How do people use their senses to experience the world?

SUMMARY

The Five Senses harnesses kindergarten students’ natural curiosity, enticing them to use their senses of hearing, sight, smell, taste, and touch to explore and experience the wonder of the larger world around them. Colorful, engaging, and content-rich module texts introduce students to new characters and settings as they engage their senses and build new knowledge to answer the Essential Question: How do people use their senses to experience the world?

The module begins with Jane Morris Udovic’s poem “Nature’s Treasures” and Paul Cézanne’s painting Apples. Both texts introduce students to the idea that the senses allow people to fully experience their surroundings, whether they taste sweet fruit or feel drops of cold rain on their faces. Using the senses to experience joy in daily life is a common theme in other texts throughout the module. The organization of Aliki’s My Five Senses helps students understand that people can use their senses separately or together to enhance their awareness of the world. In the same way that senses work in tandem, students learn that words and illustrations help readers understand the meaning of a text. By studying Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s painting Children’s Games, students learn that they can use their senses to connect with an artist’s subject matter in this piece, sixteenth-century children playing raucously. In Matt de la Peña’s Last Stop on Market Street, Christian Robinson’s colorful illustrations support de la Peña’s narrative of a boy’s journey through the city with his wise grandmother. Along the way, the boy’s grandmother helps him learn to appreciate the beauty of his surroundings.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION
Arts & Letters | © Great Minds PBC

In Leo and Diane Dillon’s rhythmic book Rap a Tap Tap, readers meet Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, one of the greatest tap dancers of all time. Students explore how they can use their senses of sight and hearing to enjoy Bojangles’s tap dancing patterns and rhythms. In Beth Anderson’s “Smelly” Kelly and His Super Senses, students explore the importance of being aware of one’s surroundings and using one’s senses to help others. This biography features James Kelly, who uses his extraordinary sense of smell to ensure riders’ safety on the New York City subway.

The module concludes with Fry Bread by Kevin Noble Maillard, which demonstrates the combined power of all five senses. This award-winning book describes the shapes, colors, sounds, and flavors of fry bread, highlighting what fry bread means to those who make and share it.

Throughout the module, students practice gathering evidence to respond to prompts about how characters in the texts use their senses to experience the world. As a class, students participate in a sensory walk and then identify and write about the various ways their senses allow them to experience the world. Students then share the culmination of their knowledge and exploration through the End-of-Module Task, where they write and illustrate a response to a prompt about using their own senses while taking a walk.

ASSESSMENTS

In every Arts & Letters™ module, students complete three types of formal assessments: module tasks, Listening Comprehension Assessments, and an End-of-Module Task. Each module task prepares students for the End-of-Module Task. While subsequent modules focus on specific types of writing (e.g., informational, narrative), kindergarten module 1 serves as an introduction to writing. Students draw and label or dictate to respond to prompts.

For additional information about assessments, including texts, rubrics, achievement descriptors, scoring guidance, and report analysis, see the Assessment Guide on the Great Minds® Digital Platform.

End-of-Module Task | Introduction to Writing

For the End-of-Module Task, students participate in a class sensory walk and then draw and write to show themselves using two senses. To prepare for the sensory walk, students pretend to go on a walk by reading Rap a Tap Tap and imagining all the things they might see, hear, smell, touch, and taste if they were walking in the city with Bojangles. During the sensory walk, students discuss with partners the senses they experience and the body parts they use to experience them. After the sensory walk, students create labeled drawings of themselves using their senses to experience their environment and identify the body parts they used to experience their senses.

Summary of Assessments

Lessons 12–16 | Module Task 1

Students draw and write to show how a character, CJ, uses one of his senses on a bus ride in Last Stop on Market Street. They collect evidence from the text about what CJ sees and hears, and they create labeled drawings that show the senses he uses while on the bus. Students may label drawings using a combination of writing and dictation. Students also identify the body parts that CJ uses to experience those senses (i.e., eyes and ears).

Lessons 17–21 | Module Task 2

Students draw and write to show themselves using one of their senses. They watch a video of Bojangles dancing, and they create labeled drawings to show the sense they use to experience the video. Then students identify the body part that corresponds to the sense they used.

Lesson 22 | Listening Comprehension Assessment 1

Students complete a Listening Comprehension Assessment based on a new text about how people use their senses to experience the world. Tasks included in this assessment build on students’ knowledge and skills developed in the first half of the module. Completing the tasks in this first assessment prepares students for a more in-depth Listening Comprehension Assessment at the end of the module.

Kindergarten | Module 1 | Module Overview 5
Arts & Letters | © Great Minds PBC

Lessons 24–28 | Module Task 3

Students draw and write to show Smelly Kelly from “Smelly” Kelly and His Super Senses using two of his senses. They collect evidence from the text about what Smelly Kelly sees, hears, and smells, and they create labeled drawings to show how he uses two of these senses. Then students identify the body parts that correspond to the senses Smelly Kelly uses.

Lessons 29–33 | Module Task 4

Students draw and write to show how the people in Fry Bread use two of their senses to experience fry bread. They collect evidence from the text about how the characters use their senses, they create labeled drawings to show how these senses are used, and they identify the body parts people use to experience their senses.

Lesson 34 | Listening Comprehension Assessment 2

In this second and more in-depth Listening Comprehension Assessment, students demonstrate their knowledge by answering questions about important vocabulary and content knowledge from the module. Students also expand their knowledge by applying comprehension skills to a new text about how people use their senses to experience the world.

Lessons 36–38 | End-of-Module Task

Students draw and write to show two senses that they used on the class sensory walk.

ACHIEVEMENT DESCRIPTORS OVERVIEW

Achievement Descriptors (ADs) are standards-aligned descriptions that detail what students should know and be able to do based on instruction. ADs are written by using portions of various standards to form a clear, concise description of the work covered in each module. Grade-level ADs may appear in multiple modules.

Arts & Letters alignment to state standards is available on the digital platform.

The ADs are organized into five strands.

Each strand is composed of grade-level parent ADs. Some parent ADs are further divided into child ADs, and some child ADs are further broken down into grandchild ADs.

Each AD has a unique code, which indicates the strand, the AD number, and the grade to represent the parent AD. If applicable, the code may also include a capital letter to indicate a child AD and a lowercase letter to indicate a grandchild AD.

The following examples show the relationship of parent, child, and grandchild ADs.

The first number in the code is the AD number, which corresponds to the list of Achievement Descriptor Numbers by Strand. The second number in the code is the grade-level number.

Teacher Note

As students share, listen closely for what they already know about the topic. Note students’ prior knowledge to activate and incorporate into future discussions. Note misconceptions to clarify in future instruction.

2. Introduce the vocabulary term senses by displaying the Knowledge Card. Explain that the Vocabulary Exploration routine has three parts. First, you say the term and simultaneously clap once for each syllable. Then, students copy the action by repeating the term and clapping once for each syllable. Finally, you read aloud the definition, and direct attention to the image on the Knowledge Card to help students understand the term’s meaning.

3. Practice this routine with the term senses.

Engage | Create, Experience, or Read | 43 minutes

Choose a Create, Experience, or Read activity to engage students with the module topic. Plan your own activity or choose an option below.

1. Direct attention to the poem. Explain that authors are people who write texts, and poets are authors who write poems.

2. Tell students that before reading the poem, they will practice noticing. Introduce the vocabulary term notice. Say the term aloud, and instruct students to repeat it. Define the term. Direct attention to notice in the Content Framing Question. Demonstrate the term’s meaning by using a gesture (e.g., making glasses frames around your eyes).

3. Read aloud “Nature’s Treasures.” Pause only to clarify details necessary for general understanding.

Teacher Note

Every time you read aloud is an opportunity to demonstrate the elements of fluent reading—accuracy, phrasing, expression, and rate. In kindergarten, students practice fluency by reading Geodes®.

Language Support

Based on your students’ needs, pause to define select words with a synonym (e.g., imitate, reveal, tucked). Use subsequent readings to reinforce synonyms for the words you selected.

Respond | Notice About the Text | 20 minutes

1. Tell students that they will now practice noticing about “Nature’s Treasures.” Think aloud to model how to notice about the poem.

2. Instruct students to listen closely to what they notice while listening to a few lines of the poem.

Definition notice (v.): to become aware of someone or something

Sample Think Aloud

When I notice, I think about what I hear and what I see. When I listened to the poem, I heard the word ants I notice that the person in the poem sees ants moving in a line.

3. Read aloud lines 1–4, starting with “I know by heart.” Ask this question:

What do you notice in these lines of the poem?

Teacher Note

In module 1 during the first reading of each text, students share what they notice about a book’s text and illustrations. In module 2, students share both what they notice and what they wonder. If a student shares what they wonder during this lesson, acknowledge the response and invite the student to share something from the text that prompted their question.

4. Read aloud lines 5–14, starting with “I know how ants.” Instruct students to use a nonverbal signal (e.g., making glasses frames around their eyes) when they notice something about the poem. Instruct students to answer this question with a partner:

What do you notice in these lines of the poem?

Language Support

To leverage students’ home languages as resources to support learning, encourage students who share the same home language to discuss questions like this together, especially in preparation for larger class discussions.

5. Tell students that they will look more closely at the poem’s illustrations, located in the Learn book. Explain that the pages of the Learn book include materials and charts that help students think more about the module texts. Instruct students to explore and ask questions about their Learn book.

Observe | Notice About Apples | 18 minutes

Teacher Notes

Apples is an oil still life painted by Paul Cézanne in 1878. It is a classic example of one of the artist’s favorite subjects: two distinct groupings of apples on a muted background. Cézanne was a French painter who is often recognized as the bridge between Impressionism and Cubism. His paintings build form from gestural strokes of color (Impressionism) while experimenting with the distortion of planes and perspective (Cubism).

To promote looking closely at the work of art, do not provide background information about it at this point. Rather, encourage students to share and expand on what they initially notice. Students revisit this work of art during the next few lessons and learn more about its history. During visual art instruction, students develop skills to examine and analyze art, which help them build stamina for looking closely at works of art. For this reason, lessons include specific amounts of time for examining works of art. The time for looking closely increases across modules and levels.

