Grade 2 4th Quarter Pacing Guide Unit 4: Series Book Clubs

Your second-graders have blossomed into almost third-graders, and will be tackling series books in this last unit. You’ll invite children to slow down, study texts carefully, and think more deeply about messages found in texts and about author’s craft. Students will begin reading a series with a partner, collecting information about the main characters of their books. Then, you’ll form clubs by joining sets of two partnership to continue to study the series together. In discussing books with their clubs, your students will develop bigger ideas than they would have developed on their own. Later, students will start reading a book in their series and engaging in inquiry, thinking about the craft the writer employs. They will study ways authors use word choices, figurative language, punctuation, and even patterns to construct a series and evoke feelings in readers. At the end of this unit, you’ll teach students to invent ways to share their books with others. You will also teach them to hold debates inside their clubs as another way to share and grow ideas about books.

Concept Understanding: Students will become more adept at the foundational skills upon which all fiction readers rely: previewing, prediction, monitoring for sense, inferring and understanding characters and other story elements.

Essential Questions: How can I learn about a character by thinking about how that character responds to problems? Once I come to know a star character in a series well, how do I use that knowledge to almost predict that character’s next steps? What do authors do to paint a vivid picture with words? How can I create a thoughtful presentation on a book or series that I love, so that others would be interested in learning about it?
