs. ANSWERS 1. also; 2. Like; 3. Unlike; 4. but; 5. too; 6.
