2. Work Time A. Introduce “Things Close Readers Do”
Using “1975: Year of the Cat”
(we will keep adding items to this chart, so it should be on its own
page.)
• We will keep notes and use these notes throughout the Unit. All assessments for this Unit will be open notes so be sure to take complete notes.
• Start a new page/side for this chart.
Get the gist - figure out what the text is mostly about.

B. Guided Practice-Quick Write In order to keep track of thinking, or
think more carefully about specific sections of text, we will complete a QuickWrite. A short piece of written analysis about text. QuickWrite Chart
QuickWrite Chart Have I answered the prompt completely? Is the evidence I provided relevant and
complete? Does my paragraph include the
following? A focus statement At least three pieces of specific evidence
from the text For each piece of evidence, an analysis or
explanation: what does this evidence mean?
A concluding sentence
QuickWrite Details Well constructed paragraph including all
sentences required from chart. Anytime you do a QuickWrite, you will be
able to use the novel, graphic organizers, notes, to help you.
Quickwrite Model
QuickWrite Model Based on what you have read so far in
the novel, what can you infer about what will happen to Ha and her family? Be sure to use details from the text to support your answer.
QuickWrite #1 Reread page 4-9 of Inside Out & Back
Again What kind of person is Ha? Use specific
evidence from the text to write a paragraph in which you discuss one of Ha’s personality traits.
You may use your text and the notes you collected in your journal or note-catchers to help you write this paragraph. A complete paragraph will meet all the criteria listed on the QuickWrite Chart.
Things Close Readers Do Get the Gist-figure out the meaning of
the text Reread, Reread Cite evidence Use details from the text to make
inferences Use context clues to figure out word
meanings Talk with others about text
Lesson 4 Read the first stanza on page 8 of the
poem, “Papaya Tree.” What is Ha referring to here?
What images do you notice on the cover?
Cover of Book Based on your reading so far, what kind
of tree can you infer this is?
You took something from the text, and something you already knew and put it together.
Lesson 4 Learning Targets: I can:
• Make inferences to deepen my understanding of Inside Out & Back Again.
Inferences-determining meaning based on things not directly stated in the text.•Cite evidence from the novel to explain how incidents reveal aspects of Ha’s character. •Explain how the specific word choices in “Papaya Tree” create tone and help reveal meaning. •Participate in discussions about the text with a partner, small group, and the whole class.
Considering a Character’s Relationships with Others
1. Opening
Lesson Four
B. Review Learning Targets
Lesson 4The critical incident in the novel we will discuss today is about Ha’s papaya tree. The incident, or event, is critical
(crucial or very important) because Ha pays attention to it a lot and writes about it several times.
We need to infer about the meaning of the papaya tree. Critical in this context means important. In
other contexts, it can mean negative. For example: A friend is being critical of you.
Lesson 4 Silently reread “Papaya Tree” on pages 8
and 9. You’re reading for GIST. What is it mostly about?
Lesson 4 Now I will read it aloud for descriptive
details. What new or important details struck you after hearing the poem read aloud?
Lesson 4 Did you notice these details?The seed is like a fish eye
Slippery/shiny/black
The size and color of the tree“White blossom”“Twice as tall as I stand”
Lesson 4 Descriptive details often help readers
visualize what the writer is describing. We will be paying close attention to this
type of language throughout the sudy of the novel and will often reread key passages to pay particular attention to word choice.
