their books to practice peer assessment. Monitor to check all comments are respectful. 5. Make necessary adjustments to your Venn Diagram. Once teams have received feedback from the other team, give them some time to adjust graphic and typographic resources in descriptions as well as their texts in case they need to. 6. Present to your class. Invite teams to present their Venn Diagrams to their classmates, explaining the differences and similarities they found about the aspect they chose. Ask students to describe the end of the story (the shaman told David that he could become a legend one day). Ask them how David felt and what they would do to become a legend (answers may vary). Product: Illustrated Venn Diagram As you may recall, in this unit students will create an illustrated Venn Diagram in which they will compare two legends from different cultures. In this lesson, they will describe similarities and differences based on the descriptions they already have. Organize the class into teams, read the first instruction aloud, and give them some time to write their descriptions. Encourage them to use adjectives and connectors correctly. Once they have finished, give them some time to create images to illustrate each aspect they compared or contrasted. This activity will be your fourth evidence in this unit; ask students to file it following the procedure you prefer. Don’t forget to tell students to choose and bring the material they will use to create their Venn Diagrams for the following session. Self-evaluation Read the questions aloud to make sure students know what each of them refers to. Tell them to review the activities they performed in this lesson to answer and identify their areas of opportunity. Finally, encourage them to suggest ways in which they may improve. Which aspects are similar in all the legends? Ask the question and encourage students to look at the graphic organizer provided in the Learning to Know section on page 118 to answer.
3 Check the sentences in your Venn Diagram.
Did I use connectors to link my ideas?
Did I end my sentences with a period?
Did I use adjectives correctly?
Did I check spelling using a dictionary?

Development 3. Check the sentences in your Venn Diagram. Ask students to go to page 117 to recall the tips to check spelling, punctuation, and grammar that they learned in the previous unit. Once they do so, read aloud the instructions and each of the questions to ensure comprehension. Give teams some time to check their work while you monitor. 4. Exchange your Venn Diagram with another team. Use the checklist to give and receive feedback. Read aloud the instructions and each statement in the checklist to ensure all students understand. Explain that they must check the “yes” or “no” square, and they can also write a comment suggesting to their classmates how to improve. Then, tell teams to get together with another team so they can exchange
