The Big Idea • Have students look at the pictures on pages 2-3.

• Ask: What are these people doing? (They are going into their school.) How are they similar and different from you? (I go to school. I ride the bus to school.)

• Read the title of the unit to students. Have students repeat after or choral read the title a second time.

• Read The Big Idea: What makes you special?

• Ask them about things that make them special. Children may offer ideas such as how they dance, how they draw, how they read, or how they play sports.

• Ask: What are your favorite things to do? When do you do them?

(My favorite thing to do is ride my bike after school.) Have children discuss with partners or in groups and then share their ideas with the class.

• Let children know that they will discuss the Big Idea throughout the unit. Each week, they will talk, read, and write about an Essential Question related to the Big Idea.

• Say: The story, “Jack Can,” is what we call realistic fiction.

Let’s read about realistic fiction together.

• Read with students from the top of page 23.

Realistic fiction is a genre. Realistic fiction stories are made up.

They have characters that do things that could happen in real life.

Guided Practice / Practice • Guide students to write the name of two characters. Then write something they each do that could happen in real life. Say: In the box on the left, we need to answer the question, “Who could be real?” by writing in the names of two characters. Who can we write in this box? (Max, Jack, Nan) In the box on the right, we need to answer the question, “What could really happen?” (Depending on which characters they chose, students should be able to write in something that character did, since any of the actions could have occurred in real life.)

• If there is time available, have students share to compare all three characters and the things they did that could have happened in real life.

• Reread “Jack Can” and share how you know it is realistic fiction.

Explain • Have students look at page 24.

• Say: To help us really understand what is happening in a story, we need to look for the key details.

Let’s read about key details together.

• Read with students from the top of page 24.

Key details are the most important details in a story. Words and pictures in a story give you the key details.

Reread “Jack Can.” Talk about key details in the story.

Use the words and pictures.
