Critical Thinking Have children complete the Critical Thinking questions on BLM 27.9.

Responding Have children complete the activities at the back of the book. Use the instruction below as needed to reinforce or extend understanding of the comprehension skill.

Target Comprehension Skill Fact and Opinion Explain that readers can think about whether a sentence has a fact or an opinion in it. Model the skill, using a “Think Aloud” like the one below:

Think Aloud Here are two sentences from this book: Sloane was born in Ireland in 1660. As a child, he was amazed by nature. It is a fact that Sloane was born in Ireland in 1660. That can be checked and proved true. It is the author’s opinion that nature amazed Hans when he was a child. A feeling like amazement is not something that can be proved.

Practice the Skill Have children re-read page 14 of Sir Hans Sloane to write a sentence with a fact and a sentence with an opinion.

Writing Prompt: Thinking Beyond the Text Have children write a response to the prompt on page 6. Remind them that when they think beyond the text, they use what they know and their own experience to think about the information in the book.

Assessment Prompts • On page 2, which words help the reader understand the meaning of the word collections? • What is the section Returning to England mainly about?
