They cite text evidence to analyze how the point of view affects the account of information. They identify points an author makes in the text and the reasons and evidence that support those points. RETURNING TO THE TEXT 5 minutes Ask students to reflect on the text read previously. Guide them to recall how they applied the learning focus to their reading. Who can quickly remind us about our discussion from the last session? We read about Paul Revere’s ride to warn the people that the British were coming. We identified main ideas and supporting details and used those to summarize the poem. READING THE TEXT CLOSELY 10 minutes Explain the learning focuses. Invite students to reread pages 5–6. Check in to see how well they have understood the focuses. If you are satisfied that students can apply them, have them read the balance of the selection.

DISCUSSING THE TEXT 10 minutes Guide a discussion in which students focus on how the author’s point of view affects the account of information. Encourage students to build on others’ ideas during the discussion. SL.5.1 DISCUSSION Collaborative e found the author’s point of view and discussed how it would be different W if the writer felt the friend in the tower should be remembered forever. Let’s think about what the account of Paul Revere’s ride would be if it were written as a report. Who will share their idea? The writer includes a lot of emotions in the poem. If the account of Paul Revere’s ride was written as a report, the author would probably just focus on the facts. Would someone like to add to that? I think you are right. The author would not include emotions. I also think that more information would be included about what happened when people heard the warning and how the British were pushed back. Continue the discussion, focusing on identifying points an author makes in a text and reasons and evidence that support them. ould someone like to share the point the author makes about Revere in the W first stanza on page 7?

Use your notes to help connect the reasons and evidence with important points in the text. Help students understand the benefits of building on the ideas of their classmates as they share their own ideas. In our discussions of this poem, we focused on how a different point of view can change an account of an event and how the author supported his points. Why do you think it is important to add to what others say during a discussion when you express your own ideas? It helps you think about ideas in a new way. It might help you express what you think more clearly. es. When we add to what others are saying, the discussion stays on topic Y and holds our interest.

He rode to every Middlesex village and farm to warn the people that the British were coming. William Dawes was a patriot that deserves equal praise for warning the local minutemen that the British were coming. REFLECTING ON THE TEXTS 5 minutes Ask students to reflect on what they learned over the past sessions. Invite them to review and reflect on both texts. e have learned to identify main ideas and details and use them to W summarize a text. Who can explain why summarizing what we read is important? When we summarize, we think about the most important ideas of a text and put it in our own words. This helps us understand what we read more clearly. LEARNING FOCUSES RI.5.2, RI.5.6, RI.5.8, RI.5.9 Students compare and contrast texts to read closely to identify main ideas and key details and use them to summarize the text. They cite text evidence to analyze how the point of view affects the account of information. They identify points an author makes in the text and the reasons and evidence that support those points. Can anyone share a summary of “William Dawes”? William Dawes deserves to be as famous as Paul Revere. He also warned people that the British were coming, and he even fought in the Battle of Bunker Hill. CROSS-TEXT ANALYSIS 5 minutes Guide students to compare and contrast the two texts. SL.5.1 DISCUSSION Collaborative et’s think about both texts we read and talk together about how the ideas L and points of view are alike and different. Both texts are about important people in the American Revolution. Both texts also tell about Paul Revere’s ride. However, “Paul Revere’s Ride” focuses just on Revere, and the author’s point of view is that Revere’s ride and warning will be remembered throughout history. The ideas in “William Dawes” are focused on his actions during the war. The point of view of this author is that Dawes should be equally famous as Revere. It’s helpful to think about how the ideas and points of view of texts are alike and different. This helps you form your own opinions about the topics. Guide students to synthesize the ideas across both texts. The analysis should lead to connections and new understandings based on both texts. et’s think about how discussing the two texts together helps you L understand both more deeply. Turn and talk with a partner about that. Try to come up with a possible main idea for the two. Who’d like to share? Dawes and Revere were an important part of the American Revolution. I also noticed a main idea across both texts. Many men took great risks to fight for America’s freedom. MONDO BOOKSHOP GRADE 5 7 GRC_G5_SRC_5.7_Paul Revere's Ride_LP.indd 7 12/18/14 4:37 PM INTEGRATING THE LEARNING 10 minutes Invite students to integrate the information from both texts and clearly state the big ideas across both texts. hen we read, we try to say what a text was mostly about—the big idea—in W one sentence. Now we’re going to think through key parts of these two texts to find a big idea for both of them in one or two sentences. Turn and talk with a partner. Think about how we can state a big idea that would go with both texts. . . . Who would like to start? Many people, like William Dawes and Paul Revere, played an important role in helping America gain its freedom from Britain. Have students reflect on the strategies they learned for comparing two texts with a similar topic. Let’s recap what strategies we used to deepen our understanding of both texts. We identified main ideas and details and used them to summarize the texts. We also analyzed how an author’s point of view changes the account of an event. We identified points authors made and the reasons and evidence they used to support them.
