Phonics 2 2 ■ ■ Lesson <strong>13</strong> “Sometimes a very high place is right next to the sea. A cliff made of rock or earth can go straight down into the water.” The selection includes a glossary preceding the story that will be useful for explaining Hawaiian words that you think are important or interesting for students. Building on Prior Knowledge “Who can tell us some facts about sharks?” Answers will vary. “Do sharks have flat noses?” yes Do sharks have fins? What are they for?” Fins help sharks swim and keep their balance. “Do sharks sleep?” yes “Sometimes sharks sleep in caves. There are caves underwater like those above the ground. In this story, lobsters also live in a cave.” “Do people think sharks are mean and dangerous?” Answers will vary. “Do people think sharks are clever. Do sharks have sharp, quick minds?” Answers will vary. “I'll describe some things. If you think I'm telling you about something that is clever, put your thumbs up.

When you read a story, you think about what you know about a subject as well as the story’s pictures and words to predict what might happen next. “What might happen next if I took a fishing pole and went to a lake?” You will go fishing. “If a swimmer was standing on the beach and saw a shark in the water, what might the swimmer do next?” decide not to swim “If a shark in a story can talk, what kind of story do you predict it will be?” a made-up story, a fantasy Print Awareness ■ Show the cover of Punia and the King of Sharks: A Hawaiin Folktale and read the title and the names of the author and the illustrator.

There are three places on the page where there is a big space before a sentence. Then there are more sentences. Can anyone tell me what the big space tells us?” We are starting the beginning of a new paragraph. “A paragraph starts a new thought or idea. Paragraphs help separate ideas in stories. If one idea ran right into another, it would be very confusing. Paragraphs help readers to keep one idea at a time in their thoughts.” Point to the last paragraph. “Let’s look at this paragraph. The first sentence in the paragraph starts out with these marks (point to the beginning and ending quotation marks). When you see these marks, it means that someone in the story is talking.” Point to the first ending quotation mark and the second beginning quotation mark. “Look. Here’s an ending quotation mark. But the next words do not start with a capital letter. What does that mean?” Help students understand that if a group of words does not begin with a capital letter, they are not a sentence. “Now the quotation marks start again. Can anyone tell what this means?” It means someone is still talking. If students have difficulty with this notion, read the paragraph to them. As you read, point to the quotation marks and note when they stop and start. Tell students that as you read aloud, you will look for quotation marks and you will change your tone of voice to act out saying what the characters say. Preview the Story ■ ■ ■ “Now that we’ve looked at some of the paragraphs, we're going to look at some of the pictures. We can use the pictures to help us make predictions about what happens in Punia and the King of the Sharks. ” Display the cover again. “Who do you think Punia might be?” the boy pictured on the cover Turn to the first pages of the story which show the ten great sharks. “Who do you predict might be the king of sharks? Why do you think so?” Students may predict the spotted shark is king because it looks different from the others. “What do you predict might happen between the boy and the sharks?” Answers will vary. “Let’s listen and keep on making predictions to ourselves as we learn more about the story.” Read the complete story to your students. 3