1. Tell students that they will continue to notice about a different type of text: a work of art. Throughout the year, students have the opportunity to closely examine works of art, just as they examine written texts such as stories, articles, and poems. Explain that noticing about a work of art helps people understand and enjoy art, just as noticing about a text helps readers understand and enjoy a story or a poem.

2. Display Apples without telling students the title or name of the artist. Instruct students to silently look at the work of art. After at least 30 seconds, direct attention to different parts of the work of art, including the top, bottom, middle, and corners.

3. Without interpreting or imagining what might be happening in the painting, think aloud to model noticing about the work of art.

4. Instruct students to turn to a partner and describe something they see in the work of art. Listen as students share about the painting.

Sample Think Aloud

When I look at the whole work of art, I notice that it looks like a drawing, or maybe a painting. I can look closely and see what else I notice. I see some objects that look familiar. I can describe what these objects look like.

Kindergarten | Module 1 | Arc A | Lesson 2 26
Arts & Letters | © Great Minds PBC

5. Explain that students can also notice about a work of art by looking closely at a specific part of the work of art. Zoom in closely on one object in the painting. Provide students time to silently look at the object. After at least 30 seconds, ask this question:

What do you see now?

6. Tell students that they will participate in a discussion about the work of art. Explain that you will use name sticks to call on them during the discussion. Display the container of name sticks. Emphasize that everyone’s name is on one of the sticks and that each student’s voice is important.

7. Introduce the learning task. Explain that each student will share what they notice about the work of art. Instruct students to look closely at the work of art again for at least 30 seconds. Select name sticks until all students have shared a response. Begin the discussion by asking this question:

What do you notice about this work of art?

Differentiation Support

• What do you see when you first look at the painting?

• What do you see when you look very closely at just one part of the painting?

Analyze Student Progress

Monitor: Do students share at least one thing they notice about Apples?

Offer Immediate Support: If students need additional support noticing about Apples, direct their attention to a specific part of the painting (e.g., the top) and prompt them to describe what they see.

Plan Future Practice: Students practice noticing about Children’s Games in lesson 7.

Reflect on Learning

1. Direct attention to both knowledge charts, and read aloud each chart title. Explain that knowledge of the world is knowledge students gain from texts in the module. Explain that knowledge of ELA is knowledge students gain as they learn reading, writing, and speaking skills. Writing statements about new learning helps people remember and track the knowledge they gain.

2. Think aloud to model how to reflect on this lesson’s learning.

3. Facilitate a brief discussion of the following question to help students articulate the knowledge they built during the lesson:

What did you learn today?

Teacher Note

As needed, prompt students to reflect on what they learned by asking questions such as these:

• What did you learn from “Nature’s Treasures”?

• What did you learn to do?

4. Add a few student-generated knowledge statements to the charts. Place statements about key ideas from the lesson and information from the text on the World Knowledge Chart, and place statements about language arts on the ELA Knowledge Chart.

Teacher Note

Adding all students’ knowledge statements to the charts is not necessary. Encourage all students to share their knowledge statements, and then choose a few to add to the charts. Alternatively, summarize students’ comments into a few statements, and then add the summarized statements to the charts. We do not include a prescribed list of student knowledge statements because the discussion should flow organically and the statements should represent the authentic learning of each class. As needed, ask follow-up questions to guide students toward key ideas from the lesson, world knowledge from the texts, or ELA knowledge related to the learning goals.

4. Read aloud “Nature’s Treasures.” Look for students to use the nonverbal signal when the child describes a treasure in nature.

5. Ask this question:

What treasures in nature does the child in the poem talk about?

Differentiation Support

Depending on your students’ familiarity with the vocabulary in the poem, gather objects to represent words about nature. For example, students could touch soft fabric to get a better sense of what a pussy willow feels like or a hairbrush to suggest what a porcupine may feel like.

Key Ideas

• the shapes of leaves

• how ants move

• how pussy willows feel

6. Facilitate a brief discussion of this question:

How does the child in the poem experience nature’s treasures?

Differentiation Support

To help students identify how the child in the poem experiences nature’s treasures, invite them to close their eyes and pretend they are the child in the poem as you read it aloud. Ask these questions:

• What does the child hear?

• What does the child see?

• What does the child touch?

Kindergarten | Module 1 | Arc A | Lesson 3 33
Arts & Letters | © Great Minds PBC

Respond | Act Out Character Actions | 20 minutes

1. Remind students that they just identified how the child in the poem experiences many special things in nature. Tell students that they will now act out parts of the poem to better understand what is happening in the text.

2. Explain that one way to act out parts of a text is by creating a Tableau. During a Tableau routine, students do not speak or make any noise, but they use their bodies and facial expressions to re-create an event, or something that happens, in the text. One person or small groups of people can create Tableaus.

3. Direct students to “Nature’s Treasures,” located in the Learn book. Instruct students to look closely at the illustrations as you read aloud.

4. Read aloud lines 1–4, starting with “I know by heart.” Direct attention to line 2, and explain that you will create a Tableau of the child smelling dirt. Think aloud to describe how you use your body and facial expressions to re-create this event from the poem. Then briefly and silently hold the pose to model how to create a Tableau.

5. Form small groups. Read aloud lines 5–8, starting with “I know how ants.” Encourage students to take on various roles to re-create an event from the poem. For example, a few students could pretend to be ants in a line while another student pretends to be the child watching them.

Teacher Note

Incorporate strategic, flexible ways to form groups of students throughout the module. Bringing together students who have different levels of reading, writing, or English language proficiency can promote rich conversation and exchange of ideas. Also, grouping students with similar levels of reading, writing, or English language proficiency can help focus students on a specific task with teacher support. As applicable, complement any of these groups by pairing students who speak the same home language.

6. Instruct students to create a Tableau from lines 5–8 of the poem.

7. Invite students to perform their Tableaus.

Sample Think Aloud

In this part of the poem, the child remembers the smell of dirt. To create a Tableau of this event, I will pretend I am smelling dirt. I will cup my hands so it looks like I am holding dirt in them. When I smell, I use my nose, so I will put my nose close to my hands to look like I am smelling the pretend dirt.

Kindergarten | Module 1 | Arc A | Lesson 3 34

8. Look for students to create Tableaus of the events from these lines of the poem. Then ask this question:

What is happening in these lines of the poem?

Key Ideas

• The child looks at ants walking in a line.

• The child pets a porcupine.

• The child listens to birds.

9. Introduce the learning task. Read aloud lines 9–14, starting with “I know how pussy willows.”

Instruct students to create a Tableau in their small groups of one event from this part of the poem.

Analyze Student Progress

Monitor: Do students identify one event that happens in lines 9–14 of “Nature’s Treasures”?

Offer Immediate Support: If students need support creating a Tableau of an event from lines 9–14, reread line 9 and instruct them to describe what the child in the poem is doing.

Plan Future Practice: Students practice identifying what is happening in a text in My Five Senses in lesson 14.

10. Invite a few students to describe the scenes they re-created in their Tableaus.

Key Ideas

• The child touches a pussy willow.

• The child counts rings on a tree trunk.

• The child looks for hidden treasures in nature.

Read the Content Framing Question

1. Display “Nature’s Treasures.”

2. Display and Echo Read the Content Framing Question: What does a deeper look at words and illustrations reveal?

3. Tell students that reveal means “to show.” Explain that during a Reveal lesson, the class focuses on only part of the text—a part that is particularly complex or important. The class closely reads and discusses this part to gain a deeper understanding of it. Tell students that in this lesson they will think about the words and illustrations to learn the meaning of a new word that will help them better understand what is happening in the poem.

LEARN

53 minutes

Read | Examine Words and Illustrations | 15 minutes

1. Explain that when readers study a poem, they can pay attention to what the words look like, how the words sound, and what they mean. Tell students that first they will listen for how the words sound as they listen closely to the poem.

2. Read aloud “Nature’s Treasures.” Ask this question: What do you notice about how the words sound in the poem?

Key Ideas

• Some words sound the same.

• Some words rhyme.

• Some words repeat.

3. Use responses to emphasize that this poem includes words that rhyme, or words that end in the same sounds. Tell students that they will now listen closely for words that rhyme. Instruct students to use a nonverbal signal (e.g., clap their hands) when they hear words that rhyme. Read aloud lines 1–4, starting with “I know by heart.”

4. Listen for students to clap when they identify words that rhyme: drop and stop.

Differentiation Challenge

To extend student thinking about rhyming words, ask this question: What other rhyming words are in the poem?

5. Tell students they will now think more about the words in the poem. Read aloud lines 1–2, starting with “I know by heart.” Ask this question: Who is speaking in this poem?

6. Reinforce the correct response: The speaker in this poem is the child who is smelling, seeing, hearing, and touching treasures in nature.

7. Tell students that they will now listen to the rest of the poem again. Instruct students to pay attention to what the words mean. Explain that learning more about what the words in the poem mean will help students develop a deeper understanding of the child in the poem.

8. Read aloud lines 3–14, starting with “And when it.” Ask this question: What more did you learn about the child in the poem?

Key Ideas

• The child likes animals and plants.

• The child finds treasures in nature.

9. Use responses to emphasize that the child describes exploring nature. Instruct students to use a nonverbal signal (e.g., a thumbs-up) when they hear the term explore. Read aloud lines 11–14, starting with “As I explore.”

Kindergarten | Module 1 | Arc A | Lesson 4 45
Arts & Letters | © Great Minds PBC

10. Introduce the vocabulary term explore. Say the term aloud, and instruct students to repeat it. Define the term. Invite students to act out the term’s meaning by using a gesture (e.g., pretending to use a magnifying glass to look at something).

11. Tell students they will work with a partner to continue to build their understanding of the meaning of explore.

Respond | Apply the Meaning of Explore | 18 minutes

1. Direct students to “Nature’s Treasures,” located in the Learn book. Encourage students to look closely at the illustrations as you read aloud.

