  1. Expeditionary Learning Grade 8Module 1Unit 2 Case Study: WHY DO PEOPLE FLEE HOME?

  2. Lesson #9 Close Reading: Paragraph 1 of “Refugee and Immigrant Children: A Comparison” (from “Refugee Children in Canada: Searching for Identity”)

  3. Learning Objective: • Students will explain the similarities and differences between refugee children and immigrant children by doing a close read of “Refugee and Immigrant Children: A Comparison” and determining gist. • CCLS: • I can cite text-based evidence that provides the strongest support for an analysis of literary text. (RI.8.1) • I can determine a theme or the central ideas of an informational text. (RI.8.2) • I can analyze the structure of a specific paragraph in a text (including the role of particular sentences in developing and refining a key concept). (RI.8.5) • I can read above-grade informational texts with scaffolding and support. (RI.8.10)

  4. Lesson Vocabulary • refugee • refuge • immigrant • significant • disruptive • interrupt • sense of identity • generational gap • cultural gap

  5. Warm UpGive One, Get One” about Pages 213–234 of Inside Out & Back Again • Directions: • Circulate until Igive the signal. • When the music stops, you are to turn to the person closest to you and share one piece of evidence you recorded on your Structured Notes organizer from reading pages 213–234 that reveals an aspect of Ha’s dynamic character. • You give one piece of evidence and receive one piece of evidence from the person you are speaking to. • Repeat three times. Record evidence on Inside Out or Back Again anchor charts.

  6. LEARNING TARGETS: • I can find the gist of the first paragraph of “Refugee and Immigrant Children: A Comparison.” • I can analyze how specific words, phrases, and sentences help me understand how refugee and immigrant children are similar. • I can cite evidence to explain the similarities and differences between refugee children and immigrant children. Today you will be reading part of an informational text that will help you meet these targets. Think-Pair-Share: *How might reading an informational text help us understand Ha?

  7. Vocabulary and Predictions Before Reading: Venn Diagram to Compare Refugees and Immigrants • Turn to page 77 of the E.L. Workbook. • Focus on “Refugee and Immigrant Children: A Comparison” section from the full article “Refugee Children in Canada: Searching for Identity.” • This is one section from an article about refugee children who have fled their home country and then come to Canada to make a new home.

  8. Vocabulary We have been talking about refugees for a few weeks now. What is a refugee? What is a refuge? So how are these two words related to each other? Focus on the wordimmigrant. What did we learn the word emigrate means? What word root do you see in both words? What does migrant mean? What is the prefix added to that word? What might the prefix “im-” mean? An immigrant is someone who has chosen to move to a new country, but this person then settles where he or she has moved—and doesn’t move again. Both immigrants and refugees move to another place, but they move for different reasons.

  9. Similarities and Differences in How Refugees and Immigrants Adapt Anchor Chart • What is the difference between a refugee and an immigrant? • So is Ha a refugee or an immigrant? How do you know? Think-Pair-Share and record answers: So what common challenges do you think refugees and immigrants both face? Which challenges are unique to refugees? Which challenges are unique to immigrants?

  10. Reading Aloud and Rereading for Gist I will read to you first and then you will reread the paragraph on your own. Think-Pair-Share: What is this paragraph of the text mostly about? Annotate the first paragraph for the gist based on your pair discussion.

  11. Rereading and Text Dependent Questions • Turn to page 84 in your E.L. Workbooks. • Reread just the first sentence of paragraph 1: “Refugee and immigrant children in Canada have significant similarities.” • Focus on the first text-dependent question. • Read the question with me. • 1. The text says, “Refugee and immigrant children in Canada have significant similarities.” • What does significantmean? • Go back to the part of the text that the vocabulary was taken from so you can read it in context. • Discuss what you think the answer might be. • Record your ideas on your note-catcher.

  12. Text Dependent Questions • Reread the second sentence of paragraph 1: “Both groups must deal with migration, which represents a disruptive loss to one’s life.” • Think-Pair-Share: *We talked about migration earlier in relation to the word immigrants. What does migration mean? Look at the disruptivelosses part. So what does disruptive mean? The word disrupt has a similar root as the wordinterrupt. “Rupt” means to break.

  13. Focus on the longest sentence in the paragraph. “Both refugee and immigrant children may encounter society’s discrimination and racism, and both have to accomplish the central task of childhood and adolescence—developing a sense of identity—while trying to bridge generational and cultural gaps.” • What is a sense of identity? • What is a generational gap? • What is a cultural gap?

  14. Mix and Mingle: A Similarity in How Refugees and Immigrants Adapt • Skim the paragraph and underline every time the word both appears. • The author uses this word five times in the paragraph. The author was choosing words carefully to signal to readers that there are five main similarities between how refugees and immigrants adapt. • Take a few minutes to reread and think about one similarity in how refugees and immigrants adapt that they think is the most important and why. • Mix and Mingle: • Move around the room for 15 seconds. • I will use the signal (music or a hand signal) to get you to stop and share what you consider to be the most important similarity between how refugees and immigrants adapt with the person closest to you. Justify why you think that is the most important similarity. • Repeat until you have shared your similarity three times.

  15. Homework • A. We discussed what disruptive loss means in this lesson. Complete the homework question from “Refugee and Immigrant Children: A Comparison” Paragraph 1 Text-Dependent Questions on pg. 85 of your E.L. workbook. • B. Complete a first read of pages 238-247. Take notes using the Structured Notes graphic organizer. Focus on key details and the strongest evidence that reveal the challenges Ha is facing and her dynamic character, plus new or important vocabulary that helps you understand the specific challenges she faces as a refugee.

  16. Homework Vocabulary • consulted (seek information or advice) (237) • monastery (a place where monks, people who take religious vows, live) (240) • whim (a sudden change of mind) (241).
