Materials: // Katie’s Trunk //by Ann Turner, illustrations by Ron Himler Lesson Sequence:  · Before Reading:  o “Girls and boys today we will be reading a book about the Revolutionary War. I want you to look at the cover. What do you think this story is about?”  o Pause for Response.  o “Those are great predictions. I want to ask can someone tell me what a loyalist is?  o Pause for response.  o “Great answer. Now can someone tell me what a patriot is?”  o Pause for Response.  o “Wonderful. I know we have been discussing this often, but I want you to focus on making predictions and how you can connect to the story”.  o After this I will begin reading.  · During Reading:  o “The story we will be reading is called Katie’s Trunk by Ann Turner.  o I will read until Katie’s family flees from their home.  o “I want everyone to think of how this little girl feels. She is about your age. How would you feel?”  o Pause for response.  o “Good and what do you think will happen next?” <span style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 1.0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l3 level2 lfo4; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: -.25in;"> o Pause for Response. <span style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 1.0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l3 level2 lfo4; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: -.25in;"> o “Great answers.” I will now continue reading. <span style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 1.0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l3 level2 lfo4; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: -.25in;"> o Once Katie finds herself in the trunk I will pause again. “How do you think Kaite feels right now?

I will tell the student’s. “Katie’s mom is a caring, but strict woman. I know this on the page where she is scolding Katie and telling her she needs to sew lines to get straight. Katie’s mom shows that she is strict. She is kind on the last page where she shows her true worry because Katie ran back to the house and she was afraid that she had lost her daughter.

Once I have given them enough time to work on this I will ask for them to hand them in. I will be able to look over them to check to see if they have understood this. If they haven’t I will take them aside before the next lesson and individually discuss it with them. <span style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l2 level1 lfo2; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: -.25in;"> 6.
