00:07	what are we here to learn ? We are .
00:11	I can identify the main idea and supporting details from
00:15	what I read and create a summary Using the supporting
00:19	details . Give yourself a pat on the back if
00:21	you're ready . Hey let's turn those papers over that
00:25	you have on your desk . This is your opportunity
00:29	to do a close reading activity where you read that
00:32	article . You can use your pencil to highlight any
00:36	information that you think will help you in finding the
00:39	main idea . We're going to be using the reading
00:42	cards , The blue reading cards . So when you're
00:44	done simply turn it over so we'll know when we
00:46	can move on . You may begin . Mhm .
01:04	Mhm . Okay . Stop . Thank you for all
01:12	reading that passage on your own and marking key information
01:15	that you found in the text . I will now
01:18	read it to you . Feel free to also mark
01:20	something . If you don't feel you got it on
01:21	your read . Feel free to market at this time
01:24	. Water striders imagine yourself zooming across the top of
01:28	a pond or lake without sinking in while . This
01:32	might be hard for you to do . It is
01:35	easy for a water strider . A water strider is
01:39	a water bug that looks like a large mosquito .
01:42	What makes it different from a mosquito , however ,
01:45	is the fact that it can walk across the water
01:49	. You can find water striders on the surface of
01:51	some ponds , marshes and still water . Water striders
01:56	do more than just walk across the water . They
01:59	also catch and eat their meals on the water as
02:01	well additionally , because they spend more of their time
02:06	on the water , Water striders feed mostly on other
02:09	insects that live near water . In fact , water
02:13	striders only go inland when rain or strong winds forced
02:18	them off the water . The design of a water
02:21	striders body makes it easy for the insect to walk
02:25	on the water . Its body is only one half
02:28	inch long and it is covered with scales that keep
02:31	it from getting heavy and sinking . Like all insects
02:35	, the water strider has six legs . The front
02:38	pair of legs is short while the middle and back
02:41	legs are very long . The longer legs can spread
02:44	over a larger area of water and are useful for
02:47	rowing and steering across the water . No one leg
02:51	is heavy enough to sink the insect . Water striders
02:55	also have very good vision and can move quickly .
02:59	These traits helped keep them from becoming prey or food
03:03	for other insects . Okay , now it's time for
03:07	us to work on some text dependent questions . We're
03:10	going to play bingo while we answer the questions today
03:15	, you have some spiders that you're going to use
03:18	as your markers . Here's how the game will be
03:21	played . Your entire group is one team . I
03:26	will tell you what row or column we're working on
03:29	at that time . Whenever I show you what row
03:33	or column we're working on , your team is going
03:36	to try to find the answers to those questions .
03:39	They must be highlighted in the text and you must
03:43	be able to tell me where you found it with
03:45	the paragraph in the sentence number . Here we go
03:49	. The first thing we're gonna work on is across
03:51	the top . What insects does , what insect does
03:55	a water strider resemble ? How would you describe the
03:58	size of a water strider ? What fat can you
04:01	select to show the speed of a water strider ?
04:04	Go uh , martin mosquito . It looks like a
04:11	large mosquito . Yeah , okay , so put a
04:19	spider , right , what's your answer going to be
04:24	? Okay , we're going to find it in the
04:36	text . You have to be able to highlight it
04:39	to use it for an answer . What fact can
04:41	you select to show the speed of a water strider
04:45	? Abby has an answer , share it , Abby
04:49	. What did you see ? I saw sense five
05:00	going and finish awesome job , awesome . Okay .
05:08	I heard my first group water striders . I heard
05:11	it . Okay , let's see if they've got it
05:14	now they're gonna help you out . Because remember when
05:16	we respond , the first thing we do is tell
05:20	the paragraph , then the sentence number , then we
05:23	give our fact but then we answer our question and
05:27	I'm gonna type the answer up here that way you'll
05:29	make sure you've highlighted the correct section . Here we
05:32	go . Which insect does a water strider resemble Hudson
05:36	? Can you tell me where you found that answer
05:38	, paragraph two sentence one of a water strider is
05:41	a water bug that looks like a large mosquito .
05:43	Okay , so he said paragraph two , sentence one
05:47	. And what is your answer then ? Large mosquito
05:52	? A large mosquito . He is correct looking good
06:01	. Next one . How would you describe the size
06:04	of a water strider ? How would you describe the
06:07	size ? I'm still on this table because they were
06:09	the first group victor . Can you answer that question
06:12	for us ? I'm paragraph for the second center and
06:15	says , Its body is only 1/2 in lock .
