Manos a la O.B.R.A. by Penelope Bradshaw

Build BackgroundHelp students use their knowledge about community action to visualize the problem in the play. Build interest by asking a question such as the following: ¿Han visto algún lote baldío y se han preguntado para qué se podría usar? ¿Qué pensaron? Read the title and author and talk about the cover illustration. Tell students that “O.B.R.A.” is an abbreviation that stands for “Organización contra la basura regada afuera.” Note the text is written in the form of a play, or a story intended to be performed by actors. Explain that this play includes three acts and that the text in a play usually includes both stage directions and dialogue.

Introduce the TextGuide students through the text, noting important ideas, and helping with unfamiliar language and vocabulary so they can read the text successfully. Here are some suggestions:

Pages 4–5: Explain that this is a play about a group of friends who face a problem.Suggested language: Miren las ilustraciones de las páginas 4 y 5 de este libro. ¿Qué indica el cartel? ¿Qué problema creen que se les presenta a los amigos? Have students note the use of parentheses and italicized text within the parentheses. Explain that these sections of text are called stage directions. They are not part of the dialogue but help tell the story.

Page 7: Have students fi nd the word sospecho. Ask: ¿Puede alguien explicar qué signifi ca la palabra sospecho?

Page 11: Have students note the following description of Mr. Jenkins: Se ve triste, como si algo lo preocupara. Ask students to tell how the illustration of Mr. Jenkins shows what triste and preocupara mean.

Ahora, lean la obra de teatro para ver cómo se forma la Organización contra la basura regada afuera.

4_322247_AL_LRTG_L04_A.L.L.totheRescue_SPA.indd 2 1/22/10 5:00:26 AM

ReadHave students read silently while you listen to individual students read aloud. Support their understanding of the text as needed.

Remind students to use the Analyze/Evaluate Strategy and to think of questions as they read. Tell them to think about how the children in the book will solve their problem of where to play.

Discuss and Revisit the TextPersonal ResponseInvite students to share their personal responses to the book. Suggested language: ¿Alguna vez le pidieron a un adulto que los ayude a resolver un problema? ¿Qué pasó? ¿Cómo respondió el Sr. Jenkins a los niños?

Ways of ThinkingAs you discuss the text, help students understand these points:

Thinking Within the Text Thinking Beyond the Text Thinking About the Text

• The children want to play ball at the community park but can’t because it is closed.

• The children want to use a local, littered lot until the park is reopened.

• The children persuade the property owner, Mr. Jenkins, to let them clean up the lot.

• People of all ages can come together to address issues in the community.

• Talking over a problem among friends can result in a solution.

• The stage directions help to explain the action in the play and to make it lively.

• The conversation between characters sounds very realistic, the way ten-year-olds really talk.

• The cartoon-like illustrations make it clear how characters are feeling.

Choices for Further Support• Fluency Invite students to choose a scene from the play for a readers’ theater

presentation. Have them stress certain words as they read to indicate when the characters are excited. Remind them to use any stage directions to make their reading more lively and realistic. Emphasize that stage directions are only for people reading the play, and they should not be read aloud by actors.

• Comprehension Based on your observations of the students’ reading and discussion, revisit parts of the text to clarify or extend comprehension. Remind students to go back to the text to support their ideas.

• Phonics/Word Work Provide practice as needed with words and word parts, using examples from the text. Explain that the suffi xes –mente (tristemente, p. 4) is a word ending that usually signal a form change from adjective to adverb. Adverbs modify verbs and describe cómo, cuándo, or dónde.

Writing about ReadingCritical ThinkingHave students complete the Razonamiento crítico questions on Hoja reproducible 4.8.

RespondingHave students complete the activities at the back of the book, using their Cuaderno del lector. Use the instruction below as needed to reinforce or extend understanding of the comprehension skill.

