Reflect on Reading Strategies

• How did using prior knowledge help students understand what they read? Ask them to explain how thinking about the foods before reading helped them better understand what they were reading.
• Discuss any other strategies they used while reading. For example, ask students to show you a word in the book that they sounded out. Or, ask them to explain how looking at a photograph helped them understand what they read. 

Applying the Comprehension Strategy: Organizing information using a map

• Guided Practice: Use think-aloud strategies to revise your prediction using the book: Does anyone remember where we read about papayas? If I look on page 16, I read that papayas are a popular food among people in the South Pacific. The countries of New Zealand and Australia are located in the South Pacific. If I hold up the map in the book next to the map on the worksheet, I can match the shapes of New Zealand and Australia, and I'll know where to place the word papaya on the worksheet.
• If students need more guidance or are stumped by a particular food, you may wish to provide more help.
• Independent Practice: Have students complete the map on the worksheet. If students have time, they may color the map when they are finished.
