you read the Learning Targets aloud using the oral cloze strategy. When finished, explain to students that in this lesson, they will learn vocabulary about analyzing an excerpt from a novel, which will help them understand the entire unit.
2 Drawstudents’attentiontotheWord Connections box on page 94. Distribute a copy of the Multiple Meaning Words Graphic Organizer to each student.
Read aloud the Multiple Meaning Words box. Have students write the word atmosphere on their graphic organizer. Point out the Spanish cognate atmósfera or the Haitian Creole cognate atmosfé if appropriate for your student audience. Ask students the word atmosphere aloud. Point out the word-part –sphere. Say: I know that a sphere is an orb or globe. I also know that one meaning
of atmosphere is “the gases in the air that surround our planet.” However, this does not seem to be the meaning here. In the context of discussing a story, atmosphere has to do with the feeling of a story. Have students work in pairs, groups, or individually to complete
the graphic organizer for the word atmosphere. Then have them follow a similar procedure for the word mood. Provide dictionaries for student use. When finished, have students share their findings and correct or affirm word meanings as appropriate.

3 Introduce the literary terms activity by asking students to look at the QHT criteria
on page 94. Ask students to read each criteria chorally, one at a time. Clarify each term using thumbs up, thumbs down, and neutral hand motions as each criteria is read to help make meaning. Check for student understanding of the criteria and have students work independently to rate each of the words in the chart to indicate how well they know them.
4 Have students look at the In Our Own Words column. Say: I can say each of these definitions in my own words. This will help me understand them better. I will look at the first word: imagery. The definition is “the use of words to create pictures” Using my own words, I can rewrite the definition as “using words to make pictures in a reader’s mind.”
As a class, work to restate the second definition: motif. Write ideas on the board. Have the class choose the best restatement and write it in the second column.