06:20	Ready looking good . Two out of three . Let's
06:26	see if they can get the last one . What
06:28	facts can you select to show the speed of a
06:32	water strider ? Dylan ? It's your turn , paragraph
06:35	five sentence one says water striders also have very good
06:40	vision and can move quickly . She got it ready
06:44	, looking good , Great job . Now we are
06:48	moving to the center column . The next question is
06:53	, since the title of the article is water striders
06:58	, would you find a water strider on land ?
07:02	Next 1 ? How would you summarize what water striders
07:07	eat ? Go , Sure , well , it's time
07:13	to wake . You have to do this . You
07:15	know , we don't she only said this column right
07:19	now , but you'll need to highlight that answer to
07:21	be able to put a spider there . You'd have
07:23	to highlight that . Did you highlighted when we went
07:25	over it ? Okay , make sure your whole group
07:28	has that highlighted and you can put you a spider
07:30	there . If not in a minute , you won't
07:32	be able to use it . Does everyone have it
07:35	? Okay . Now you can now go , I
07:40	think , I think , you know , it's the
07:44	third time I think that you possibly could find it
07:55	possibly . Okay . But remember we worked on opinions
07:59	and our prior knowledge , we can't bring any of
08:01	that to the text . So you have to be
08:04	able to find it in that passage to highlight it
08:07	spends most of the time . That's okay . But
08:10	the question is look since the title the articles water
08:13	striders , would you find a water strider on land
08:16	? No , remember I uh something pushes it off
08:23	. Okay . Find that you're getting there , find
08:25	it . She said I remember but now help her
08:28	find it . She remembers it , talked about it
08:29	pushing it off . I heard one right here let's
08:34	give everyone another second or two to work on it
08:37	a little bit further . But you are the group
08:38	that I heard . Okay , Okay . Stop .
08:42	Emily's group up here thinks they have the answers now
08:45	. Remember if your group didn't get to it ,
08:47	you need to listen to where you can find the
08:50	information in the text and highlight it . If you
08:53	highlight it you can give yourself a spider because you
08:56	need all the spiders you can get on there .
08:59	Okay ? Emily , here we go . It says
09:00	since the title of the article is water striders ,
09:03	would you find a water strider on land ? No
09:09	it's no because it says in paragraph three on the
09:12	last sentence . In fact water striders only go inland
09:16	when rain or strong winds forced them off the water
09:18	. That is the text she needed . Now Emily
09:22	, let me ask you that question . The question
09:24	is would you find a water strider on land ?
09:29	No not usually . Okay but listen to it one
09:33	more time . In fact , water striders only go
09:36	inland when rain or strong wind forces them off the
09:41	water . Do you know what inland is ? Emily
09:43	? Yes , ma'am . Okay . So will they
09:45	ever go on land ? Yes when it's raining or
09:50	it's blowing really hard wind ? Okay . When they're
09:52	forced that way . Even though they're called water striders
09:56	, you could possibly find them on land . Okay
10:01	. And next one josh answer this one for me
10:04	. How would you summarize what water striders eat ?
10:09	Mm hmm , paragraph three second sentence . Uh Well
10:15	, third sentence additional . It says additionally because they
10:19	spend most of their time on water . Water striders
10:23	being mostly on instead insects that live near water .
10:28	Let's give both Emily and josh are cheer looking good
10:34	. Again , if you highlighted that , even if
10:36	your group didn't make it , you can put you
10:38	a spider there . Next row , here we go
10:44	. Bottom row , bottom row , what would happen
10:48	if water striders lost their vision ? You should already
10:52	have this one answered . And how would you show
10:55	your understanding that water striders don't sink go ? Uh
11:06	Also have very good vision . Can Yeah , Yeah
11:19	, I got that wrong . Uh It says these
11:30	traits keep them from becoming price foods or food present
11:35	. Their striders lost their vision . All right ,
11:39	stop . We've got another group . I like how
11:42	we have different groups finishing what would happen if water
11:46	striders lost their vision . Um Adriana share with us
11:50	where you found that answer In paragraph five sentence one
11:54	that says water strider , water striders also have very
11:59	good vision and can move quickly . Okay , so
12:02	what would be your answer to the question ? What
12:04	would happen if water striders lost their vision and wouldn't
12:07	be able to move very quickly ? We're thinking a
12:09	little deeper though they lost their vision . This is
12:12	going to have a bigger impact on their lives .
