Advance Preparation

For Story Review, invite students to retell their favorite story from this

domain, using the story’s Response Card as a prompt. You may wish to

have small groups work together to sequence each member’s favorite

part of the story by having members in the small group stand in the order

that their favorite parts happen in the story, from left to right, and retell

their favorite part of the story. [Model this procedure as necessary. You

may need to designate different students to talk about the beginning,

middle, and end of the stories.]

Bring in several items made from silk (e.g., scarves, handkerchiefs, or

ties), so that students can describe the look and feel of silk.

Note to Teacher

The activity in the End-of-Lesson Check-In asks students to sequence

and write about the steps making silk. This activity may take longer than

the time allotted for Extensions, so please plan accordingly. To save time,

you may wish to have students sequence the images and orally explain

the steps.
