This lesson focuses on encouraging students to accumulate details in the text so they can make inferences about the motivations of the story's protagonist, Keesh. The lesson begins with a shared read of the text, with the teacher providing some support for difficult but essential vocabulary words. Students will then work in small groups or pairs to discuss text-dependent questions that will support their ability to answer the day's focus question. An understanding of this event will help students understand Keesh as a character, and his role in the tribe. Special Materials: Students should have access to the student guided note sheet and copies of the anchor text.
