Pre-Writing
Read-Aloud Discussion
1. Display the photo for Science with Julio • Ciencia con Julio in
Reagan’s Journal.
2. Ask students: What do you see in this photo? Where might this
photo have been taken? ¿Qué ven en esta fotografía? ¿Dónde
podría haber sido tomada esta fotografía?
3. Ask a volunteer to explain why the boy is using a magnifying
glass.
4. Read the first paragraph, and then invite students to answer
Reagan’s question.
5. Then read the second paragraph. Invite students to answer Reagan’s next question.
6. Discuss what Reagan and Julio like to do at the Science Workstation. Discuss the choices students have in

7. Provide information about silkworms. Explain that silkworms are a special type of caterpillar. The
silkworm eats white mulberry leaves for many days, and then it spends three days spinning a cocoon.
After approximately three weeks, the silkworm emerges as a moth. People use the silkworm’s cocoon to
make silk fabric. The silkworm’s diet of white mulberry leaves allows the silkworm to produce silken
thread for its cocoon.

additional writing ideas:

Ask students to write about why some snacks are healthy or unhealthy to eat. Prompt students by asking
why an apple might be healthier to eat than a bag of chips. Write students’ responses on chart paper for
student reference during journal writing.
Observation Form
Review Reagan’s journal entry. Have students look at the photo of Reagan’s
friend, Julio, and discuss how Reagan and Julio have fun playing together in
class because they know how to cooperate. Ask students for examples of ways
they cooperate at school. Invite them to write about this topic in their journal.
Reagan’s class had silkworms to observe. If your students have a class pet,
invite them to write letters to this pet. Make a special mailbox. Set aside a time
when students can read their letters to the class pet.
Print copies of the Observation Form on pages 58-59. Distribute copies to
students, along with magnifying glasses and objects students can observe
(e.g., leaf, pencil, unusual rock). Have students record their observations about
the object’s color, texture, shape, size, smell, and weight.

Revising: Small-Group Sharing
Encourage students to add sensory words to their sentences about their favorite snack or fruit. Say: Describe
how it looks. How would you describe the texture, the way it feels in your mouth? Tell about the taste and smell.
Describan cómo se ve. ¿Cómo describirían la textura, la manera en que se siente en la boca? Háblenme sobre el
gusto y el olfato.
Editing: Working with a Partner
Ask students to work with a partner to review and edit their work. Focus on the editing skills taught during
Modeled Writing. Ask questions such as:
Did you start your sentence with an uppercase letter? ¿Empezaste la oración con una letra mayúscula?
Did you spell favorite and fruit or snack correctly? ¿Deletreaste favorita y fruta or bocadillo de la manera
correcta?
