Read Aloud • Good Readers:

– Vary their expression by changing their volume or pace

– Group words into meaningful phrases, or chunks.

From “Mangia!” by Ira RosofskyItalian cuisine is the most popular ethnic

food in the United States, according to the National Restaurant Association. It is so much a part of our culture that we hardly think of it as ethnic at all.

Everybody thinks that they know a great deal about Italian food. For Example:– Marco Polo, an Italian, brought back spaghettis from

China.– The Italians invented pizza.– Tomatoes have been a long-time staple of Italian

cooking.All of these myths are wrong.

Literary Criticism• Active readers evaluate the quality of the

stories they read and support their judgments with evidence from text.

• As they read, good readers ask themselves:– What is the story’s genre? Has the author done a

good job of creating a story with the main characters of this genre?

– Does the author use effective language and story structure?

– Has the author achieved his or her purpose for writing the story?

Work with your partner(s)• Does the author of “The Secret

Ingredient” effectively give the story the feel of a real television show? Why or why not?
