    1. Fossils Tell of Long Ago Open Court Unit 4 Lesson 1 Day 1

    14. Fossils Dinosaurs are one type of fossil. We are going to be starting a new unit that will help us to learn about many different kinds of fossils and how scientists learn about them. A lot of the stories that we will be reading will be expository writing.

    15. Thinking About the Theme Can you think of any stories that you have read about fossils? What do you already know about fossils?

    16. Read Aloud The selection that we are going to be reading is nonfiction and is divided into chapters. The book has a lot of illustrations with captions. The story we will read tells about a national park in the United States that you could visit to find fossils firsthand.

    17. Discussing the Read Aloud How does this read aloud relate to fossils? What did you learn about fossils? Where could you go to see fossils? How did this story change your ideas about fossils?

    18. Building Background What are fossils? Where might you see fossils? Have you ever had any personal experiences with fossils? Why do you think scientists and other people are interested in fossils?

    19. Background Information Expository Text The author’s purpose is to explain the topic that they are writing about. The author’s purpose in this piece of writing is to explain what information scientists and others can learn from studying fossils. Illustrations Many of the illustrations can be used to understand some unfamiliar words in the reading.

    21. First, the animal dies.

    22. Then layers of sediments start covering it. The flesh decays.

    23. Sediments go into the bones.

    24. Sediments replace the bones as they harden.

    25. After 10,000 years, it is a fossil.

    26. Preview and Prepare Look at the title of the story. Look at the pictures in the story. Look at the words in the story. Look for any clues, problems, or wonderings. Be ready to share them with the rest of the class.

Selection Vocabulary amber: a yellowish sap from plants that becomes a fossil fossil: a plant, animal, or imprint that has turned to stone extinct: not alive today; all members of the group or species have died out peat: swampy forest soil mammoth: a kind of elephant that lived millions of years ago

    184. Handing Off What are fossils? Why are fossils important discoveries? Have you ever seen fossils in a museum? What kinds of fossils did you see? What does “Fossils Tell of Long Ago” add to what you already know about fossils?

    185. Meet the Author and Illustrator Why do you think Aliki chose to include illustrations with speech balloons in this article she wrote about fossils? What reasons does Aliki have for writing nonfiction?

    186. Concept Words Geography Can you name any land or water features? These are examples of geography. What do you think geography means?

    187. Concept Words atmosphere What do you already know about the weather? What do you think atmosphere means?

    188. Adjectives Adjectives describe a person, place, or thing. It may be helpful when looking for adjectives to identify the nouns first. Articles The article “the” is used to talk about a definite person or thing. The article “a” and “an” are used to talk about any person or thing.

    189. Making Connections The Earth is much older than we may think. Dinosaurs roamed the Earth before there were any people! We know this because of fossils. Fossils tell us about the past, but we still have to figure out more information. Can you remember any times when you found an artifact or a fossil?