2. Read aloud lines 1–4, starting with “I know by heart.” Ask these questions:

What does the child explore in this part of the poem?

How does the child explore?

Key Ideas

• The child explores leaves, dirt, bees, and the rain.

• The child explores by smelling, seeing, and hearing things in nature.

3. Read aloud lines 5–6, starting with “I know how ants.” Instruct students to answer these questions with a partner:

What does the child explore in this part of the poem?

How does the child explore?

Definition explore (v.): to examine something in a careful way to learn more about it

Kindergarten | Module 1 | Arc A | Lesson 4 46
Arts & Letters | © Great Minds PBC

4. Listen for students to address key ideas in their discussions.

Key Ideas

• The child explores ants and a porcupine.

• The child explores by seeing and touching things in nature.

5. Tell students that they will follow the instructional routine Think–Pair–Share to discuss the term explore and the actions and feelings of the child in the poem. Explain that this routine has three parts. First, students silently think about their response. Next, they share their response with a partner. Finally, you facilitate a brief discussion with the whole class.

Differentiation Support

If time allows, students may benefit from practicing the Think–Pair–Share instructional routine with an easy, personal question that is connected to the poem, such as: What is your favorite thing in nature?

6. Direct students to “Nature’s Treasures,” located in the Learn book, and remind them to look closely at the illustrations as you read aloud.

7. Read aloud lines 7–10, starting with “I imitate the.” Instruct students to Think–Pair–Share to answer these questions:

What does the child explore in this part of the poem?

How does the child explore?

Language Support

Provide this sentence frame: The child explores

Key Ideas

• The child explores birds, pussy willows, and tree trunks.

• The child explores by hearing, touching, and seeing things in nature.

Kindergarten | Module 1 | Arc A | Lesson 4 47

8. Introduce the learning task. Encourage students to look closely at the illustrations. Read aloud lines 11–14, starting with “As I explore.” Instruct students to Think–Pair–Share to answer these questions:

What does the child explore in the poem?

How does the child explore?

Language Support

Provide this sentence frame: The child explores .

Analyze Student Progress

Monitor: Do students demonstrate understanding that the child explores nature by using their senses?

Offer Immediate Support: If students need additional support demonstrating understanding of the term explore, direct their attention to an illustration of the child and prompt them to describe what the child is doing.

Plan Future Practice: Students practice analyzing the words and illustrations in Last Stop on Market Street in lesson 14.

Key Ideas

• The child explores the earth by looking for hidden treasures.

• The child explores different animals and plants.

• The child explores nature by seeing, touching, smelling, and hearing things outside.

9. Emphasize that the child in the poem explores special things in nature by seeing, touching, smelling, and hearing them.

Kindergarten | Module 1 | Arc A | Lesson 4 48

Observe | Examine Shapes in Apples | 20 minutes

1. Tell students that just as they examined the words in “Nature’s Treasures” to learn more about the poem, they will now examine the shapes in Apples to learn more about the painting.

2. Display Apples. Explain that one way people examine a work of art is by noticing the shapes they see. Assess and activate prior knowledge by asking this question:

What are shapes you can name?

3. As students name common shapes, display an image of each shape to reinforce understanding.

Differentiation Support

If students would benefit from additional practice with shapes, invite students to find real examples of a circle, oval, square, rectangle, and triangle in the classroom before identifying shapes within the work of art.

Differentiation Challenge

Before displaying an image of each shape, invite students to use their hands or bodies to make the shapes as they are named.

4. Use responses to emphasize that a shape is an area bound by lines, such as a circle, oval, square, triangle, and rectangle. Explain that just as authors use words to tell a story or write a poem, artists use shapes to create art.

5. Remind students that people look carefully at works of art multiple times so that they can see more details the artist created. Instruct students to silently observe the work of art, paying close attention to the shapes they see.

Kindergarten | Module 1 | Arc A | Lesson 4 49
Arts & Letters | © Great Minds PBC

6. After at least 30 seconds, facilitate a brief discussion of this question:

What shapes do you see in this work of art?

Differentiation Support

• What shape is each apple?

• What shape is the whole painting?

7. Point to the shapes in the painting as students share. Instruct students to answer this question with a partner:

What shapes do you see in more than one place?

8. Listen for students to identify shapes that repeat throughout the painting. Use responses to highlight places where repeating shapes can be seen in the work of art. Reinforce that artists use shapes to create their art, and sometimes they use the same shapes throughout a work of art.

9. Explain that sometimes shapes are easy to see in paintings, but other times they can be harder to find. Emphasize that students can find more shapes and different shapes by looking closely at a work of art multiple times.

10. Give students time to silently observe the work of art. Encourage students to look closely to find a different shape or a shape that is harder to see.

11. Instruct students to respond with a nonverbal signal (e.g., a thumbs-up or thumbs-down). Ask this question:

Do you see a triangle in this painting?

12. Invite a few students to share where they saw a triangle in the work of art. Use responses to emphasize that the group of apples at the bottom is in a triangle shape. Trace around the group of apples at the bottom to highlight that they are arranged in a triangle shape.

Kindergarten | Module 1 | Arc A | Lesson 4 50
Arts & Letters | © Great Minds PBC

13. Trace around the group of apples at the top of the painting. Invite students to copy the shape by drawing it in the air with their finger. Ask this question:

What shape is the group of apples at the top?

14. Reinforce the correct response: The shape is an oval.

15. Tell students they will draw in their journals a shape they see in the work of art. Throughout the year, students draw and write in their journals about the texts they explore.

16. Model how to create a journal entry by drawing a shape, such as a triangle, from Apples, while emphasizing the following:

• Journal entries can include words and drawings.

• Words and drawings each have their own space on the page.

• Each journal entry responds to one question or prompt.

17. Introduce the learning task. Direct students to their journals. Instruct students to draw a shape they see in Apples. Encourage students to draw a shape that is different from the one in the teacher model.

Analyze Student Progress

Monitor: Do students identify at least one shape the artist painted in Apples?

Offer Immediate Support: If students need additional support drawing a shape from Apples, direct them to a specific part of the painting and prompt them to identify the shape they see before drawing it in their journals.

Plan Future Practice: Students practice examining a specific aspect of a work of art in Children’s Games in lesson 9.

18. Invite a few students to share their journal entries.

Kindergarten | Module 1 | Arc A | Lesson 4 51

Teacher Note

As needed, prompt students to reflect on what they learned by asking questions such as these:

• What did you learn from “Nature’s Treasures”?

• What did you learn from Apples?

• What did you learn to do?

2. Think aloud to model how to form a knowledge statement relevant to the lesson.

3. Add a few student-generated knowledge statements to the charts. Place statements about key ideas from the lesson and information from the text on the World Knowledge Chart, and place statements about language arts on the ELA Knowledge Chart.

Lesson 5

Essential Question | How do people use their senses to experience the world?

Content Framing Question | Distill: What is a central idea in this text?

OVERVIEW

Preview

In this Distill lesson, students revisit excerpts from “Nature’s  Treasures” to determine how the child in the poem uses their senses. Identifying how the child in the poem uses their senses prepares students to discuss a central idea in the text. During visual art instruction, students examine real apples and compare them with the fruit in Apples. They determine how Cézanne used shape to represent apples in the work of art.

A Prologue to lesson 5 is available for students who need additional support.

Learning Goals

Determine the central idea of “Nature’s Treasures.”

LEARNING TASK: During a class discussion, share one example of why the child in the poem explores nature.

Determine the effect of shape on the presentation of fruit in Apples.

LEARNING TASK: Describe how Cézanne uses shapes and colors to represent apples.

5. Display and Echo Read today’s discussion question: Why does the child in the poem explore nature?

6. Tell students that to prepare for a discussion, speakers think about what they want to say and how they want to say it.

7. Introduce the speaking and listening goal for today’s discussion: Speak loudly enough for others to hear you. Say a sentence in a whisper voice. Repeat the same sentence in an appropriately loud voice, followed by an inappropriately loud voice. Ask this question:

When did I speak loudly enough for others to hear?

8. Use responses to emphasize that students could hear both the very loud voice and the loud voice, but only the appropriately loud volume is suited for a classroom conversation.

9. Instruct students to Echo Read the Content Framing Question at an appropriately loud volume. Reinforce that speaking loudly enough requires the speaker to speak at a volume that is not too quiet or too loud, but just right for others to hear.

10. Tell students that next they will plan what they want to say to answer the discussion question. Explain that as you read aloud, students will listen for reasons the child in the poem explores nature.

11. Direct attention to “Nature’s Treasures.” Read aloud lines 1–2, starting with “I know by heart.” Think aloud to model how to identify why the child explores nature in this part of the poem.

Sample Think Aloud

First, I will think about what the child is doing in this part of the poem. The child in this part of the poem sees leaves, smells dirt, and hears bees. Next, I will think about what that tells me about the reasons the child explores nature. The child is doing these things because they like seeing, smelling, and listening to things in nature. That is why the child explores nature.

Kindergarten | Module 1 | Arc A | Lesson 5 57
Arts & Letters | © Great Minds PBC

12. Read aloud lines 3–6, starting with “And when it rains.” Instruct students to answer these questions with a partner:

What is the child in the poem doing?

What is a reason the child might be doing that?

Language Support

Provide these sentence frames:

• The child

• The child because .

Teacher Notes

These sentence frames provide oral language support; it is more important for students to hear the words of the sentence frame than for students to see the written words. Begin by reading the sentence frame aloud. Then instruct students to repeat the words and continue with their response.

Sentence frames provide a scaffold for all students—including multilingual learners and students with language-based disabilities—who are beginning to express ideas orally and in writing. By providing a clear, simple structure that incorporates key vocabulary, sentence frames help students discuss content at a degree beyond what they may be able to do independently.

13. Listen for students to address key ideas in their discussions.

Key Ideas

• The child listens to the rain to enjoy how it sounds.

• The child watches the ants to enjoy how they look as they walk in a line.

• The child pets a porcupine to enjoy how it feels.

