Period:
Subject: Reading Unit: 0 Lesson: Hungbu and
Nolbu
Learning objectives: Material and resources:
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to: - Worksheets.
- Quote accurately from a text when explaining what the text - Whiteboard.
says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the - Graphic Organizers
text. RL.5.1
- Determine a theme of a story, drama, or poem from details
in the text, including how characters in a story or drama
respond to challenges or how the speaker in a poem
reflects upon a topic; summarize the text. RL5.2
- Use context (e.g., cause/effect relationships and
comparisons in text) as a clue to the meaning of a word or
phrase. L.5.4a
(Lead in) (2min.)
Tell the students that as good readers read narrative texts, they go beyond the character, setting, and plot to
analyze the theme and point of view. Explain that focusing on these skills helps students read more closely
and deepens their understanding of the story.

(Activities) New Vocabulary

Close Reading (25 min.)
 Explain Theme is the overall idea, lesson, moral, or message an author wants to
tell readers through the story. Sometimes readers will need to make
inferences to determine the theme. To do this they can use what the characters
do and say, or what happens to the characters. The theme in a story is often
closely related to how characters respond to challenges and what they learn as a
result.
- SS Reread the final paragraph. Ask: What is the theme of this story? Make an
inference. Cite text evidence to support your inference. (Answer: I can infer
that the theme is: Combining talents can lead to success. Evidence: The text
says that Hungbu teaches Nolbu the importance of kindness and generosity;
Nolbu teaches Hungbu to manage his riches. Working together, the brothers
enjoyed success.)
- SS are divided into groups. Ask them to complete the theme graphic organizer
trying to develop the theme finding clues through the whole story.
Vocabulary Strategy: Context Clues (25 min.)
- Students can sometimes use the words surrounding a new, unfamiliar word to
figure out its meaning. This is a strategy to use when reading alone,
especially when a dictionary or glossary is not readily available.
- Explain the following types of context clues: synonym, antonym, example,
etc.
- SS will be divided into groups to answer sheets about context clues
