TRANSCRIPT
Before reading, have students create a Circle Map identifying traditions they have in their families during a holiday.
During reading, complete the Tree Map for story elements.
Briefly summarize the story in a Flow Map using pictures and/or short phrases.
During the discussion of the plot summary, ask students to predict what caused Maria to try on her mother’s ring. There are many clues on pages 5 and 6.
To add rigorous thinking, ask students to predict what happened between Maria trying on the ring and the tamales being completed.
Maria’s feelings change throughout the story. Have students complete a Bubble Map describing her feelings in the beginning of the story. Ask them to add evidence from the text to support any inferences.
Maria’s feelings change throughout the story. Have students complete a Bubble Map describing her feelings in the middle of the story. Ask them to add evidence from the text to support any inferences.
Maria’s feelings change throughout the story. Have students complete a Bubble Map describing her feelings at the end of the story. Ask them to add evidence from the text to support any inferences.
