00:06	Okay , before fall break , we were talking about
00:10	a short story that was entitled All Summer in a
00:13	Day . Do you remember that ? Well , we're
00:15	going to discuss that today . We're going to talk
00:17	about it and after we do that , I'm going
00:19	to give you a piece of informational text about a
00:24	planet and you can probably guess what planet is going
00:26	to be about because it's parallel to our story .
00:29	And you're gonna redo a close read on that informational
00:32	text . Okay . We talked about close reads before
00:36	. Do you remember when we read the bracelet ?
00:38	And we had an informational text on Pearl Harbor and
00:42	you have to do a close read on that ,
00:44	which is different than doing just reading it normally .
00:47	Okay , so you're gonna do a close read on
00:49	the informational text on a venus sky show right after
00:55	you do your close read , we're gonna discuss it
00:58	. Then you're going to I'm going to put you
01:00	in groups and you're going to work together to come
01:02	up with the central theme at this or the central
01:05	idea of both the short story as well as the
01:10	informational text . Okay , You're gonna have to come
01:13	to a consensus . Not only give me what you
01:18	think the central idea is , but also using supporting
01:21	details . Okay , details from the text to support
01:25	what you think the central idea of your piece is
01:30	. Okay . Now someone tell me some facts from
01:34	all summer in a day . What are some facts
01:36	that you remember from the story ? Who can give
01:41	me a fact ? Ellie ? Um , it was
01:44	about a little girl who lived on venus and she
01:48	had , it had been rating for seven years and
01:52	she was hoping that the sun would come out .
01:53	Okay . What is this ? Some more information ?
01:55	What is another fact from all summer in a day
01:58	bria ? Another fact from awesome in the day was
02:01	there was a girl named market and she used to
02:03	live on earth , but her family moved to venus
02:07	and she told her classmates that the sun was going
02:09	to come out every seven years . Okay . All
02:12	right . What else ? So I have margate ,
02:14	I have that . It raised for seven years and
02:16	the sun is going to come out eventually . What
02:18	are some other information , factual information from the text
02:21	? Zach the , her classmates walked her in the
02:27	closet at the same time when the sun actually did
02:32	come out and she didn't get to see , she
02:34	did not get to see the sun . Why would
02:36	her classmates lock her in the closet blake ? They
02:42	didn't believe her that . He said that was ,
02:46	she didn't believe that the sun was going to come
02:48	out . Okay . They didn't believe her . So
02:49	they took her and just threw her in a closet
02:52	. What what did the authors say about the students
02:55	reaction after they put her in the closet ? Okay
03:00	. Ray Bradbury made a made it specific for us
03:03	because he wanted us to know how those kids felt
03:06	as they were walking away . Who remembers that part
03:09	jake ? Do you remember that part ? What did
03:11	the authors say ? They felt bad because she was
03:15	right and she wanted to see the right , but
03:18	I want to know what happens right after they walk
03:21	away from the closet . Not after he ran after
03:23	the sun came out , they threw in the closet
03:26	and they walked away . What was their reaction ?
03:28	The teacher came in the room and they all were
03:30	silent . Okay , pretending that market market wasn't going
03:34	. Okay . I'm looking for something else . Lydia
03:37	. Right ? When the sun came out , they
03:39	all went out to play and they were kind of
03:40	surprised that it came out . Okay I'm looking for
03:43	something else . Do you remember Sarah ? Um They
03:48	forgot about her when she was in the closet .
03:51	They did forget about her . Do you remember the
03:53	part where the author specifically says they were snickering and
03:58	giggle lane ? They were feeling happy but because they
04:01	didn't have to deal with Margaret anymore , they were
04:04	feeling happy because they didn't have to deal with her
04:06	anymore . What do you think about the whole incident
04:12	of them putting her in the closet ? Why ?
04:15	She said the sun was going to come out ?
