Peacock and Crane

Two birds met one afternoon and stared at each other’s feathers.

Peacock spread out his tail like a fan and puffed himself up to

block Crane’s path, and he laughed at Crane’s gray feathers. He

made fun of Crane’s tall, skinny legs.

“Look how beautiful I am, Crane,” said Peacock. “Notice how my

feathers sparkle with every color of the rainbow. You, Crane, are

common and dull. Your feathers are as gray as ash.”

Crane spoke to Peacock with gentle words. “I agree that peacocks

have lovely feathers. Yet among birds, what good is that?”

Then Crane spread his wings and took to the sky. “Follow me,

Peacock, to enjoy the true value of feathers.”

Peacock was surprised. He did not know that Crane could fly! How

wonderful flying must be.

Peacock remained stuck on the ground. He watched Crane soar on

his powerful wings until Crane flew out of sight.

Comprehension Strategy: Compare and Contrast

1. Create Context: Guide children to understand the concept of comparing and

contrasting.

Imagine you went to two parties on the same weekend. The first party was a picnic at the park. You

ate sandwiches for lunch. There was a birthday cake with candles. Then you went on the swings

and slides. At the party on the next day, you went to your friend’s house. You ate pizza for lunch.

There was a birthday cake with candles. You played games with the other children.

When you came home, someone asked you about the parties. What did you say you did at the first

party? What did you say you did at the second party? What did you do that was the same? What did

you do that was different?

2. Connect: Connect the context to reading.

When you told how the two parties were alike, you were comparing them. At both parties, there

was a birthday cake and candles. When you told how the two parties were different, you were

contrasting them. At one party, there were sandwiches. At the other party, there was pizza. At one

party, you went on the swings and slides. At the other party, you played games.

When you read, it helps to compare and contrast. When you read stories, you might want to

compare and contrast characters, settings, and story events. When you read informational text, you

might want to compare and contrast two pieces of information.

3. Try: Guide children to try it out.

When we read together in our class and when you read on your own, try to look for ways things are

alike and ways that they are different.

Ask yourself: How are these two things alike? In what ways are these two things different?

4. Check Understanding: Have children apply the strategy.

• Think about the story of The Three Little Pigs. How are the pigs alike? (Possible answers: They all

built houses; they all wanted to be safe.) How are they different? (Possible answers: The first two

pigs built houses quickly; their houses were not safe; the third pig took his time and built a

safe house.)

• Think about a science book about lions and tigers. How are lions and tigers alike?

(Possible answers: They are both big cats; they are both wild animals.) How are they different?

(Possible answers: Lions have manes; tigers have stripes.)

Key Questions

Use these questions to guide children to explore comparing

and contrasting in fiction and informational text.

• What is the meaning of the word alike?

• What is the meaning of the word different?

• In what ways are the characters the same?

• In what ways are the characters different?

GRAMMAR TOOLKIT

Subject/Verb Agreement

OBJECTIVES

Children will:

• identify subject/verb

agreement.

• use subject/verb

agreement in their

writing.

USE

• index cards

• two bags

• art paper and drawing

supplies

LESSON FOCUS

If the naming part of a

sentence names one, add

-s to the action word.

If the naming part names

more than one, do not add

-s to the action word.

When a sentence is in the

present tense, verbs used

with nouns that name one

thing end in -s or -es.

Verbs that are used with

nouns that name more

than one thing do not end

in -s or -es.

IntroduceWrite the following sentences for children. Underline the simple subjects.

One bear likes porridge.

The three bears like porridge.

Point out that in these two examples the action takes place in the present time.

Explain that if the naming part of a sentence names one, then the verb ends

in -s or -es. If the naming part of the sentence names more than one, then the

verb usually does not end in -s. Then point out that one bear names one, so the

verb like ends in -s. Three bears names more than one, so the verb like does not

end in -s.

Write the following sentences for children, and have them underline the verbs.

Ask children if the action word tells about one or more than one.

1. The bears live in the woods. (live, tells about more than one)

2. Papa bear sits at the table. (sits, tells about one)

TeachWrite the following sentences on the board or chart paper. Ask children to

underline the verbs. Then have them tell if the naming word names one or

more than one. Ask children to tell how the verbs end.

1. Baby bear thinks the porridge is too hot. (thinks, one, ends in -s)

2. Mama bear gets some milk. (gets, one, ends in -s)

3. The three bears take a walk. (take, more than one, does not end in -s)

Have children play “Pick and Draw Sentences.” Write subjects on index cards

and place them in one bag. Write verbs on another set of cards and place

them in a second bag. Have children select a card from each and make up a

sentence using the correct form of the verb. Give them art paper to write and

illustrate their sentences.

WriteAsk children to write a sentence containing a verb that goes with a naming part

that names one. Then have them write another sentence containing a verb that

goes with a naming part that names more than one.

Write the following sentence and have children find and fix the error.

Baby bear skip along the path. (Baby bear skips along the path.)

Informal Assessment

Did children:

• use correct subject/verb agreement?

• correctly identify the error in subject/verb agreement?

• capitalize titles and initials.

• use titles and initials in their writing.

LESSON FOCUS A title always begins with a capital letter when it is used before a person’s name.

A shortened title always ends with a period.

An initial is always written with a capital letter followed by a period.

IntroduceWrite the following sentences, and read them aloud for children.

1. Dr. Lopez is a dentist.2. Her helper, Mr. L. Abadi, works in her office.

Point out that the abbreviation Dr. stands for Doctor. Explain that Doctor is a title. Point out that a title before a person’s name is always capitalized. Read the second sentence. Point out that Mr. is also a title. Explain that if a title or a person’s name is shortened, or abbreviated, it must end with a period. Initials are always written with a capital letter followed by a period. Have individuals circle the title and initials in the second sentence.

Write these sentences and ask individuals to underline the titles and circle the initials. Point out that Mr. and Mrs. are shortened titles that require a period.

1. Ms. J. Weinstein wants to be an artist. (Ms. J.)2. The children wrote a letter to President Lincoln. (President)3. Mom might vote for Mayor Park. (Mayor)

TeachWrite the following sentences on the board or chart paper, and ask children to correct them by adding capital letters and periods.

Play “Nice to Meet You.” Brainstorm a list of titles (e.g., King, Queen, Prince, Princess, General, Officer, President, Coach, Mr., Mrs., Ms., Dr., Mayor, Representative, Senator). Write each title on an index card and place cards in a bag. Have partners select one card. One child writes: I am (title) [name]. The other child writes: I met (title) [name]. Then reverse roles. For example:

I am Queen Rosa Gomez. I am Senator Darius Young. I met Queen Rosa Gomez. I met Senator Darius Young.

WriteAsk children to write one sentence with an unabbreviated title and a second sentence with a shortened title.

Write the following sentence and have children find and fix the errors.

We will see governor g Smith and senator b Almeda in the parade. (We will see Governor G. Smith and Senator B. Almeda in the parade.)
