[edit] Overview
Objectives:
- Students will identify main ideas and summarize the supporting details.
- Students describe aspects of the author's purpose across a variety of texts.
- Students will recall information from their personal experiences for use in answering an open response question.
- Theme sorting charts: Saturdays and Teacakes and Children of the Dust Bowl
- Chart paper
- Markers
- Class "A Story Map"
- Main Idea graphic organizer
- Paper
- Book, Saturdays and Teacakes
- Book, Children of the Dust Bowl
- Culminating Activity: Open Response Question
- Pencils
- Review the concept of the author's purpose (persuade, inform, entertain). Ask students:
- What is the author's purpose in Saturdays and Teacakes? (to entertain)
- What is the author's purpose in "Our School" from Children of the Dust Bowl? (to inform)
- Explain to students that even though the author's purposes differed in the two texts, some of the themes overlapped when we sorted the theme strips in our prior lessons. Show students the two T-charts:
- As the teacher reviews the concept of author's purpose, provide the same accommodations as in Lesson 2, Introduction, step 1.
- Provide the two theme/not theme T-charts just as developed and provided in Lesson 2, Body, step 6 (Saturdays and Teacakes) and Lesson 4, Body, step 4 (Children of the Dustbowl).
- As the teacher reviews the concept of author's purpose, provide the same accommodations as in Lesson 2, Introduction, step 1.
- Provide the two theme/not theme T-charts just as developed and provided in Lesson 2, Body, step 6 (Saturdays and Teacakes) and Lesson 4, Body, step 4 (Children of the Dustbowl).
- Students compare the T-charts and tell the teacher which themes appeared in both texts. The teacher lists the themes (childhood memories, relationships, friendship, and coming of age) on chart paper, board, etc. Keep these themes posted in an area where students can refer to them easily.
- Post the large version of "A Story Map" with student responses recorded on it. Review results with students. Ask students:
- Who were the characters? (Mammaw, boy)
- What was the setting? (Mammaw's house/yard in the 1960's)
- What were the key events? (answers will vary, reiterate the class consensus on key events written on story maps)
- Post the Main Ideas graphic organizer. Ask various students to read aloud the main ideas and supporting details that the groups shared from the prior jigsaw activity.
- Remind students that in prior lessons they identified key events and details in the two texts. They wrote these on sticky notes and placed it next to the appropriate theme.
- Have student match themes across both T-charts. For example, if the T-charts have themes attached with hook-and-loop tape, the student can peel off "Childhood Memories" from the Saturdays and Teacakes T-chart and match to the "Childhood Memories" on the Children of the Dustbowl T-chart. Then that theme gets placed on a "common themes" folder or in an envelope.
- Provide the personal Story Map developed in Lesson 1, Practice, steps 2-4.
- Provide the personal Main Idea graphic organizer developed in Lesson 3, Practice, step 2.
- Provide the two texts with the sticky notes (or other annotations).

- Provide the two texts with the sticky notes (or other annotations).
- Students work with a partner to choose the theme that best fits both texts. They refer to the posted charts and graphic organizers to provide evidence to support their choice. Copies of Saturdays and Teacakes and Children of the Dust Bowl are also available for students to use.
- Partners write down author's theme and list evidence. They share their results with the large group. Discuss the overall results when all partners have shared. If there is not a consensus with the groups, have a discussion that leads students to the theme: coming of age.
- Present the following statements to students: "Don't worry, Mammaw. I won't ever forget" and "...they learned a most important lesson. They were as good as anybody else." Discuss the power of the author's word choice and how it supports the theme, coming of age.
- Using the personal T-charts and the "common themes" bank developed in this lesson, Body, step 1, have the student work with his or partner and make a choice of the most appropriate theme. They could review each common theme in the context of each text and first sort into categories of "maybe" and "no". This should help narrow down the themes to compare and make a subsequent choice.
- During the large group report-out and discussion, allow the student to provide information using his or her preferred mode of communication.
- Present the statements to the student in the accommodated form which has been used in all previous lessons.
