BRING THE TEXT TO LIFE 20 MIN Readers’ Theater Divide campers into pairs or small groups. Make sure they have their notebooks open to the decodable passage from the previous lesson, or to the selected book passage. Read the passage aloud, then have campers read it together several times until they understand what is happening in the text and can interpret and perform the scene. Give campers about five minutes to choose their roles and practice the scene, then a few minutes to act it out.
MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS Revisit the passage before asking campers to read. Point out some of the homophones that appear in the text, such as sea, blue, whale, tail, won, right, know, wait , and cells. Guide campers to notice the spelling of these words and discuss their meanings. Remind campers that these words are homophones because there are other words that sound the same ( see, blew, wail, tale, one, write, no, weight, and sells ) but have different spellings and meanings.
BUNK TIME 20 MIN Reading for Knowledge
MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS When campers share the gist of their reading, guide them to focus on the main ideas and not minor details. Build on their attempts to summarize by restating their ideas in clearer or more concise language.
Invite campers to stretch or move before settling down to read on their own or with a partner. Distribute texts, or have campers choose a text from the Read-Aloud Text Set for the lesson to encourage extending knowledge related to today’s read-aloud. Make sure that all campers have a book
or text that they can comfortably read on their own. When about five minutes remain in the session, have campers jot down in their notebooks something new they learned—or a connection they made—during their reading. Invite volunteers to share with the group. If time allows, invite campers to explore and choose a book from your classroom library to read during a break or take home to share with their family. Bunk Check Circulate as campers read, using the following prompts to check on comprehension and engagement.
