Throughout Unit 1, students were introduced to various total participation techniques (e.g., cold calling, equity sticks, turn and talk, Think-Pair-Share, etc.). Students continue these routines in the first half of this unit. In Unit 1, students described events in Love That Dog and how Jack feels about them, and learned about what inspires Jack and the poets he studies to write poetry. By participating in this volume of reading over a span of time, students will develop a wide base of knowledge about the world and the words that help describe and make sense of it. The research reading that students complete for homework will help build both their vocabulary and knowledge pertaining to poetry and what inspires people to write. Students practice their fluency in this lesson by following along and reading silently as the teacher reads from Love That Dog in Work Time A. 
The characteristic they collect in this lesson is perseverance, because they will be working to finish reading Love That Dog over the next several lessons.
Throughout the rest of this unit, students will "collect" characteristics of effective learners on a Working to Become Effective Learners anchor chart.
In this unit, the habit of character focus is on working to become effective learners. Consider how familiar students are with this protocol and reallocate class time spent introducing it as necessary. In Work Time A, students participate in the Thumb-O-Meter protocol. Students then revisit the section and analyze Jack's writing to infer what inspired him to write poetry in those pages of the book ( RL.4.3). They read a section for the gist and analyze what happened in those pages and how Jack felt about it ( RL.4.1, RL.4.3). In this lesson, students continue reading the novel Love That Dog. Purpose of lesson and alignment to standards: Select a prompt and respond in the front of your independent reading journal.
