Edge time (Donalyn

Priority time
Class time
Reading on the fringes
o Appointments
o Bathroom books
o Car
o Purse or bookbag
o Phone books
• eBooks and audiobooks (more later about these)
If it is not a priority for us, how can we expect it
to be a priority for them?
Take a moment to jot down one time you will set
aside daily (just 5 minutes) to read.
Make this commitment real by adding it to your
calendar.
Picture books
Graphic novels
Quick reads
Poem or story a day
“Once upon a time there were three dinosaurs: Papa Dinosaur,
Mama Dinosaur, and some other Dinosaur who happened to be
visiting from Norway.”
– Setting
Main characters
Motif
Archetype
And…it’s going to be funny!
Plus it addresses this CCSS (anchor standard):
Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, well-chosen details,
and well-structured event sequences
infer the implicit theme of a work of fiction, distinguishing
theme from the topic;
analyze the function of stylistic elements (e.g., magic
helper, rule of three) in traditional and classical literature
from various cultures;
write imaginative stories that include:
o (i) a clearly defined focus, plot, and point of view;
o (ii) a specific, believable setting created through the use of
sensory details; and
o (iii) dialogue that develops the story (mentor texts)
create multi-paragraph essays to convey information about a topic that:
(i) present effective introductions and concluding paragraphs;
(ii) guide and inform the reader's understanding of key ideas and evidence;
(iii) include specific facts, details, and examples in an appropriately organized structure; and
(iv) use a variety of sentence structures and transitions to link paragraphs;
Students understand, make inferences and draw conclusions about how an author's sensory language creates imagery in literary text and provide evidence from text to support their understanding.
Students are expected to explain how authors create meaning through stylistic elements and figurative language emphasizing the use of personification, hyperbole, and refrains.
(A) summarize the main ideas and supporting details in text, demonstrating an understanding that a summary does not include opinions;
(B) explain whether facts included in an argument are used for or against an issue;
(C) explain how different organizational patterns (e.g., proposition-and-support, problem-and-solution) develop the main idea and the author's viewpoint; and
(D) synthesize and make logical connections between ideas within a text and across two or three texts representing similar or different genres.
How could this collection of poems be used in a lesson on informational text?
How could it be used as a Mentor Text?
What other use might it have?
(A) analyze linear plot developments (e.g., conflict,
rising action, falling action, resolution, subplots) to
determine whether and how conflicts are resolved;
(B) analyze how the central characters' qualities
influence the theme of a fictional work and resolution of
the central conflict; and
(C) analyze different forms of point of view, including
limited versus omniscient, subjective versus objective.
Scaffolding, Visual Literacy, and More
Who is important in
this picture on the
cover?
What can we tell from
looking at him?
What do the other 2
on the cover think?
Where are they?
Where would we like
them to head next?
What is our ultimate
goal?
What do they like?
What will move them horizontally?
What will push them a bit?
What might be a diagonal move?

Recommendations
1. Someone with the heart of a reader is already a reader, enjoys reading, and turns to reading on a regular basis as an activity they prefer. 2. Someone with the heart of a reader does not need extrinsic motivation. No points, pizza, or other incentives are needed. 3. Someone with the heart of a reader tends to have friends who have reader hearts, too. They enjoy taking about books they have read, comparing notes. 4. Someone with the heart of a reader reads up and down and sideways. Sometimes they turn to books that are easy reads, and occasionally they challenge themselves, too. While they have comfort books, they read widely as well. 5. Someone with the heart of a reader recognizes that books entertain, inform, provoke, and touch them deep in those hearts. They know books can elicit laughter, tears, rage, and the full range of emotions.
