Grade 5 Unit 4 Mini Lesson 1
Unit of Study: Fantasy Book Clubs: The Magic of Themes and Symbols
Goal: Constructing and Navigating Other Worlds
Teaching point: “Readers, today I want to teach you that as fantasy readers, your first task
will be to figure out not just where your story happens, but what kind of place
it is. One way you can do this work is to investigate clues about the time
period and important magical elements, using the covers, blurbs, and details
from the beginning of the story for your research.”
"Lectores, hoy quiero enseñarles que como lectores de fantasía, su primera
tarea será la de averiguar no sólo donde ocurre la historia, sino qué tipo de
lugar es. Una manera de hacer este trabajo es investigar pistas sobre el
período de tiempo y los elementos mágicos importantes, usando las
cubiertas, las descripciones cortas y los detalles desde el comienzo de la
historia de su investigación."
Text: The Paper Bag Princess, The Thief of Always

Unit of Study: Fantasy Book Clubs: The Magic of Themes and Symbols
Goal: Constructing and Navigating Other Worlds
Teaching point: “Readers, today I want to teach you that in complicated stories such as
fantasy novels, often the main characters begin without a lot of knowledge,
and they have a steep learning curve. As alert readers, when the main
character is told important information or has dramatic new experiences, you
can see those moments as opportunities for you to learn hand in hand with
the main character.”
"Lectores, hoy quiero enseñarles que en las historias complicadas, como en
las novelas de fantasía, a menudo los personajes principales comienzan sin
mucho conocimiento, y tienen una curva de aprendizaje increíble. Como
lectores alertas, cuando el personaje principal cuenta información importante
o tiene nuevas experiencias dramáticas, ustedes pueden ver esos momentos
como oportunidades para que ustedes puedan aprender de la mano con el
personaje principal."

Teaching point: “Readers, today I want to teach you that as you tackle more complicated
books, you will run into multiple plotlines. You will find it helpful to use
charts, timelines, and other graphic organizers to track multiple problems and
plotlines, and gather data as scientists do, in charts and tables that allow
close analysis.”
"Lectores, hoy quiero enseñarles que a medida que ustedes se enfrentan a
libros más complicados, ustedes pasarán por múltiples tramas. Van a
encontrar útil el uso de gráficas, líneas de tiempo y otros organizadores
gráficos para el seguimiento de múltiples problemas y tramas, y recopilar
información como lo hacen los científicos, en los gráficos y tablas que

Unit of Study: Fantasy Book Clubs: The Magic of Themes and Symbols
Goal: Constructing and Navigating Other Worlds
Teaching point: “Today, I want to guide an inquiry in which you consider what you can learn
about characters over time, instead of coming to quick conclusions and
being willing to rethink along the way! Our work for today is to answer this
question: ‘What can we learn about characters if we study them over time,
delving deeply into their formation, motivations, and actions?”
"Hoy, quiero guiar una investigación en la que ustedes tienen que considerar
lo que pueden aprender con el tiempo acerca de los personajes, en lugar de
llegar a conclusiones rápidas ¡y estar dispuestos a reconsiderar a lo largo del
camino! Nuestro trabajo de hoy es responder a esta pregunta: ‘¿Qué
podemos aprender acerca de los personajes, si los estudiamos a través del
tiempo, ahondando en su formación, motivaciones y acciones?’"

they’re reading compare how these themes play out.”

Teaching point: “Today I want to teach you that you don’t have to wait for someone else to
give you feedback on your thinking. You can evaluate it yourself. Often,
when students want to excel, they pause in the midst of their work to ask, ‘Is
there anything I could do better?’ and they hold their own work up against a
mental model of strong work.”
"Hoy quiero enseñarles que ustedes no tienen que esperar a alguien más para
darles retroalimentación acerca de sus ideas. Ustedes pueden evaluarse por sí
mismos. A menudo, cuando los estudiantes quieren sobresalir, hacen una
pausa en medio de su trabajo para preguntar, ‘¿Hay algo que puedo hacer
mejor?’, y ellos mantienen su propio trabajo en contra de un modelo mental
de trabajo fuerte."

Goal: When Fact and Fantasy Collide
Teaching point: “Just as writers of fantasy refer to nonfiction text to develop the worlds of
their stories, readers of fantasy can refer to nonfiction texts to more fully
understand the world they are reading about. As readers of fantasy, you can
use reference texts, online factual information, or other nonfiction texts to
build a full image of the characters, settings and events you are reading
about.”
"Al igual que los escritores de fantasía se refieren al texto de no ficción para
desarrollar los mundos de sus historias, los lectores de fantasía pueden
referirse a los textos de no ficción para comprender mejor el mundo acerca del

textos de referencia, información real en línea, u otros textos de no ficción
para construir una imagen completa de los personajes, escenarios y eventos
que están leyendo."
