share. Once they have done so, play Track 26 for them to organize the sequence of events in that legend. Check orally. 2. Fill in the chart. Students will continue working in pairs to fill in the chart in which they will compare characteristics of characters, settings, and conflicts of the three legends they have read. Monitor while pairs work to offer help when required. Check by drawing the chart on the board and inviting volunteers to write their answers. Learning to Learn 118 Invite students to go to page 118 in the Activity Book and ask volunteers to read the information provided in the Learning to Learn section. Ask students to give some other examples. 3. Listen to your teacher and write. Explain to students that you will dictate some sentences to describe how some aspects in the legends they have read are similar or different so they may have a model to follow. Tell them that they must write the sentences in their books. Dictate the sentences provided in this Guide, and invite volunteers to write them on the board so you can check spelling and punctuation with the class. When they have finished writing, analyze each of the sentences with the class, asking them if the description given is comparing, contrasting, or both. Differentiated Instruction Activity 2: If necessary, use the Jigsaw Strategy to encourage collaboration. Assign each pair only one legend or aspect to describe. Once all pairs have their descriptions ready, invite them to share them with the rest of the class by filling in the corresponding space on the chart that you will draw on the board.