04:16	Okay . We know that much , but why else
04:19	dig deeper . Connor . She probably they probably thought
04:23	she was crazy and she didn't they didn't believe her
04:26	. They wanted her , they want her to be
04:30	punished I guess . Okay . They wanted to punish
04:32	her because she was different . Perhaps Janica . Well
04:37	um I was thinking about it and they did doubt
04:41	her a lot because they didn't believe her but she
04:45	had already seen the Sun . So maybe they were
04:47	a little jealous and they didn't want to be wrong
04:49	. Perhaps jealousy doubt fear . Okay , when things
04:53	are different from us , when people say things that
04:57	we don't believe . Okay . Yes sir . Well
05:00	they kind of thought that she was the one ,
05:02	well she was a student that was kind of the
05:04	oddball because she believed that the sun will come out
05:08	and they've never seen it . So they didn't believe
05:09	her . So they're like well we're gonna put you
05:12	close with your weird we're just gonna put you in
05:15	the closet and get rid of you because you're different
05:17	. Okay . Not such a good thing to do
05:19	. Huh ? Now how does the story end ?
05:24	How does Ray Bradbury conclude this story Aiden , they
05:30	end the story . He ends the story as they
05:33	opened the door . The people who bought the market
05:36	in the door in the closet , they just let
05:39	her out and and it says that she walks out
05:43	and that's when the story ends . Why were you
05:46	looking for something else ? Or you want to turn
05:50	the page and read something else ? Why in the
05:52	world would Ray Bradbury do that to you ? Ham
05:55	? Oh , he wanted to make us think of
05:57	an inference . He wanted to make you infer perhaps
06:02	what do you think happened next ? Okay . Perhaps
06:06	create your own ending to the story . Okay .
06:09	Does anybody know that word that he left you on
06:12	? There was a word at the end of the
06:14	story . He left you what is called Sarah and
06:18	suspense and suspense . Something else . He left you
06:23	hanging . Okay . You ever heard of cliffhangers in
06:26	good movies that you watch ? Okay . That's what
06:28	he did . Okay . To , to kind of
06:30	force your brain to make an inference to keep the
06:32	story going . Okay ? Now I want you to
06:35	keep in mind everything that we've just talked about .
06:38	Okay , Because now I want you to shift your
06:40	gears because you're going to read an article about guess
06:47	what planet . So smart . All right now ,
06:54	while you're reading this , I want you to annotate
06:58	as you read . Okay , What do I mean
07:02	by annotate ? As you read bria , what you
07:12	mean is you want us to like point out that
07:17	facts or stuff that we don't know and kind of
07:20	circle it and you want us to kind of think
07:26	over what it's talking about or try to figure out
07:31	what is trying to say . Very good , Very
07:33	well . Said general , you have something to add
07:36	. And you also like taking notes , things that
07:39	you think may be important for you to know um
07:42	throughout throughout the passage . And you're also right now
07:45	, questions that you may have . Very good when
07:49	you annotate as you do a close read , this
07:53	is a skill that you will definitely use in your
07:58	upper grades , high school and especially college . Okay
08:01	. So as you read the text , if you
08:04	come across a word that you're unfamiliar with circle it
08:07	, underline it , draw arrow to it . Or
08:10	if you come across a phrase that you're unfamiliar with
08:12	something that you think it's very important questions that you
08:15	may have , you're going to annotate as you read
08:17	. Now , this piece of text is front and
08:20	back . Okay . I want you to do a
08:22	close read on this piece of text right now .
08:26	Okay . You have any questions ? Okay . Mhm
08:37	. Okay . Mhm . Mhm . Yeah . Mhm
08:52	. Okay . Okay . Yes . Mhm . All
09:01	right . Let's take a look at this . Now
09:03	. The venus Sky show . Is this nonfiction or
09:08	is this fiction ? This article is nonfiction . It
09:12	is nonfiction . How do you know that ? Because
09:16	it provides information ? It provides information . Okay .
09:20	How do you know if when you're reading something if
09:22	it's nonfiction or if it's fiction , Connor exact quotes
09:29	. Okay . Dialogue perhaps bria . Well maybe sometimes
09:34	when you read a fiction story there's usually about fairy
09:38	tales and dragons and princesses . But when you read
09:41	nonfiction it really gives you more information and stuff .
09:45	Non fiction is really sometimes stuff that really happens in
09:48	life . Uh There's one thing you can look at
09:51	on here right away that will let you know this
09:54	is nonfiction . Mm . What do you think that
09:58	is Nina date ? Very good , very good .
