Players shoot a marble at other target marbles laced inside a circle drawn on the ground.

  24. While we are reading: asking questions, making connections, visualizing Read page 36-37. It is important as you read to revisit the questions you asked so that you can see if they have been answered. I see that one of our questions has been answered. There is going to be a championship marble contest. Have any other questions been answered yet? If you come up with a question or an answer to a questions as we read, share it with the group.

  25. While we are reading: Making connections • Page 38-39 I might better understand Lupe if I can connect her with something I know or have read about. • Lupe must be serious about marbles if she’d rather practice than do her homework. After all, she is a straight-A student, and she has a whole shelf of awards from school. • But I know how it can be when you start doing something new. I once started playing a computer game and I didn’t even notice how much time had passed while I was playing! • As you are reading, be aware of how ideas or events in the story remind you of things that have happened to you. When you make such connections, tell the class about them.

  26. Strategies we used as we read: Did you ask questions as you read? Did you clarify confusing words or passages by reading further? Did you summarize as you read? Explain how using the strategies helped them to understand the selection better. How did you read effectively to find answers to the questions we asked as we set the purposes?