Target Comprehension SkillTheme

Target Comprehension Skill Remind students that the thoughts and actions of characters can

reveal the theme of a play. Model how to add details to the Graphic Organizer, using a “Think Aloud” like the one below:

Think Aloud

El tema es que las personas que se juntan para ayudar pueden hacer algo valioso para la comunidad. En la página 9, Abigail dice que los niños están en guerra contra la basura. Eso suena a que Abigail y sus amigos están decididos a resolver su problema con la basura. En la página 13, los niños le cuentan su plan al Sr. Jenkins. Agreguen ese detalle en el segundo óvalo. Estos detalles muestran cómo los personajes trabajan juntos para mejorar su comunidad.

Practice the SkillEncourage students to share their examples of other stories in which the theme is characters working together to solve a problem.

Writing Prompt: Thinking About the TextHave students write a response to the prompt on page 6. Remind them that when they think about the text, they refl ect back on the text. They should notice and evaluate language, genre, literary devices, and how the text is organized.

Test preparation — Assessment Prompts • Which lines from pages 12 and 13 show that Lucía and her friends are determined, or

will not give up?

• What will most likely happen to Mr. Jenkins? To his business?

Wayne cree que la gente tira basura porque no hay su� cientes botes de

basura. Probablemente ésta es una razón, pero también hay otras.

Si los estudiantes empiezan a jugar pelota ahí, tal vez su venta de

helado aumente.

En la primera escena se ve el tipo de comida que comen y la forma

correcta de tirar la basura. Esto demuestra su interés en mejorar el

ambiente y su comunidad y aquí se plantea el resto de la acción.

¡Manos a la O.B.R.A.! describe la idea principal porque los amigos se

ponen a trabajar todos juntos. Esta descripción intriga al lector y le hace

querer saber más sobre la obra que se lleva a cabo.

Bajito by Michael Sandler

Build BackgroundHelp students use their knowledge about tall tales to understand Bajito and how he changes. Build interest by asking questions such as the following: ¿Han navegado a bordo de un barco alguna vez? ¿Les gustaría trabajar de marineros? ¿Por qué sí? ¿Por qué no? Read the title and author’s name and talk about the cover illustration. Tell students that this story is a tall tale about a boy named Bajito who has a powerful set of lungs.

Introduce the TextGuide students through the text, noting important ideas, and helping with unfamiliar language and vocabulary so they can read the text successfully. Here are some suggestions:

Page 3: Read the the beginning of the third paragraph:Suggested language: Roaring through the city streets came the loudest noise anyone had ever heard. Somebody was howling. Ask: ¿De qué piensan que se tratará el cuento?

Page 4: Cuando Bajito vio que su mamá lo dejaba, comenzó a llorar. Ask: ¿Por qué la mamá de Bajito opina que el volumen de su llanto es inexplicable?

Page 7: El texto dice que el barco donde estaba Bajito estuvo trabado hasta que las condiciones cambiaron. Ask: ¿Qué condiciones necesitaría el barco para moverse?

Page 11: Have students look at the illustration. Ask: ¿Qué tipos de barcos pueden ver?

Page 12: El texto dice que el huracán que hubo en Galveston, Texas, en el año 1900 fue uno de los más peligrosos de la historia. Ask: ¿Qué hace que alguien diga que algo es lo más peligroso?

Ahora, vuelvan al comienzo y lean para descubrir qué le sucede a Bajito.

Con la llegada del barco de vapor, el talento de Bajito no era necesario

para empujar el barco con su soplido.

Cuando era pequeño, sus papás siempre le pedían que hablara bajito.

A Bajito le gusta ayudar a los demás; cuando era marinero salvó barcos

de muchos peligros y luego salvó a Galveston de un huracán. Bajito

también era un hombre honesto y humilde; no quería ser una celebridad

y por se fue de Galveston sin decirle a nadie a dónde iba.

Bajito es una persona como todas en muchos aspectos, pero tiene

características sobrehumanas y puede hacer cosas sobrehumanas.