10:02	Nina . Now look , let's look at just the
10:05	first paragraph of this . Now , this incident really
10:08	occurred as you found out . As you read through
10:10	this text , the rare event will be visible in
10:14	the late afternoon on Tuesday in the western hemisphere or
10:19	Wednesday morning in the eastern hemisphere . Now this was
10:23	written on june 4th 2012 . Okay , now in
10:27	front of you , you have a half sheet of
10:29	paper that has the different hemispheres on it . I
10:33	want you to label that western , Eastern northern and
10:37	southern hemispheres if you need help from your neighbor ,
10:40	you may ask them for help . I want you
10:42	to label that for me . Right now now ,
10:45	venus would have been visible . The transit of venus
10:48	would have been visible to us because we're in which
10:51	hemisphere towards the west ? We're where the western hemisphere
10:57	. Okay , now go back to the text .
11:01	It is a It is a show you likely have
11:04	never seen before and will never see again . It
11:08	is called the transit of venus . Transit means to
11:12	pass through or across during venus is upcoming transit .
11:18	The planet will appear to be a little black dot
11:21	drifting slowly across the face of the sun . It's
11:24	a spectacle that won't happen again for another 105 years
11:30	. Is there any morning here that watch this phenomenon
11:35	? 1-2 . Very good . Okay . A lot
11:39	of people didn't know about this . Okay . It
11:41	was very , very important though to some people and
11:44	especially scientists . The event is so unique that museums
11:49	and schools around the world are holding venus viewing parties
11:54	for those who want to see the sun with the
11:56	temporary beauty mark . Even astronauts aboard the international space
12:00	station are planning to watch the event . Anything silhouetted
12:05	silhouetted on the sun looks interesting , says Anthony cook
12:09	, an astronomer at the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles
12:13	California . Seen venus is extremely rare . Yes ,
12:18	ma'am . I wanted to ask what the silhouetted mean
12:21	? What does silhouette it mean ? What do you
12:26	think silhouette means ? Nina . So what it means
12:30	I like a shadow or something . Does that help
12:33	? Lydia . Very nice . Tell your peer .
12:35	Thank you . Okay , now what I have sat
12:41	on your desk are a few text dependent questions .
12:47	If you don't have a text dependent questions sheet ,
12:50	raise your hand and I'll give you one . Okay
12:53	? Now what you're going to do ? I'm gonna
12:55	put you in groups of four and everyone will get
12:58	a chip and these are not talking chips this time
13:02	. Okay . They serve as another purpose for us
13:06	. The chip that you get will determine the job
13:08	that you're going to do for your group . All
13:10	right . But what I want you to do right
13:12	now before I put you in groups , I want
13:14	you to draw a line under number five . Okay
13:18	. Just straight across the page . Now when you
13:21	look at these text dependent questions , why are they
13:24	called text dependent ? Why are the questions called text
13:28	dependent Sarah ? They're called text dependent questions because you
13:32	can find the answers in the text . You find
13:35	the answers in the text . Not something that we
13:38	think think of . That's just a great idea or
13:41	something . That sounds good . That's the answer .
13:43	You go back to the text and find your information
13:46	. Okay ? Now you're going to be doing questions
13:49	one through five . What differences exist between the short
13:53	story and the article ? What is the central idea
13:58	of the short story and the central idea of the
14:01	article ? What is the significance of this article ?
14:04	Why is it Why is it so significant ? What
14:09	does the author mean when he uses the words rare
14:12	and observatory in this particular text ? We've already identified
14:18	the hemispheres and if we had watched venus Transit the
14:22	Sun , which day would we have seen it ?
14:25	Okay now you're gonna get a chip . If you
14:30	could get a red chip , you're gonna be the
14:32	group leader . Okay . Now the group leader has
14:36	a very important job . Group leader . Your job
14:39	is to make sure that your group is on task
14:42	. Make sure that the questions that are being answered
14:46	, the information is coming from the text , making
14:50	sure that everyone participating like they should . Okay .
14:55	Now if you come to a question and your group
14:58	member cannot answer it or you can see that he
15:01	or she is struggling help them out . Okay ,
15:03	that's okay . You can help them out .
