thinking, include core competencies
and big ideas, gr. 4/5
The Sequence
•  Goal	today	–	stretch	your	thinking	and	work	like	a	detecIve	to	use	
clues	to	figure	things	out	
•  EssenIal	quesIon:		How	does	where	you	live	affect	how	you	live?	
–  How	can	you	answer	this	already?	
–  Partner	talk,	then	group	share	
•  Image:		see	–	think	–	wonder	
•  Quick	write	
•  Explode	the	sentence	
•  Reflect	with	core	competencies
Explode the Sentence
•  One	day	many	years	ago,	children	were	
playing	in	the	village,	learning	to	be	good	
warriors	and	hunters.
Critical Thinking Core Competency
•I	am	becoming	an	acIve	listener;	I	ask	quesIons	and	make	connecIons.			
Evidence:	
•When	I	talk	and	work	with	peers,	I	express	my	ideas	and	encourage	others	to	express	theirs;	I	share	
roles	and	responsibiliIes.			
Evidence:	
•I	recount	and	comment	on	events	and	experiences.	
Evidence:
Unpacking the Lesson
•  What	struck	you?	
–  Engagement	of	the	kids	
–  1	hour,	40	minutes	
–  All	could	parIcipate	
–  Major	shics	in	thinking	
–  Content	woven	into	massive	thinking	
–  All	responses	were	accepted	
–  Your	language:		each	child	was	honoured	and	liced	up	
☺	
–  I	could	do	this!!
Next Steps
•  Next	day,	begin	with	another	image	and	another	sentence	
to	explode	(should	take	half	the	Ime)	
•  Move	to	groups	of	2-3	and	have	each	group	of	students	
explode	a	different	sentence	
•  Share	the	sentences	and	an	interpretaIve	comment	about	
each	
•  Can	the	students,	together,	move	to	read	their	sentences	in	
order?	
•  Retype	the	same	10	sentences	–	as	10,	7	and	5.		Students	
choose	which	they	want	and	re-order	them	BME		
•  Keep	listening	to	the	kids	read	
•  Read	the	text,	and	reflect	on	how	where	you	live	affects	
how	you	live.	
•  Repeat	process	with	2	other	Roy	Henry	Vickers	books,	
highlighIng	content.

•  Focus:	Develop	difference	between	factual	
informaIon	(remember,	surprise,	interesIng)	
from	response	and	thinking
