The Woods ScientistBy Stephen R. Swinburne.Houghton Mifflin. 2002.Grades 4–6.This title from the excellent Scientists in the
Field series features the work of Sue Morse, a forester, habitat ecologist, professional tracker, and passionate student of the woods. Readers experience the thrill of scientific discovery through her eyes and learn about the factors that led her to dedicate her life to wildlife conservation.

Why Use Children’s Literature ?
Engaging to Students of All Ages
Cautions
Story line may distract –stay focused on the science content
Be aware of “watered-down” science content
Be aware of misconceptions
Suggestions
Choose science objectives first
Collaborate with a knowledgeable colleague
Choose a variety of books, including fiction/nonfiction pairs

Why Read Aloud in Science?
“By reading information trade books aloud, teachers can expose children to the language and structure of exposition at the same time they engage them in learning content.”
~Kristo &
Bamford, 2004
Why Read Aloud in Science?
Opportunity to model the strategies of proficient readers
Students’ minds are free to explore the meaning of difficult science concepts when the teacher does the decoding
Fine-tunes students’ observational/listening skills

Tools to Enhance Comprehension
According to Timothy Shanahan:• The structure of what is read can help students determine importance. • Students should know common text organization schemes (description; compare/contrast; problem-solution; sequence; cause/effect) • Students should know how to use headings and subheadings to determine the scope and sequence of information• Examine texts to see if organization holds a special key to the meaning (like in a comparison text or problem-solution text) and to guide students to attend to this structure
The 5E Model ( PPS p29-34 )
• BSCS 5E Instructional Model, commonly referred to as the 5E model (or the 5Es).
• Developed by the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study (BSCS)
The 5E Model (p 29-34)
• introductory stage • capture students’
interest.
Engage
• cooperative exploration activities• build models• collect data• make and test predictions• form new predictions
Explore
Explain
• Explains possible solutions to others• Listens critically to explanations of other students and
the teacher• Uses recorded observations in explanations
• Applies new labels, definitions, explanations, and skills in new but similar situations
• Uses previous information to ask questions, propose solutions, make
• decisions, design experiments
• Records observations and explanations
Elaborate
• Demonstrates an understanding of the concept or skill
• Answers open-ended questions by using observations, evidence, and previously accepted explanations
• Evaluates his/her own progress and knowledge
Evaluate

Reading Writing Speaking and Listening
Key Ideas and Details•Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from text.•Determine central ideas or themes of a text and analyze their development; summarize the key and supporting details and ideas.•Analyze how and why ideas and events develop and interact over the course of a text.
Text Types and Purposes•Write arguments to support claims of substantive topics or texts using valid reasoning and sufficient evidence.•Write informative/explanatory texts to examine and convey complex ideas and information clearly and accurately through the effective selection, organization, and analysis of content.•Write narrative to develop real experiences or events using effective technique, well-chosen details, and well-structured event sequences.
Comprehension and Collaboration•Prepare for and participate in conversations and collaborations with diverse partners, building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly and persuasively.•Integrate and evaluate information presented in diverse media and formats, including visually, quantitatively, and orally.•Evaluate a speaker’s point of view, reasoning, use of evidence, and rhetoric.Craft and Structure
•Interpret words and phrases as they are used in a text, including determining technical, connotative, and figurative meanings, and analyze how word choices shape the meaning or tone.•Analyze the structure of texts, including how specific sentence, paragraphs, and larger portions of the text relate to each other and the whole.•Assess how purpose shapes the content and style of a text.
Production and Distribution of Writing•Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task and purpose.•Develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach.•Use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing and to interact and collaborate with others.
Integration of Knowledge and Ideas•Integrate and evaluate content presented in multiple formats, including visually and quantitatively, as well as in words.•Delineate and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text, including validity of the reasoning as well as relevance and sufficiency of the evidence. •Analyze how two or more texts address similar themes or topics in order to build knowledge or to compare the approaches the authors take.
Research to Build and Present Knowledge•Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects based on focused questions, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation.•Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources, assess the credibility and accuracy of each source and integrate the information while avoiding plagiarism. •Draw evidence from literary and informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research.
Presentation of Knowledge of Ideas•Present information, findings, and supporting evidence such that listeners can follow the line of reasoning and the organization, development, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience.•Make strategic use of digital media and visual displays of data to express information and enhance understanding of presentations.•Adapt speech to a variety of contexts and communication tasks demonstrating command of formal English when indicated or appropriate.
Range of Reading and Level of Text Complexity•Read and comprehend complex literary and informational texts independently and proficiently.
Range of Writing•Write routinely over extended time frames (time for research, reflection, and revision) and shorter time frames (a single sitting or a day or two) for a range of tasks, purposes, and audiences.

“Mind and emotions are not separate; emotions, thinking, and learning are all linked. What we feel is real – even if only to us and no one else. Emotions organize and create our reality.”