14. Read aloud lines 7–10, starting with “I imitate the songs.”

Key Ideas

• The child sings because they love the chirping of the birds.

• The child touches a pussy willow to enjoy how it feels.

• The child counts the rings of a tree trunk to learn how old it is.

16. Remind students of today’s discussion question: Why does the child in the poem explore nature? To help students prepare for the discussion, instruct them to choose one example that shows why the child in the poem explores nature.

Respond | Discuss a Central Idea | 18 minutes

1. Remind students of the speaking and listening goal for today’s discussion: Speak loudly enough for others to hear you.

2. Instruct students to orally rehearse their example with a partner and to pay attention to whether they are speaking loudly enough for others to hear.

Teacher Note

During the discussion, use the Module 1 Speaking and Listening Goal Tracker, located on the digital platform, to monitor student progress toward this goal. As students practice their speaking and listening skills throughout the module, continue to use the tracker to monitor students’ progress toward each goal.

Kindergarten | Module 1 | Arc A | Lesson 5 59
Arts & Letters | © Great Minds PBC

3. Instruct students to form a circle.

4. Introduce the learning task. Explain that students will now engage in a discussion to share their example of why the child in the poem explores nature. Instruct students to use a nonverbal signal (e.g., a thumbs-up) when they hear an example like their own. Select name sticks until all students have shared their examples. Begin the discussion by asking the discussion question:

Why does the child in the poem explore nature?

Language Support

Provide this sentence frame: The child because .

Teacher Notes

Name sticks promote engagement and participation from all students during class discussions. To use name sticks, select one name stick at a time and read the name aloud to call on a student to participate in the discussion.

As students share their examples, sort the name sticks to keep track of which students need more practice. If time allows at the end of the discussion, invite these students to retry sharing their examples.

Analyze Student Progress

Monitor: Do students share text-based examples that demonstrate why the child in the poem explores nature?

Offer Immediate Support: If students need additional support identifying an example, reread line 3 and prompt them to describe the child’s actions. Then ask this question: What is a reason the child might be doing that?

Plan Future Practice: Students practice determining the effect of an aspect of the work of art in lesson 10.

5. At the end of the discussion, reinforce key ideas.

Key Ideas

• The child sings because they love the chirping of the birds.

• The child listens to the rain to enjoy how it sounds.

• The child pets a porcupine to enjoy how it feels.

6. Tell students that they will now consider a central, or important, idea from the text. Explain that identifying a central idea requires readers to pause and think about how the poem relates to the bigger world beyond the text. By looking at the poem within the bigger world, readers can think about a lesson from the text that they can apply to their lives.

7. Read aloud the poem. Facilitate a brief discussion of this question:

Why is the poem called “Nature’s Treasures”?

Differentiation Support

• What is special about nature?

Key Ideas

• Nature has many treasures.

• There is a lot to explore in nature.

• It’s fun to go outside.

Teacher Note

Articulating a lesson from the poem may be challenging for students, but they are likely to respond insightfully to the differentiation support question. After asking the differentiation support question, summarize responses into one or more lessons for the reader.

8. Emphasize that a central idea from this poem is that there are many special things, or treasures, to explore in nature.

Kindergarten | Module 1 | Arc A | Lesson 5 61

9. Instruct students to reflect on how well they met the speaking and listening goal: Speak loudly enough for others to hear you. Tell students they will continue working on this goal in future lessons.

Observe | Determine the Effect of Shape in Apples | 18 minutes

1. Remind students that they discussed the central idea in “Nature’s Treasures” to deepen their understanding of the poem. Tell students that they will now learn more about Paul Cézanne’s Apples to deepen their understanding of the work of art.

2. Explain that Paul Cézanne painted common objects, such as fruit, in interesting ways. Cézanne did not want his paintings to look like photographs, but he did want observers to be able to recognize objects in his paintings.

3. Tell students that they will use their senses to explore different types of apples and then look at the painting Apples again. They will think about how the painting looks similar to and different from real apples.

4. Direct attention to the different types of apples located throughout the classroom. Explain that students will examine the apples during a Gallery Walk. They will rotate in small groups, touching, looking at, and smelling each apple.

5. Model how to participate in the Gallery Walk. Think aloud as you walk to one type of apple, and pick up the apple to touch, look closely at, and smell it.

6. Form small groups and instruct students to rotate to each type of apple. During each rotation, give students a moment to examine the apple with their senses of sight, smell, and touch. Signal to students when they should rotate to the next type of apple. Continue until students have had the opportunity to explore each type of apple.

Sample Think Aloud

First, I go with my group to the first apple. Next, I wait my turn to examine the apple. When it is my turn, I pick up the apple to touch it, smell it, and look closely at its shape and colors. I will think about how this apple reminds me of the apples in the painting. This apple is the same shape. I will also think about how this apple is different from the apples in the painting. It is not made of paint.

Kindergarten | Module 1 | Arc A | Lesson 5 62
Arts & Letters | © Great Minds PBC

7. Facilitate a brief discussion of this question:

What do you notice about the apples?

Differentiation Support

• How do the apples look?

• How do the apples feel?

• How do the apples smell?

8. Remind students that viewers look carefully at works of art multiple times so that they can see more details. Zoom in very closely on one apple in the painting. Instruct students to silently observe the work of art, paying close attention to how the apple in the painting looks similar to and different from the real apples.

9. After at least 30 seconds, facilitate a brief discussion of these questions:

How are the apples in the painting like the real apples?

How are the apples in the painting different from the real apples?

Key Ideas

• The apples in the painting are like real apples because they are the same shapes.

• The apples in the painting are different from the real apples because they are not smooth.

• You can see brushstrokes on the painting that are not on the real apples.

Kindergarten | Module 1 | Arc A | Lesson 5 63

10. Introduce the learning task. Instruct students to Think–Pair–Share to answer this question:

How can you tell that the objects in the painting are apples?

Analyze Student Progress

Monitor: Do students describe shapes and colors that indicate the objects in the painting are apples?

Offer Immediate Support: If students need additional support describing how the objects are apples, ask this question: What fruit do the objects look like?

Plan Future Practice: Students practice determining the effect of an art element in Children’s Games in lesson 10.

11. Emphasize that Cézanne painted a picture of fruits that look like apples, but they do not look exactly like real apples. The painting does not look like a photograph, but people can recognize the apples in the painting because they are the same shape as real apples.

1. Direct attention to “Nature’s Treasures.” Assess and activate prior knowledge by asking this question: How does the child in the poem explore nature?

2. Reinforce the correct response: The child in the poem sees, smells, hears, and touches things to explore nature.

3. Tell students that they will view the video “Making Observations” to learn more about the five senses. Explain that, by watching a video about the five senses, students are collecting more information, or evidence, about the five senses. As they collect textual evidence to build knowledge, students are doing research. Tell them that research means “getting information about a topic.” Play “Making Observations.”

Nature's Treasures

Teacher Note

Research skills, such as collecting and organizing textual evidence, drawing evidence from multiple texts, and discussing and writing about findings, are taught in all modules of all levels in Arts & Letters because students are always building knowledge from texts. Kindergarten students begin to practice these research skills by reading informational articles and watching informational videos to gain additional knowledge about a topic. Students build on these research skills in a later module.

4. Instruct students to Think–Pair–Share to answer this question:

What did you learn from the video?

Differentiation Support

• What do you do when you observe something?

• What senses do people use to observe?

5. Use responses to emphasize that people use all their senses to observe.

Differentiation Challenge

To extend student thinking across texts, ask these questions: How are the poem “Nature’s Treasures” and the video “Making Observations” similar? How are they different?

6. Ask this question:

How does collecting information from more than one text help you build knowledge about a topic?

Key Ideas

• helps you learn more things about the topic

• helps you understand different facts about the topic

• helps you learn new facts

7. Explain that students will do more research as they build knowledge about this and other topics.

8. If time allows, play “Five Senses Song” by the Kiboomers to help students develop a better understanding of the connection between the five senses and the corresponding body parts. Invite students to sing along and create motions to match the lyrics.

Respond | Share Knowledge Connected to a Topic | 20 minutes

1. Tell students that they will engage in an activity to celebrate the new knowledge they have gained. Encourage students to think about the knowledge they have built from the poem “Nature’s Treasures” and the video “Making Observations.”

2. Direct attention to the five sense icons displayed around the room. Explain that each body part icon represents a sense. Direct attention to each icon, and name the sense represented by each body part icon.

3. Explain that students will share what they have learned about the five senses. Explain that it is important to share an idea connected to the topic so students can show what they know about the five senses and learn from each other.

4. Tell students that you will ask questions about the poem and the video so they can share ideas connected to the topic. Students will answer the questions by moving to the sense icon that matches their response and then discuss their thinking with a partner.

5. Remind students to move to a sense icon to respond, and ask this question:

What sense do you use to observe the sheep in the video?

6. Look for students to move to a correct sense icon: eyes or ears. Remind students to turn to a partner and discuss their thinking. Pose this prompt:

Tell how you use this sense to observe the sheep in the video.

• I hear .

7. Invite a few students to share their responses.

Key Ideas

• I see a white, furry animal.

• I see four legs.

• I hear a baa sound.

Teacher Note

Students may expand their thinking during this discussion by responding with senses beyond those discussed in the poem or video. Encourage students to use their knowledge of “Nature’s Treasures” and “Making Observations” to answer the question in order to promote referring to the text in their responses.

8. Tell students that you will now ask more questions about the poem and the video. Remind students that they will respond by moving to the sense icon that matches their thinking and then discuss their response with a partner. Ask this question:

What sense does the child in the poem use to explore trees and flowers?

9. Look for students to move to a correct sense icon: eyes or nose. Remind students to turn to a partner and discuss their thinking. Pose this prompt:

Tell how the child in the poem uses this sense to explore trees and flowers.

• The child smells the sweetness of flowers.

• The child sees rings on a tree trunk.

Teacher Note

If time allows, continue this knowledge-building activity by using examples from the poem and video. For example, ask a question such as this: How do people use their senses to explore the forest or the beach?

