I am going to ask a question. I will give you a minute to think about<br />
the question, and then I will ask you to turn to your neighbor and<br />
discuss the question. Finally, I will call on several of you to share<br />
what you discussed with your partner.<br />
6. Evaluative Think Pair Share: Imagine that there was no water<br />
on Earth. Do you think insects could still survive? Why or why<br />
not? (No, because they depend upon plants to live and plants<br />
need water; all living things need water to survive.)<br />
7. After hearing today’s read-aloud and questions and answers,<br />
do you have any remaining questions? [If time permits, you<br />
may wish to allow for individual, group, or class research of<br />
the text and/or other resources to answer these questions.]<br />
Word Work: Habitats<br />
5 minutes<br />
1. In the read-aloud you heard, “We flies are insects, and we<br />
share the planet with millions of other insects in many different<br />
habitats.”<br />
2. Say the word habitats with me.<br />
3. Habitats are the natural homes of plants and animals.<br />
4. Chimpanzees live in rainforests, their natural habitats.<br />
5. Think of some other animals that you have learned about.<br />
What are the types of habitats in which those animals live?<br />
Use the word habitats when you talk about them. [Ask two<br />
or three students. If necessary, guide and/or rephrase the<br />
students’ responses: “ live in habitats called . . . ”]<br />
6. What’s the word we’ve been talking about? What part of<br />
speech is the word habitats? (noun) How do you know it is a<br />
noun? (It is a thing.)<br />
