This lesson follows a similar structure to Lessons 1 and 2, with students reading Chapter 10 of The Hope Chest in triads, determining themes that were evident in the chapter, and summarizing the chapter (RL.4.1, RL.4.2, L.4.5b).
In the Closing, students are guided through a research reading share to hold them accountable for their research reading homework. Consider using the Independent Reading: Sample Plan if you do not have your own independent reading review routines.

This lesson follows a similar structure to Lessons 1-5, with students reading Chapter 13 of The Hope Chest in triads, determining themes that were evident in the chapter, and summarizing the chapter (RL.4.1, RL.4.2, L.4.5b).
In this lesson, after reading Chapter 13, students focus on similes and metaphors in Chapter 13 (L.4.5a) rather than on idioms, adages, and proverbs, because none of the latter are clearly evident in this chapter.
In Work Time A, students participate in a Language Dive that guides them through the meaning of a sentence from The Hope Chest. The focus of this Language Dive is on using relative pronouns (L4.1a). Students then apply their understanding of the meaning and structure of this sentence when using relative pronouns in their summaries and during the Mid-Unit 2 Assessment in Lesson 8. Refer to the Tools page for additional information regarding a consistent Language Dive routine.

Work Times A and C and the Closing all contain repeated routines from Lessons 2-3. Refer to those lessons for more detail as necessary. Note: Pages 6-7 of One Well--and future pages of this text--mention percentages. Before reading these pages, consider explaining what percentages are so when students encounter these references in the book, they are more meaningful.
In Work Time B, students participate in a Language Dive that guides them through the meaning of a sentence from One Well. The focus of this Language Dive is the function of pronouns (L.3.1a). Students then apply their understanding of the meaning and structure of this sentence when determining the main idea of the text and when determining the function of pronouns in One Well and during the Mid-Unit 1 Assessment. Refer to the Tools page for additional information regarding a consistent Language Dive routine.
In this lesson, students focus on working to become effective learners with a characteristic of their choice.
Students practice their fluency by following along and reading silently as the teacher reads aloud One Well in Work Time C.

By reviewing homework questions in this lesson, students are held accountable for their homework and reminded of what happened in that chapter of the novel. This helps to provide a purpose for continuing to study Article 23 of the UDHR (RL.5.1).
In this lesson, students determine the main ideas of Article 23 and write a summary after a mini lesson about summary writing in which they analyze a model (RI.5.2).
Writing instruction has been carefully designed across the module. In this unit, the focus is on writing a short summary paragraph. In unit two, the focus shifts to writing a full essay--an introduction paragraph, two proof paragraphs, and a conclusion paragraph. These basic structures are introduced to students in this module and built upon throughout the school year.
Lessons 3-5 featured built-out instruction for Goal 1 Conversation Cues to promote productive and equitable conversation. Moving forward, continue using Goal 1 Conversation Cues in this way, considering suggestions within lessons. Refer to the Lesson 3 Teaching Notes and see the Tools page for additional information on Conversation Cues.
Students practice their fluency in this lesson by following along and reading silently in their heads as the teacher reads "Los Higo" aloud during Closing and Assessment A.
In this lesson, the habit of character focus is on working to become an ethical person. The characteristic that students practice is respect, as volunteers share out personal reflections on what happened in Esperanza Rising.
The research reading that students complete for homework will help build both their vocabulary and knowledge pertaining to human rights. By participating in this volume of reading over a span of time, students will develop a wide base of knowledge about the world and the words that help describe and make sense of it.
