The same vocabulary words are used throughout the texts within each resource but vary from resource to resource.

Speaking of vocabulary, there are 16 vocabulary cards per resource. There are 8 word cards and 8 definition cards with pictures to help with understanding.

What learning goals are addressed in the resources?

RI.2.1 Ask and Answer such questions as who, what, where, when, why, and how to demonstrate understanding of key details in a text.

Introduce different types of questions, practice writing your own questions, and answer both multiple-choice and open-ended questions.

Each resource includes a questions lesson plan for RI.2.1 Asking and Answering questions. This lesson plan explains how to use all the resources in this lesson. You can, of course, pick and choose which parts of the lesson you want to follow. If you have taught a previous version of this lesson using one of my other resources, you will find this layout to be similar.

Introduce different types of questions with the large question posters and the small question cards. Please note that these are the same in each resource so you will probably only want to print one copy of these. These question cards include a history of Thanksgiving, turkey, cornucopia, apple, or pumpkin-themed background but otherwise are not specific to the text. I purposefully did not include examples specific to this text because I wanted the kids to have the opportunity to generate their own questions for this text without being biased by examples. The examples provided are therefore not related to this text. These question posters include question words who, what, where, when, why, and how.

These include question words who, what, where, when, why, and how.

The history of Thanksgiving, turkeys, cornucopia, apple, and pumpkin-themed question recording sheets are included with each resource for students to record their own questions prior to reading. There are six sheets each prompting students to focus on a particular type of question. For example: Write down 5 “who questions” about the history of Thanksgiving, turkeys, cornucopias, apples, and pumpkins. You can have students practice a different type of question with each new resource. Put students in groups and have them focus on asking just one type of question about the history of Thanksgiving, turkeys, cornucopias, apples, and pumpkins. Then rotate them for the next text. Or you can have the whole class focus on asking just one type of question. Then rotate them for the next story. Why focus on the type of question? Because sometimes students miss questions because they do not understand what is really being asked. By deconstructing the type of questions, they can better understand what questions are asking them. Writing their own questions is a key part of this.

There are 10 total questions for each resource. Five multiple-choice questions and five open-ended questions.

There is a set of multiple-choice questions for each resource. These questions are about the included texts about the history of Thanksgiving, turkeys, cornucopias, apples, and pumpkins. These include 5 questions with 4 multiple-choice answers each. There are answer sheets available for this set of questions.

There is also a set of open-ended questions for each resource which also include 5 different questions. Students will write their own answers to these questions. These questions are also about the included texts about the history of Thanksgiving, turkeys, cornucopias, apples, and pumpkins. There are answer sheets available for this set of questions but it should be understood that some of the open-ended questions can be a little flexible with the correct answers, especially with why questions.

So that means that for each resource, there is a set of multiple-choice questions about the history of Thanksgiving, turkeys, cornucopias, apples, and pumpkins. These include 5 questions with 4 multiple-choice answers each about the history of Thanksgiving, turkeys, cornucopias, apples, and pumpkins. There is also a set of open-ended questions about the history of Thanksgiving, turkeys, cornucopias, apples, and pumpkins which also include 5 different questions about the history of Thanksgiving, turkeys, cornucopias, apples, and pumpkins.