11. Reinforce that students will respond by moving to the sense icon that matches their thinking. Ask this question:

What sense do people use to explore nature?

12. Introduce the learning task. Look for students to move to any of the sense icons. Instruct students to Think–Pair–Share to respond to this prompt:

Describe how people use this sense to explore nature.

Language Support

Provide these sentence frames:

• People see

• People smell .

• People hear .

• People touch

• People taste .

Teacher Note

Though the learning task focuses on students’ understanding of the content, the task also provides students an opportunity to practice their oral language skills. Students practice speaking loudly enough for others to hear them during the Know lessons in this module.

4. Reinforce that people use their sense of sight to look at art. Explain that some works of art, like Apples, can make people think about other senses.

Teacher Note

If time allows and apples are available, invite students to touch, smell, and taste an apple slice to help them make a connection between the apples in the painting and their other senses.

5. Instruct students to silently observe the work of art. Encourage students to consider how the painting makes them think about their other senses.

6. After at least 30 seconds, direct attention to the sense icon signs displayed around the room. Tell students that you will ask a question, and they will answer the question by moving to the sense icon that matches their response. Ask this question:

Which other sense do you think about when you observe this painting?

7. Look for students to move to a correct sense icon: ears, hands, nose, or tongue.

8. Introduce the learning task. Instruct students to Think–Pair–Share to answer this question:

Why do you think about this sense when you observe this painting?

Language Support

Provide this sentence frame for oral response scaffolding: I think about because

Analyze Student Progress

Monitor: Do students describe a connection between the body part, or sense, they chose and the painting?

Offer Immediate Support: If students need additional support describing a connection between a sense and the painting, instruct them to think about a sense they use when they eat an apple and then use the sentence frame to describe that experience.

Plan Future Practice: Students practice expressing what they learned about a work of art in lesson 11.

3. Read aloud My Five Senses. Pause only to clarify details necessary for general understanding.

Teacher Note

Every time you read aloud is an opportunity to demonstrate the elements of fluent reading: accuracy, phrasing, expression, and rate. Beginning in kindergarten module 3, students practice fluency by reading Geodes

4. Point to and identify the front and back cover. Explain that the cover provides information about a book and protects the inside pages. Think aloud to model how to notice about the front cover.

5. Instruct students to use a nonverbal signal (e.g., a thumbs-up) when they notice something about the front cover. Ask this question:

What do you notice about the front cover?

Differentiation Support

• What do you first see when you look at the front cover?

• What else do you see?

Teacher Note

As students share what they notice, listen for evidence of the knowledge and skills they built in previous lessons. In addition, listen for connections among ideas in the texts as the module progresses. Use the information you gather to prepare for subsequent lessons with this text.

Sample Think Aloud

When I am noticing, I look carefully at the words and illustrations on the front cover. For example, I notice arrows on the illustration. The arrows are pointing to the body parts that match the five senses.

5. Reinforce on-topic, text-based responses.

Teacher Note

If time allows, write and display responses (e.g., on a chart). Displaying dictation helps students build print awareness and see the connection between oral and written expressions. In future lessons, students draw what they notice and label their drawings.

Observe | Notice About Children’s Games | 18 minutes

Teacher Note

Children’s Games is an oil painting from 1560 by the Flemish Renaissance artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder. This large painting (roughly four feet tall by five feet wide) features many small figures spread all over the canvas. The figures are children engaged in play on their own, in pairs, or in groups. The purpose of this painting is unknown. Many scholars believe this painting is the first in a series of unfinished works that Bruegel envisioned as a way to represent the stages of a person’s life; other scholars see this painting as a catalog of peasant children’s games.

To promote looking closely at the work of art, do not provide background information about it at this point. Rather, encourage students to share and expand on what they initially notice and wonder.

1. Tell students that they will continue noticing as they examine a work of art. Explain that noticing about a work of art helps people understand and enjoy art, like noticing about a book helps readers better understand and enjoy a story.

2. Display Children’s Games without telling students the title or name of the artist.

3. Instruct students to silently look closely at the work of art. After at least 30 seconds, direct attention to different parts of the work of art, including the top, bottom, middle, and corners.

Kindergarten | Module 1 | Arc B | Lesson 7 83
Arts & Letters | © Great Minds PBC

4. Tell students that the first step of learning about a work of art is to share what they notice. Think aloud to model how to notice about a work of art. Describe items and elements without offering an interpretation.

Language Support

When discussing works of art, try to use well-known art terms—such as color, shape, and line—and encourage students to use these terms too. Instead of pausing discussion to correct students’ usage, model how to speak by using appropriate art terms when you ask questions and reinforce responses.

5. Introduce the learning task. Instruct students to Think–Pair–Share to answer this question:

What do you notice about this work of art?

Differentiation Support

• What do you first see in this work of art?

• What else do you see?

Analyze Student Progress

Monitor: Do students share at least one thing they notice about Children’s Games?

Offer Immediate Support: If students need additional support noticing about the work of art, direct their attention to a specific part of the painting (e.g., the middle) and prompt them to describe what they see.

Plan Future Practice: Students practice noticing and wondering about a work of art in module 2.

6. Reinforce responses by pointing to what students notice in the painting as they share.

7. Tell students that they will continue to view and discuss this work of art over the next several lessons to deepen their understanding of it.

Sample Think Aloud

There is a lot to see in this painting! At first, I notice the whole painting. It looks like a busy village from a long time ago. Then, as I look closer, I see a lot of people doing different things.

6. Display a collection of buttons and explain that students will use the buttons to keep track of the details they notice in the text. Display an empty box and explain that it will hold the buttons.

Teacher Note

An empty box and a collection of buttons provide visual and tactile prompts for identifying an informational text’s main topic and key details. As they listen to the text, students identify key details by using buttons. They reinforce the text’s main topic by adding the buttons into the box.

7. Remind students that details are small pieces of information. Ask this question: What details did you notice in My Five Senses?

8. Select name sticks until all students have shared a response. Invite students to place a button in the box as they share a detail from the text.

Teacher Note

Module 1 introduces students to noticing details. Students may notice details from the text or illustrations in a book. Students may also repeat details mentioned by others. If a student shares an on-topic, text-based response, invite them to place a button in the box. If a student shares a response that is not on topic or from the text, acknowledge the response, and redirect the student to share a detail from the text.

What are other key details in My Five Senses?

Differentiation Support

• What is one sense in the book?

5. Reinforce the correct responses: The other key details are the remaining senses—hearing, smell, taste, and touch. Place one button in the box for each key detail.

6. Direct attention to the box containing five buttons. Facilitate a brief discussion of this question:

What label would you give this box?

Language Support

Explain that a label is like a name. It is a word or phrase that names or describes something.

Differentiation Support

• What do the key details of sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste have in common?

• What name would you give to the box to help you know what is inside?

7. Summarize responses to reinforce that all these details relate to or are about the five senses. Reinforce the correct response: Because the key details are all about the five senses, the box would be labeled the five senses.

8. Explain that the label of the box is the main topic of the book. Introduce the vocabulary term main topic. Say the term aloud, and instruct students to repeat it. Define the term.

Sample Think Aloud

I remember that these details are all about what people can see, so that makes me think that an important, or key, detail must be the sense of sight.

4. Facilitate a brief discussion of this question:

What colors do you see in this painting?

Key Ideas

• brown, tan, gray, yellow, red-orange, light blue

5. Explain that just as writers use words in books, artists use color as one of their tools. Colors help artists tell a story and create a picture.

6. Explain that artists sometimes like to use the same colors throughout their works of art. Reinforce that one color Bruegel the Elder used in Children’s Games is light blue. Point to the light blue elements in the painting. Think aloud to model how to analyze color in the painting.

7. Tell students that when they see a color, they can look for it in other places in the painting. Instruct students to choose one color, other than light blue, to look for as they observe the painting for at least 30 seconds, silently holding their observations and comments.

Sample Think Aloud

When I look at the whole painting, I see light blue repeated in many places. Up in the left corner, the river and the land are light blue. Up in the right corner, I see several children wearing light blue clothes. Down at the bottom, the ground changes to light blue in some places, and more children are wearing blue at the bottom, too. Light blue repeats throughout this painting, causing our eyes to move over the painting to see all the different activities the children are doing.

7. As students share responses, add a few student-generated knowledge statements to the charts.

Key Ideas

• The five senses are see, smell, hear, touch, and taste.

• People gather information with their eyes, nose, ears, skin, and tongue.

• People use their senses to experience the world.

Teacher Note

At this point, it is appropriate for students to share their knowledge in phrases or statements. Students will learn how to generate complete sentences over the next two modules.

Observe | Describe Knowledge Gained from Children’s Games | 20 minutes

1. Tell students that they discussed their new knowledge about My Five Senses, and now they will look at Children’s Games and continue to build knowledge about the work of art.

2. Display Children’s Games and ask this question: What did you learn about how to look at art?

Differentiation Support

• Do you look at art just once or many times?

• Do you look at art quickly or for a longer time?

• Do you look at art with only your sense of sight, or do you use other senses too?

3. Use responses to emphasize that people often look at a work of art many times and for longer periods of time, and they use many different senses to experience it.

4. Explain that observers sometimes draw to experience a work of art too. They may sketch something they see in a painting or create artwork in a similar way.

5. Tell students that they will draw a picture of themselves playing a game to help them build their knowledge about Children’s Games. Distribute index cards, and instruct students to draw their picture using a pencil. Provide time for them to complete their drawings.

6. Invite students to add their drawings to a large sheet of paper to create a class drawing. Encourage students to describe their picture as they add it to the class drawing.

Kindergarten | Module 1 | Arc B | Lesson 11 124

7. Introduce the learning task. Instruct students to silently look closely at the class drawing and Children’s Games for at least 30 seconds. Instruct students to Think–Pair–Share to answer this question:

How is our class drawing different from the painting?

Analyze Student Progress

Monitor: Do students share at least one example of how the class drawing is different from Children’s Games?

