-How are Chen and Li different?

Sample answer: Chen is rich, unhappy and lives in a big house. Li does not have much money, is happy and
lives in a small house.
-Why did Chen give Li a box full of gold coins?
Sample answer: Chen was mad because Li made noise playing his flute. Chen hoped that Li would use the
money to buy a new house somewhere else
After the story is over, I will be asking this question and aiding the class in a group discussion
-What did Li mean when he said you can buy a house but not a home?
Sample answer: A house is just a building, but a home has a happy family in it.
Summative Evidence:
This will be in the form of a turn and talk with the students shoulder partners.
I will then call on the students randomly to ask the events of the story
What came first, what came second ect.

Perform the summative assessment

Meeting your students needs as

people and as learners

If applicable, how does this lesson connect to the interests and cultural backgrounds of your
students?
This book is based in China, so the students that are of Asian descent might be able to relate to the
story
Many of the students are from a lower-income household, and they might be able to relate to Li

Differentiationbased on the
needs of your students how will
you take individual and group
learning differences into account.

-Reading the story aloud will allow students who are below reading level a chance to hear the
story.
-Asking different types of questions will allow for students of all different backgrounds to answer.
-the discussion will allow students to build off of each others ideas, and will allow students to
learn from one-another.
Vocabulary development
Reading aloud is widely accepted as a means of developing vocabulary (Newton, Padak, & Rasinski, 2008),
particularly in young children (Biemiller & Boote, 2006).