12:16	Okay , let's let LS group help us out on
12:18	that . They they highlighted a different fact and see
12:21	if this will change your view here . Well ,
12:25	on the paragraph five , the last sentence it says
12:30	these traits help keep from them coming pray . And
12:35	if they lost their vision , they probably become pray
12:39	because they wouldn't know where they were . And uh
12:43	they might come into where the prey is . Very
12:47	good . Let's go to give her the chair looking
12:51	good . Does that group see how that answer got
12:53	changed ? You were right . They're not going to
12:56	move as fast . Okay , But is that the
12:57	most important fact ? No becoming prey is a lot
13:00	more important . Okay . All right . Okay .
13:06	And the last one on the right , it says
13:08	, how would you show your understanding that water striders
13:12	don't sink , Katie , help me out on that
13:15	. Where did you all find your information ? Their
13:18	body is only one half an inch long and it's
13:22	covered with scales . That would keep some um from
13:25	heavy sinking . Okay so that's paragraph for its uh
13:29	sentence two . Okay I agree that kind of shows
13:34	you they're not gonna sink . But I feel like
13:36	another group got another fact that was just a little
13:39	bit stronger . You're not wrong . You are not
13:42	wrong . But let's see if someone can support it
13:44	a little bit more . Jada . Can you share
13:47	with that with us please ? Paragraph four . The
13:51	lesson says no one leg is heavy enough to sink
13:54	the insect . Okay , so we know it's not
13:57	gonna sink because not even one of its legs is
14:00	heavy enough to sink it . All right . I
14:02	guess you can tell what we have left The Middle
14:05	two Questions . You may go . Let's see if
14:08	another group can get it . How you okay can
14:15	you share with your group what classified means ? How
14:20	would you describe ? How would you describe ? Okay
14:26	, a little more than that ? A classification ?
14:29	Okay . Think of food . Think of food .
14:32	Are there different types of food ? Okay . Name
14:34	some types of food for me . A sandwich .
14:39	Okay . Fruit meat . Did you have anything else
14:46	give me sugar ? Nothing sweet , not a brownie
14:50	or anything . A granola bar . Those are classifications
14:55	. Now you're looking for a classification . A type
15:01	, there's something in the text that's going to help
15:03	you with that . How would you classify it ?
15:10	Think about like the big word food . And then
15:14	we broke it into like categories . What category is
15:19	a water strider gonna fit into ? Or we need
15:24	to work on classify over here . Okay , so
15:27	we put it into categories . I want you to
15:28	take the word classified . Think of the category .
15:31	I wonder what a water strider . What category would
15:34	it fall into in this text ? It tells you
15:38	, It tells you what that is . Where did
15:40	you find that ? Let him find it for you
15:44	. Where did you find that Graham ? What category
15:47	? We're gonna put it in ? Paragraph or paragraph
15:52	four . You're there bad bandit . Like all insects
15:58	. The water Shrider has six legs . That was
16:01	paragraph for Yeah . Right here . Like all insects
16:06	. Great . I'm getting five . Okay . I
16:10	had a group over here . I heard them .
16:12	This one was a little challenging because we had some
16:14	vocab . All right . Have a seat . Have
16:17	a seat . I think our board is full .
16:19	Let's see if we can finish our answers . Classify
16:22	stump . Some people . The word classify that some
16:25	vocab we're gonna need to work on . How would
16:27	you classify water strider ? Um Shelby . Can you
16:30	tell me where you found that ? We count it
16:33	in paragraph four minutes three . Okay . Will you
16:37	read it for me ? It's just like all insects
16:40	. The water strider has six legs . So how
16:43	would you classify it is a what ? And check
16:47	it is an insect . We had to work on
16:49	classify . Okay . Classify . And then the last
16:53	one for the day on questioning is what information would
16:56	you use to support the view that water striders spend
17:00	most of their time on water Brenda . Can you
17:04	answer that for me ? Um In paragraph three ,
17:07	the first sentence , the first two symptoms is it
17:12	says water striders do more than just walk across the
17:15	water . They also catch and eat their meals on
17:17	water as well . Eat and catch their meals on
17:20	water . And then what was the first sentence ?
17:24	Because I think that does help justify your answer .
17:26	They do more than just walk on . Okay .
17:28	They do more than walk . They do more than
17:30	walk both of them get the chair . Yeah ,
17:34	looking good .