Offer Immediate Support: If students need additional support identifying how the class drawing and the painting differ, instruct them to identify the colors in each artwork, and tell them to describe how the colors are different.

Plan Future Practice: Students practice expressing what they learn about a work of art in module 2.

8. Summarize responses to reinforce the knowledge students built about Children’s Games.

Key Ideas

• Pieter Bruegel the Elder painted Children’s Games, and students made a class drawing.

• The painting is colorful oil paints on panel, and the class drawing is gray pencil on paper.

• Some of the games the children are playing are different.

1. Direct attention to both knowledge charts, and read aloud a few knowledge statements. Ask this question: What did you learn about how the senses work?

2. Facilitate a brief discussion of the following question to help students integrate the knowledge they built during the past several lessons: How does your new knowledge show how people use their senses to experience the world?

3. Use responses to reinforce these Knowledge Threads:

• There are five senses—hearing, sight, smell, taste, and touch.

• People can use their senses to become more aware of their community and surroundings.

4. Tell students that they will continue building their knowledge as they study a new text in the next lesson.

Read | Listen Closely to Last Stop on Market Street | 20 minutes

1. Assess and activate prior knowledge by asking this question: What does it mean to notice?

2. Remind students that notice means “to become aware of someone or something.” Reinforce that noticing helps readers understand the text.

3. Direct attention to Last Stop on Market Street and instruct students to point to the front and back cover. Think aloud to model how to notice something about the front cover. Instruct students to use a nonverbal signal (e.g., a thumbs-up) if they notice something similar.

4. Invite a few students to share what they notice about the front cover. Ask this question:

Which sense are you using when you notice?

Teacher Note

As students share what they notice, listen for evidence of the knowledge and skills they built in previous lessons. In addition, listen for connections among ideas in the texts as the module progresses. Use the information you gather to prepare for subsequent lessons with this text.

Sample Think Aloud

When I notice, I look closely at all the details. When I look at this page, I notice a boy waiting for the bus.

5. Reinforce the correct response: When readers notice about a text, they often use their sense of sight.

Teacher Note

In module 1 during the first reading of each text, students share what they notice about a book’s text and illustrations. In module 2, students share both what they notice and what they wonder. If a student shares what they wonder during this lesson, acknowledge the response and invite the student to share something from the text that prompted their question.

6. Introduce the vocabulary term sight by displaying the Knowledge Card. Engage students in Vocabulary Exploration.

7. Display and read aloud Last Stop on Market Street. Pause only to clarify details necessary for general understanding.

Write| Collect Evidence in Last Stop on Market Street | 18 minutes

1. Tell students that they will continue to notice as they draw and write about how CJ uses his senses. Explain that they will use their books to collect evidence, or information, to help them with their writing. Remind them that when they collect evidence from a text to help them with their writing, they are practicing a skill that helps with research. Tell them that research means “getting more information about a topic.”

Language Support

To leverage students’ home languages as resources to support learning, allow students to brainstorm and draft by using all their linguistic knowledge.

2. Explain that students will look for evidence to complete Module Task 1. Display and Echo Read step 1 of the prompt: Draw and write to show how CJ uses one of his senses on the bus ride.

Differentiation Challenge

Some students will be able to produce advanced responses to Module Task 1. For example, they may be able to print more than one letter to label their drawing. See the Assessment Guide for more information, including an example of an advanced response.

3. Display pages 12–13 of Last Stop on Market Street. Explain that students will name the sense that CJ is using and draw a picture of the body part that matches that sense. Think aloud to model how to complete this task.

4. Direct attention to the books displayed around the room.

5. Form small groups, and assign each group to a workstation. Distribute a large sticky note or index card to each student. Assign each group a set of pages to study (14–15, 16–17, 18–19, or 20–21).

6. Tell students to study the illustrations at their assigned workstation to identify the sense CJ uses. Instruct students to share the sense CJ uses with their small group.

Sample Think Aloud I’m going to look for evidence that shows how CJ uses one of his senses on the bus ride. In this illustration, CJ is watching the bus driver. He is using his sense of sight. Because he is using his eyes, I’m going to draw a picture of an eye on my sticky note.

First, I am thinking about the words on the page. The words tell me that CJ and Nana are still on the bus. The words also tell me two older boys get on the bus, and they have something that CJ wants. Next, I think about the illustration. I see three boys and a dog in the picture. The two taller boys are listening to a device, like a smartphone. When I put the information from the words and pictures together, I learn that the two boys must be the older boys who got on the bus. I also learn that the thing CJ wants is the device they are listening to. By using the information from the words and the illustrations together, I know what is happening on this page, and I understand CJ’s experience!

6. Tell students that now they will listen to the words and look at the illustrations together to learn more about CJ and Nana. Display and read aloud the portion of pages 18–19 from “Why don’t you” to “closed hers too.”

7. Facilitate a discussion of these questions:

How does the man who is blind enjoy the music?

What does Nana do?

What do CJ and the spotted dog do?

8. Reinforce the correct responses: The man, Nana, CJ, and the spotted dog close their eyes “to feel the magic of the music” (page 19). Emphasize that students used the information from the words and the illustrations together to figure out what is happening on this page.

Language Support

If students need additional support understanding the meaning of “feel the magic of the music,” provide an opportunity to act out this part of the story. Instruct students to close their eyes while you play a recording of guitar music. Encourage students “to feel the magic of the music” as they listen. Invite students to describe what they experienced as they listened to the music by asking this question: How did you “feel the magic of the music”?

9. Facilitate a brief discussion of this question:

Why do you think the man who is blind likes to close his eyes “to feel the magic of the music”?

Key Ideas

• to better enjoy the music

• to focus only on the music

Respond | Analyze How Words and Illustrations Work Together | 18 minutes

1. Distribute the text to pairs. Explain that students will continue to explore how illustrations in a text can help readers understand what the words describe.

2. Direct attention to pages 20–21. Tell students to look closely at the illustration for at least 30 seconds. Ask this question:

How is this illustration different from the rest of the illustrations with CJ and Nana on the bus?

Key Ideas

• CJ’s eyes are closed, not open.

• CJ is alone and floating in the sky, not on the bus.

• The illustration includes butterflies and birds instead of other people.

3. Reinforce that this illustration looks different because something different is happening on this page. Read aloud page 21, starting with “And in the.” Instruct students to turn to their partner and answer this question:

What is happening on pages 20–21?

Differentiation Support

• Did CJ really get off the bus?

• What can happen when you close your eyes?

• What can happen when you listen to music?

Kindergarten | Module 1 | Arc C | Lesson 14 153
Arts & Letters | © Great Minds PBC

4. Invite a few partners to share their responses.

5. Introduce the vocabulary term imagine. Say the term aloud, and instruct students to repeat it. Define the term. Direct attention to pages 20–21. Reinforce that these pages show how the music helps CJ imagine. Ask this question:

What is CJ imagining while he listens to the music?

Key Ideas

• sunset colors and crashing waves

• hawks flying in the sky

• butterflies in the moonlight

6. Introduce the learning task. Instruct students to Think–Pair–Share to answer this question:

How do the words and illustrations show what CJ is imagining?

Differentiation Support

• What do the words describe?

• What do the illustrations show?

Analyze Student Progress

Monitor: Do students use examples from the words and images on pages 20–21 to describe what CJ imagines?

Offer Immediate Support: If students need additional support describing what CJ imagines, direct attention to one of the animals pictured on pages 20–21 and instruct them to describe what they see.

Plan Future Practice: Students practice examining illustrations in “Smelly” Kelly and His Super Senses in lesson 26.

Definition

imagine (v.): to think or create something in your mind

Key Ideas

• The words tell about sunset colors, crashing waves, hawks in the sky, and butterflies in the light of the moon.

• The illustration shows CJ floating in the sky, a full moon, butterflies, and birds.

• The words and illustrations work together to tell about CJ’s experience.

Write

| Draw and Label Evidence | 18 minutes

1. Tell students that they examined the words and illustrations in Last Stop on Market Street to better understand the main characters’ experiences. Now they will continue to examine the text to identify how one character, CJ, uses his senses.

2. Remind students that in the previous lesson they identified what CJ saw while on his bus ride. Explain that today they will look for evidence of how CJ uses his sense of hearing by drawing pictures of what CJ hears.

3. Display the Module Task 1 prompt. Echo Read step 1 of the prompt: Draw and write to show CJ using one of his senses on the bus ride.

4. Display the class Evidence Organizer for Last Stop on Market Street. Read aloud the title. Explain that students will draw on a sticky note a picture of one thing that CJ hears while on the bus. Then they will add their drawing to the Hear section of the class organizer.

5. Direct attention to the illustration on pages 16–17. Model how to gather evidence from the text by drawing on a sticky note a picture of what CJ hears, and then label the picture. Think aloud to narrate the thought process for determining what to include on the sticky note.

Sample Think Aloud

On this page, I notice CJ hears talking. I am drawing a picture of the man who is blind talking to Nana because that is something CJ hears. I am labeling the man and Nana talking with the letter t. CJ uses his ears to hear the talking.

Kindergarten | Module 1 | Arc C | Lesson 14 155
Arts & Letters | © Great Minds PBC

6. Distribute a sticky note to each student. Instruct partners to examine pages 13–22 to determine how CJ uses his sense of hearing on the bus ride.

7. Introduce the learning task. Instruct students to draw and label on their sticky note one thing that CJ hears.

Analyze Student Progress

Monitor: Do students draw and label at least one thing CJ hears on the bus ride?

Offer Immediate Support: If students need additional support identifying something CJ hears on the bus ride, direct them to the illustrations on pages 18–19 and tell them to describe what they see.

Plan Future Practice: Students practice drawing to represent a sensory experience in Rap a Tap Tap in lesson 20.

8. Instruct students to add their sticky notes to the Hear section of the evidence organizer. Invite a few students to share their drawings.

Essential Question | How do people use their senses to experience the world?

Content Framing Question | Wonder: What do I notice about this text?

