A. Introduction-
1. Inform students that we will be reading two books that are similar
to each other, yet different in their own ways. The first book will
be the non-fiction book, Martin's Big Words. Before beginning the
book, the teacher will ask the students who is pictured on the book.
The teacher will scaffold for the correct answer. (Martin Luther King,
Jr.) Inform the students that MLK was a very important man, who helped
with the civil rights movement.
2. The teacher will ask students to help fill out a KWL chart. Under
the K, the teacher will put "what I KNOW about the civil rights movement."
To begin, the teacher will put MLK was an important leader. The students
will attempt to fill in the K column.
3. After the K column is filled, the teacher will let the students
know that they will be filling out the W column. The W Column stands
for what I WANT to know. The students will fill in the W column. The
teacher will notify the students that they will fill in the last column
after both books are read. |

B. Development-
| Students will take turns reading Martin's Big Words (Partner Reading.) |

C. Practice-
once the students are finished reading the book, have the students
turn to a page. On the page, the students must select an unknown word.
and complete the vocabulary map.
The teacher will then show the students the next book (Ron's Big Mission).
The teacher will have the students predict what Ron's mission is.
The teacher will let the students know that she will be modeling a
read and think aloud. The teacher will allow the students to think
aloud throughout the story. Once the story is over, the teacher will
allow the students to finish their KWL. The students will then create
a Venn diagram comparing and contrast the two stories. The students
may also talk about the differences between the time in the books,
to the time that they live in today. |

Closure-
| The teacher will let the students know that in both stories, the
characters were ordinary people, in ordinary places, who made EXTRAordinary
changes. They can make BIG differences just like Ron and Martin, as
long as we stand up for what we believe in. |
