Grade 5, Lesson 5
Created by: M. Christoff,
Enrichment Specialist, Field Local
Schools
Elisa
is
writing in a
diary …
because she
wants to record
events in her
life and
make sense
our of her
feelings about
them.
She
gave
Elisa the
figurine …
at
the end of
her first visit
to the
United
States.
Elisa
is …
sad
about
moving to
the United
States.
She misses
Puerto Rico.
Elisa has a
negative
view of
being in
the United
States.
Her brother is
open to all the
changes he is
going through
in his new
home.
Their different
feelings cause
tension between
them.
The
author
uses
words…
such
as
“unbearable,”
“afraid,” and
“crazy”
which sets a
frustrated
tone.
The
author
has Elisa
describe her
own
problem…
by explaining to
her brother that
she feels lonely
and afraid
because she
can’t speak or
understand
spoken English
well.
Elisa’s brother
tries to help her
by suggesting
ways she can
learn English.
The main theme
of pages 126127 is….
that
you
must make
an effort to
overcome
your fear.
Elisa
decides
that she will
“like this
school after
all” because:
she meets a
student from
Guatemala
who is sad and
quiet, and
thinks she may
have found a
friend.
Elisa
calls
her
classmates
“opponents”
because …
she feels like
she is
competing
with them to
give the right
answer.
The
details
used to
describe and
help the
reader
visualize the
quetzal
include….
soft feathers,
green crest,
red chest,
gorgeous bird,
and the
illustration on
page 129.
Elisa
smiled
for the first
time since
classes
started
because…
she
feels that
she has done
something to
feel good
about. She
received a “A”
on her
composition.
I
think that
Elisa’s and
Jose’s plan
will help…
them
overcome fear
of new things
by working
with someone
else to solve
the problem.
I think
Elisa
learned
that new
situations
…
are easier to
deal with when
you have
another
person to help
you.
Elisa’s
introduction
to “the
joining of
forces” shows
...
that she has
learned to
overcome fear
in new
situations.
She shares her
story of a first
day in a new
school.
Elisa
shares
this story
with her
students
because …
she
wants her
students to
discover that
they can work
with others to
overcome
their fears.