OVERVIEW

Preview

In this Wonder lesson, students listen closely to the first reading of Rap a Tap Tap and notice about the text and illustrations. Students practice noticing, drawing, and labeling something from selected passages. During writing instruction, students view a video of Bill “Bojangles” Robinson dancing and identify what senses they use to experience the video. Collecting evidence about how they use their senses prepares students to respond to Module Task 2.

Learning Goals

Notice about Rap a Tap Tap.

LEARNING TASK: Draw and label at least one thing you notice about pages 22–25 in Rap a Tap Tap.

For Module Task 2, identify one sense with its corresponding body part that you use to experience the video “Bill Robinson, the Inimitable.”

LEARNING TASK: For Module Task 2, use sentence frames to share one sense with its corresponding body part that you use to experience the video “Bill Robinson, the Inimitable.”

1. Direct attention to Rap a Tap Tap.

2. Display the character and setting story stones. Remind students that story stones help them identify the most important parts of the story. Remind students that they used story stones to find the main characters in Last Stop on Market Street, CJ and Nana. Explain that today they will use the story stones to find the main character and main setting of Rap a Tap Tap. Remind students that the main character is the character the story is mostly about, and the main setting is when and where most of the story takes place.

3. Direct attention to the character story stone. Ask this question: What are you looking for when you use this stone?

4. Reinforce the correct response: A character is a person or a creature in a story. Tell students that the main character is Bill “Bojangles” Robinson. Remind students that he was a real person and that they viewed a video of him in the previous lesson.

5. Explain that students will use another story stone to examine the text.

7. Remind students that story stones help them identify important parts of the story. Direct attention to the setting story stone, and reinforce that the setting tells when and where a story takes place.

Language Support

To help students understand the difference between when and where, determine a gesture to signify each word. Practice using the gestures while asking time- and location-specific questions.

8. Distribute a setting story stone to each student. Instruct students to raise the setting story stone each time the setting in the story changes.

9. Read aloud pages 4–9, starting with “There once was.” Each time the author introduces a new setting, pause to help students identify the settings and practice using the story stones. Ask these questions:

What is the setting of this part of the story? How do you know?

Differentiation Support

If students seem unsure in their responses, display the setting story stone and think aloud to model how to identify the setting of this part of the story as a city.

Key Ideas

• The setting is a city, because the illustration shows tall buildings.

• The setting is a city, because the illustration shows an elevated train system.

10. Read aloud pages 10–13, starting with “He danced past.” Each time the author introduces a new setting, pause to help students identify the setting and practice using the story stones. Direct attention to the illustrations on pages 12–13. Display the setting story stone and ask these questions:

What is the setting of this part of the story? How do you know?

11. Reinforce the correct responses: The setting is at night, because the illustrations show the moon and stars in the sky. The setting is a city, because the illustrations show a lot of buildings.

Definition setting (n.): when and where a story takes place

Sample Think Aloud

I am looking at the illustrations to identify the setting, or where the story takes place. There is a train on a track above the buildings, like might exist in a big city. The buildings are tall, and the people on the street appear to be shopping at the fruit cart. These details make me think that the setting is a big city.

1. Read aloud pages 14–23, starting with “He danced through” to “think of that!” Each time the author introduces a new setting, pause to help students identify the settings and practice using the story stones. Display the setting story stone and ask these questions: What is the setting in this part of the story? How do you know?

2. Reinforce the correct responses: The setting is a city, because the illustrations show a lot of people. The setting is in the daytime, because the illustrations show a sun in the sky. Remind students that understanding when and where a story takes place can help readers understand more about a story.

3. Display the class Story Map for Rap a Tap Tap. Direct attention to the Characters section, and reinforce that the character is Bojangles by reading the label. Direct attention to the Setting section of the story map, and think aloud to model how to choose which details of the setting to draw.

4. Explain that students will add a drawing of the setting to their story maps. Remind students that the setting shows where and when a story takes place. Reinforce that the story takes place in the city, but the time when the story takes place changes. Some illustrations show the city during the daytime, but others show the city during the nighttime.

Differentiation Challenge

To extend student thinking across texts, ask these questions: How are the settings in Rap a Tap Tap and Last Stop on Market Street similar? How are they different?

Sample Think Aloud

When I am thinking about the setting, I want to make sure I add details that show where the story takes place and also the time of day when the story takes place.

Teacher Note

Labeling with letters is important because it gives the reader more information about what the picture shows. Labeling with letters is a skill students will refine over the course of the year as they explore letter and sound relationships. Applying this skill helps solidify foundational reading and writing skills. When modeling how to label, follow the guidance of your foundational skills program.

4. Direct students to the illustration at the top of page 11. Reinforce that a big city full of buildings is the setting of the story. Add a drawing and label of the city to the Setting section of the class story map.

6. Reinforce the correct response: The settings for Last Stop on Market Street and Rap a Tap Tap are also cities.

7. Direct students to the illustration on page 6. Reinforce that much of this lesson’s story takes place in the city’s underground subway. Introduce the vocabulary term subway. Say the term aloud, and instruct students to repeat it. Define the term. Point to the illustration on page 6 to help students understand the term’s meaning.

8. Remind students that they learned about the subway in the “Subway Smells” video. Emphasize that the story takes place in both an aboveground and an underground setting in a city.

Differentiation Challenge

To extend student thinking related to settings, ask these questions:

• Why is the setting important to the story?

• How might the story be different if Smelly Kelly did not go into the subway?

Sample Think Aloud

On this page, I am looking for how Smelly Kelly uses his senses. I notice Smelly Kelly is making a funny face. He seems to be reacting to a stench, or a bad smell, and there are a lot of green, wavy lines around him. The words of the story tell me that Smelly Kelly uses his nose to identify that the stench comes from elephants. This means he is using his sense of smell.

Lesson 28

Essential Question | How do people use their senses to experience the world?

Content Framing Question | Know: How does this text build our knowledge?

OVERVIEW Preview

In this Know lesson, students watch “Subway Smells” again to deepen their knowledge about the setting of the story: an underground subway. Learning more about riding the subway prepares students to share new knowledge that connects to the five senses. During writing instruction, students share their work so they may learn from each other. They present their completed response to Module Task 3.

Learning Goals

Build knowledge about the subway by viewing “Subway Smells.”

LEARNING TASK: Form a knowledge statement about riding the subway.

Present a response to Module Task 3.

LEARNING TASK: For Module Task 3, share a response about how Smelly Kelly uses two of his senses.

2. Introduce the learning task. Encourage students to think about the knowledge they built from the video and the text. Instruct students to Think–Pair–Share to answer this question:

What did you learn about riding the subway?

Differentiation Support

• Why do people ride the subway?

• How do people use their senses when they ride the subway?

Teacher Note

Though the learning task focuses on students’ understanding of the content, the task also provides students an opportunity to practice their oral language skills. Students practice speaking loudly enough for others to hear them and sharing an idea connected to the topic during the Know lessons in this module.

Analyze Student Progress

Monitor: Do students demonstrate knowledge about how subways help people travel around cities?

Offer Immediate Support: If students need additional support forming a knowledge statement about the subway, display the illustrations on pages 6–7 or 32–33 of “Smelly” Kelly and His Super Senses to reinforce details about subways.

Plan Future Practice: Students practice forming knowledge statements in lesson 33.

3. Reinforce any responses that provide an on-topic statement from the video or the text (e.g., subways allow people to travel in an underground setting in cities).

4. Add a few student-generated knowledge statements to the charts.

1. Explain that students will listen to a part of Fry Bread again to understand what is happening in the text. Direct attention to the front cover of the text. Explain that an author sometimes organizes information in a book by the main topic and key details.

Teacher Note

Fry Bread has two distinct sections. One section uses literal language and the other figurative. This lesson deals with the literal section of Fry Bread. Students will explore the figurative section of the text in the Reveal lesson.

2. Remind students that details are small pieces of information. Direct attention to the collection of buttons. Tell students that they will use the buttons to keep track of the details they notice in the text.

3. Distribute the text to pairs. Direct attention to the illustrations on pages 2–3 and read aloud, starting with “Fry Bread Is Food.” Think aloud to model how to find details on these pages.

4. As you place a button in the box, explain that one detail about fry bread is that it is food.

Sample Think Aloud

I see the words in red and the heading for this page say “Fry Bread Is Food.” I read all of the ingredients: flour, salt, water, cornmeal, milk, and sugar. All of these ingredients are mixed together to make a batter for fry bread. I would not eat flour or cornmeal alone because that would not taste good. But when prepared with other ingredients, they can make something delicious. When the people prepare all of the ingredients together, they make food. Fry bread is food. I am going to add that detail to the box.

Read | Prepare for a Discussion | 20 minutes

1. Introduce students to the term Socratic seminar. Explain that just like discussions during Distill lessons, a Socratic seminar is a discussion based on texts. During the seminar, everyone shares what they think about an important question and supports their ideas with examples from the texts. Students will prepare for the Socratic seminar by choosing an example from a text that shows how people use their senses to experience the world. During a Socratic seminar, the important question is the Essential Question.

Teacher Note

If time allows, briefly note that the name of the Socratic seminar comes from the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates. Share that Socrates loved teaching by asking his students challenging questions and discussing them together.

2. Tell students that in previous discussions they shared the knowledge they gained from reading each module text. In this discussion, students will talk about the knowledge they gained from reading all of the module texts.

3. Direct attention to the covers of the module texts to remind students of the books they read during this module. Tell students that each book added to their understanding of how a person uses their senses to experience the world.

4. Explain that just like in previous class discussions, students will prepare for the Socratic seminar by collecting evidence from books. Tell students that they will choose an example from a module text that shows how a person in the book uses their senses to experience the world. Remind students that the characters in the module 1 texts are people, so students can use examples from any of the texts to answer the Essential Question.

Kindergarten | Module 1 | Module Finale | Lesson 36 357

5. Direct attention to the stations for each module text located throughout the classroom. Explain that students will review the module 1 texts through a Gallery Walk. They will rotate in small groups to explore the illustrations and remember what happened in each text. After looking closely at a text, they will think about the Essential Question and point to an illustration that shows how a person in the book uses their senses to experience the world.

