Say: This morning I did things before I came to school. I ate breakfast. I brushed my teeth. (Act out eating and brushing your teeth.) This happened in the past—an earlier time. Point to the clock. Draw a dot on the board. Say: I was born many years ago. Draw another dot and arrows pointing back. Say: My mother was born in the past. Add a hand gesture motioning backward. Next, contrast this with the word present. Write present on the board. Say: Right now we are in English class. At this moment. We are in the present. Point to yourself, students, and the clock. Write the current time. Amplify Share the same concrete comparison of past and present from the Scaffold section. Point out the stress on the first syllable of present. Stretch out the sounds so the short vowel /e/ can be heard. Say: PREsent. This word is about time. It means something that happens now. That same word, present, can mean a gift, as in I get a present for my birthday. That is called a homograph (spelled the same, but different meaning). On the other hand, this word can also be spelled the same but pronounced differently: preSENT (stress the second syllable). When pronounced that way, it means sharing or giving a report. That is also called a homograph (spelled the same, but different pronunciation). Instructional Routine: Vocabulary p. Txxv Instructional Routine: Reading p. Txxi Essential question: What is social studies? Ask students to answer the essential question. Offer prompts as needed (study places and cultures, use a map, study history, etc.). Academic vocabulary Use the vocabulary routine to teach the words social studies, source, information, and inquiry. Add them to the academic word wall. Introduction to social studies • This content section focuses on introducing students to social studies concepts and the vocabulary needed to access social studies concepts. • Read the text aloud or play the audio. Explain the word clue (something that helps a person find something, understand something, or solve a mystery). Ask students to view the pictures. Offer sufficient wait time for them to carefully view each image. • Speak, read, and write about social studies Inquire about students’ prior experiences with social studies (studied in school? know about history or geography?). Guide students through the inquiry process. Verbalize as you go through each question together. Use the first picture as a model. Say: In the first picture, I see an old structure, a pyramid. Who and what do you see? (man holding something, people, ropes) What are the people doing? (pushing stones, working) Where is this? (a desert, Egypt) Does the picture show the past or present? Explain past and present (see differentiation below for example). Have students continue following the inquiry process for the next three photos.
