Explanatory Prompt
In 1597, Sir Frances Bacon wrote “Knowledge is power.” Inform readers about overpopulation. Use information from
Poppy
and “Moose on the Move” to explain overpopulation and possible solutions. Give readers specific information from “6.5 Billion and Counting!” and the overpopulation video to help them understand overpopulation and the challenges that go with it.
Scaffolding
Think about the following as you plan, write, and revise
: O Begin with a definition of overpopulation: Overpopulation is a situation in which there are more people (or mice) for the available resources such as energy, water, food, and space. O Explain overpopulation using Poppy’s family as an example. Give details from Lungwort’s speech then explain Lungwort’s proposed solution. O Explain how the overpopulation problem in “Moose on the Move” is solved.
O Conclude by giving information from “6.5 Billion and Counting!” and the overpopulation video to help readers understand overpopulation.
Sharing with Data Walls

Vocabulary
Vocabulary As you read aloud, stop at any or all of the following words and ask students to try to figure the meanings out from the context. Use the definitions if necessary:
taunt
(“mock, tease”) p.143,
feint
(“tricky move, dodge”) p. 145,
excruciating
pain (“unbearable pain”)
Focus for Reading/Listening
Focus for Listening: As you listen to these chapters, visualize the battle that takes place between Poppy and Mr. Ocax. Think about what the outcome means for Poppy’s family at home.
Scaffolding for Guided Reading and Discussion
Read Aloud
pointing out the following: O Pp. 142-143: As Ocax attacks, Ragweed’s earring saves her. Ocax sneers and Poppy taunts (mocks, teases) him.
O Pp. 145-149: The battle continues as Poppy manages to strike Ocax’s claw with her “sword.” The quill becomes lodged in his claw, and Ocax “…[flies] like one possessed.” O Pp. 149-151: Poppy manages to hold on as Ocax flies erratically until Poppy realizes that Ocax plans to try to dislodge the quill by striking his claw against the salt block. Poppy lets go just in time to avoid being part of the collision that breaks up the salt block and leaves Ocax motionless on the ground on his back. Poppy is more curious than frightened and investigates. Ocax says his last words and dies.
Discussion and Review
O Focus for Reading (parenthesis) O Guided Reading (notes) O Focus Questions
Focus Question #3 What were Poppy’s observations about New House? Would it be a good place for her family? Answer Plan
1. Restate the first question and write a few sentences about what Poppy observes when she arrives at New House.
2. Write a sentence that states whether you agree or disagree that New House would be a good place for Poppy and her family.
3. Give reasons to support your opinion.
Possible Answer
(1) When Poppy arrives at New House, she observes fields full of ripe corn. Beyond the corn fields, Poppy notices a white house with curtains covering the windows, an indication that people live in this house. A red barn sits to the left of the house. To Poppy’s surprise, a huge owl is perched just below the barn roof. (2) I agree that New House would be a good place for Poppy and her family. (3) There is plenty of food to feed her large family, more than they need. They would not have to travel far in search of food. The mice would no longer be hungry.
OR
(1 and 2) I disagree that New House would be a good place for Poppy and her family. (3) Even though there is plenty of corn, the mice might be vulnerable to attacks from predators, such as the huge owl that sits near the roof of the barn. I think it is more important to be safe from harm than to have a large supply of food.