6. Model how to participate in the Gallery Walk. Think aloud as you walk to Last Stop on Market Street, look closely at the illustrations on several pages, and then display page 13 and point to CJ using his sense of sight.

7. Organize students into small groups. Assign each group a station to begin. During each rotation, give students a few minutes to look closely at the illustrations in the text and to turn to a partner and point to an illustration that shows a person using their senses. Signal to students when they should rotate to the next station. Continue until students have had the opportunity to explore each module text.

8. Bring groups back together. Tell students that they will now practice sharing a response to the Essential Question. Remind students that to prepare for a discussion, speakers think about what they want to say and how they want to say it. Ask this question:

What speaking and listening goals have you practiced?

9. Reinforce the correct responses:

• Speak loudly enough for others to hear you.

• Share an idea connected to the topic.

10. Encourage students to think carefully about the illustrations they pointed to during the Gallery Walk. Tell students to choose one example that shows how a person from a module text uses their senses. Instruct students to discuss this question with a partner: How does a person in a module text use their senses to experience the world?

11. Invite students to reflect on how they shared their response by encouraging them to think about whether they spoke loudly enough to be heard and whether they stayed on topic by answering the question with an example from a module text.

Sample Think Aloud

First, I go with my group to our first module text station. Next, I spend a little time looking closely at the illustrations. The illustrations help me remember what happened in this book. They also show me how CJ and Nana use their senses. Since I am looking for an answer to the Essential Question, I am trying to find a picture that shows CJ using his senses to experience the world. Oh, here, I found CJ using his eyes to see the butterflies! I will remember this example to answer the Essential Question in our class discussion.

1. Instruct students to form a discussion circle for the Socratic seminar.

2. Tell students that combining their ideas and textual evidence to prepare for sharing ideas with others is a part of research. Reinforce that in a Socratic seminar students share their ideas about a topic and learn from one another.

3. Remind students of the two speaking and listening goals they practiced during the module: Speak loudly enough for others to hear you and share an idea connected to the topic.

Teacher Note

During the discussion, use the Module 1 Speaking and Listening Goal Tracker, located on the digital platform, to monitor student progress toward these goals. Focus attention on monitoring the progress of students who have not yet met the two speaking and listening goals of the module.

4. Explain that students will now engage in a Socratic seminar about how the people in the module texts use their senses to experience the world. Instruct students to use a nonverbal signal (e.g., a thumbs-up) when they hear an example like their own. Select name sticks until all students have shared their examples.

5. Begin the Socratic seminar by Echo Reading the Essential Question: How do people use their senses to experience the world?

6. Introduce the learning task. Facilitate the discussion by inviting students to share an example from the texts of how people use their senses to experience the world.

Teacher Note

If students identify only one sense, encourage them to identify an additional sense that the person in the text could use to experience the same item. For example, if a student shares that Smelly Kelly smells gas leaks, instruct them to identify another sense that Smelly Kelly could use to discover gas leaks.

Plan Future Practice: Students practice contributing ideas to a Socratic seminar in module 2.

Key Ideas

• CJ hears a guitar on the bus ride.

• Smelly Kelly smells gas leaks on the subway.

• The boy touches the puppy.

• The people hear Bojangles’s feet tapping.

• The family smells and tastes fry bread.

7. Bring the Socratic seminar to a close by acknowledging all that students have learned about the five senses in this module. Explain that students will engage in Socratic seminars again at the end of each module.

Write | Introduce the End-of-Module Task | 15 minutes

1. Introduce students to the term End-of-Module Task. Explain that just like the other module tasks, the End-of-Module Task is an opportunity for students to show the knowledge they have gained by drawing and writing to respond to a prompt.

2. Display and Echo Read the prompt for the End-of-Module Task: Draw and write to show yourself using two senses while on a walk. Circle the two pictures that show which body parts you use in your drawing.

3. Remind students that to complete Module Task 2, they watched a video of Bojangles tap dancing and collected evidence of how they used their senses to experience the video. Explain that to respond to the prompt for the End-of-Module Task, students will go on a walk in the next lesson to collect evidence of how they use their senses. Emphasize that students will use evidence from the walk to answer the prompt for the End-of-Module Task.

4. Tell students that before they go on the real walk they will pretend to go on a walk by reading Rap a Tap Tap to practice collecting evidence. They will imagine all the things they might see, hear, smell, touch, and taste if they were walking with Bojangles as he dances through the city.

5. Read aloud Rap a Tap Tap. Briefly pause at the end of each page and encourage students to look closely at the illustrations to imagine something they might see, hear, smell, touch, or taste. Invite students to point to a body part to indicate the sense that they are pretending to use.

6. Direct attention to the illustration on pages 6–7. Think aloud and point to your eyes to model how to use evidence from the text to answer the prompt for the End-of-Module Task.

7. Introduce the learning task. Direct students to Rap a Tap Tap. Instruct students to find examples of something they might see, hear, smell, touch, or taste in the city.

Analyze Student Progress

Monitor: Do students identify something they might see, hear, smell, touch, or taste in the city?

Offer Immediate Support: If students need additional support identifying something they might see, hear, smell, touch, or taste, direct them to the illustration on pages 8–9 and instruct them to point to an object in the illustration and describe the sense they would use to experience the object.

Plan Future Practice: Students practice collecting evidence to respond to the prompt for the End-of-Module Task in lesson 37.

8. Invite a few students to share their examples. Encourage students to point to their matching body part to show what sense they are pretending to use. Reinforce responses that use evidence from the text to answer the prompt.

Sample Think Aloud I am pretending that I am walking along, following Bojangles. I notice he is looking at the man and baby, so I look at them too. I see the man is sitting on a bench. I use my eyes.

3. Explain that students can better understand the prompt for the End-of-Module Task if they look at a model response or an example. Read aloud the class Model Response for the End-ofModule Task by describing the drawing and using the sentence frames.

Model Response

I see a bench. I use my eyes. I touch a fence. I use my hands.

Teacher Note

Model Response for the End-of-Module Task

The model response is an example of an on-target response. For this reason, the model includes labels with a single letter, or the beginning sound of the words the labels are meant to represent. Some students will be able to write advanced responses. For example, they may be able to string a few letters together to represent words. Consider students’ level of phonetic knowledge to help gauge which students may be ready to write more. See the Assessment Guide for more information, including an example of an advanced response.

4. Ask this question:

What do you notice about this model?

Key Ideas

• drawing of a person

• drawing of a bench with label b

• drawing of a fence with label f

5. Think aloud to reinforce how the model answers the prompt. Direct attention to each element in the model as you describe it.

Sample Think Aloud

If I were responding to the prompt, I would need to make sure I showed myself on the walk, just like here in the model. Then I would need to make sure to draw and write how I use my senses. In the model, the person sees the bench. They are using their eyes. The person also touches the fence. They are using their hands. All these items are included in the drawing: the person, their eyes, their hands. the bench, and the fence. Finally, I would need to make sure to label my drawing. The model has labels. The bench is labeled with a b, and the fence is labeled with an f.

6. Instruct students to look closely at the model as you read aloud step 1 of the prompt for the End-of-Module Task: Draw and write to show yourself using two senses while on a walk. Instruct students to use a nonverbal signal (e.g., draw a check mark in the air) to confirm a yes response, and ask these questions:

Does the model show a person on a walk?

Does the model show the person using two different senses?

Does the model include drawing and writing?

Does the model include labels?

7. Reinforce the correct responses: Yes. Remind students that a model helps students understand what to do to correctly respond to the prompt. Explain that students will collect evidence and use their own ideas to complete the End-of-Module Task.

Write | Collect Evidence for the End-of-Module Task | 25 minutes

1. Tell students that now they will go on a walk to collect evidence to complete the End-of-Module Task.

3. During the walk, pause periodically and encourage students to think about one of the senses. For each sense, instruct students to point to the body part they are using and to turn to a partner and describe what they are experiencing with that sense. Encourage students to use the sentence frames to describe their experience:

• I see . I use my .

• I hear . I use my .

• I smell . I use my .

• I touch . I use my .

4. Introduce the learning task. Once everyone has returned to the classroom, tell students to imagine being back on the walk. Instruct students to Think–Pair–Share to answer this question:

How do you use two of your senses on the walk?

Language Support

Provide these sentence frames:

• I see . I use my

• I hear . I use my .

• I smell . I use my .

• I touch . I use my

Analyze Student Progress

About the Images

The images for this module represent sensory experiences through various types of artistry, such as painting or basketry. As students explore texts about the five senses, these images help guide them to answer the Essential Question: How do people use their senses to experience the world?

Image 1 is a photograph of the Grande Galerie in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. Visiting an art museum and studying a painting, a sculpture, or a handmade object can provide vivid sensory experiences through different environments, textures, and colors.

Image 2 is Still Life with Apples and a Pot of Primroses by the French artist Paul Cézanne. Students may connect the fruit with the sense of taste and biting into a juicy, crunchy apple. Image 3 shows a cooking basket traditionally used to boil water and make acorn soup, which also represents the sense of taste. This basket was handmade by Mary Tecuyas, a woman of the Tübatulabal people of California.

In Image 4, the large eyes painted on the funerary mask represent the sense of sight. Ancient Egyptians depicted the eyes in this manner to ensure the deceased had sight in the afterlife.

Image 5 is Soleil, tour, aéroplane (Sun, Tower, Airplane), a painting by French artist Robert Delaunay. The orange and red colors represent the Sun’s warmth, which students may connect with the sense of touch.

French artist Claude Monet painted Arrival of the Normandy Train, Gare Saint-Lazare, Image 6. The billowing clouds of steam rise to the glass and iron ceiling as the locomotive pulls into the train station. Students may be able to imagine the smell of burning coal and oiled steel wheels on iron tracks.

Image 7 represents the sense of sound with an illustration of Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, an American tap dancer and the subject of the module text Rap a Tap Tap.
