Three Day BreakdownThe Common Core Standards naturally lend to close reading. The goal is to have students read closely without adult scaffolding. This goal can only be achieved

through practice and application. In small or whole group, you will want to begin a lesson with an anticipatory set or ‘hook”. Limit excessive front-loading.

In addition, you will also want to go over any extremely difficult vocabulary.

Don’t forget! You can also use this unit as week-long homework!

The Magic Goose

Name _________________________

Word Count 311

Ages ago, a farmer and his wife

wanted to purchase a chicken. The

chicken would provide them with eggs for their morning meal. But

there was a problem, chickens cost a lot of money and the couple did not have

much to spend. Instead, the farmer and his wife decided on a cheaper

animal. They carefully chose a plump goose. The two were delighted with

their purchase. They built a clean and neat pen for it.

The farmer and his wife turned in for the night. At dawn, they went to

collect the eggs the goose laid. They were surprised to find a golden egg in the

nest! The farmer and his wife happily used the golden egg to buy food. They

fed the goose, but forgot to clean the pen.

The next day with excitement, they found another golden egg. The farmer

and his wife quickly left to buy new clothes, but before leaving, they threw the

goose a few table scraps. The goose remained hungry the rest of the day.

When the couple came home with new clothes, they went straight to bed

without tending to the goose. The two talked about buying a horse with the

next golden egg. In the morning, the couple was ecstatic. They found another

golden egg! In haste, they trekked to the village to buy a horse. Once again,

they did not clean the pen. This time they also did not feed the goose.

Later, when the two got home, they neglected the goose and paid no

attention to her! The farmer and his wife expected the goose to lay another

golden egg. The next morning, the couple checked for the golden egg, but

there was nothing there! The goose went missing and they had no food to

eat. They looked at the dirty pen and empty food bowl with disappointment

in themselves.

There once was a mother and son living in

a shed. Their main source of food was fish. Everyday,

the son would venture down to the nearby ocean, cast his line into the water,

and wait for a bite.

On one of his journeys to the sea, he felt three hard tugs on his pole. The

son reeled in his line. On the end was a beautiful fish! The fish spoke and

explained to the boy how he was a magical fish. The magic fish told the son

that if he put him back into the water, he would grant him a wish. Then, he

released the magical fish. The son was so hungry, he asked for food on his

table when he got home. When the young man walked into his shed home,

there were all sorts of food on the table!

He ate with his mother and told her all about the magical fish. His mother

became greedy. She demanded the son go back and ask for a new house. The

son listened to his mother’s orders and went back to the ocean. The magical

fish granted his wish and when the son returned, there stood a new house.

Even with food and a new house, the greedy mother became melancholy. The

unhappy mother told her son how she wanted to become a queen with land as

far as the eye could see.

The son told his mom she was being greedy. She pushed him out the door

and told him to ask for this last wish. The son went back to the ocean. He

asked the magical fish for the last wish. The fish told him that his mother would

get what she deserves. When the boy got home, the mother was standing in

front of their old shed with barely any food left to eat.

The word melancholy means sad or unhappy. The author shows this by explicitly using theword unhappy to describe how the mother felt after getting a house full of food.

Once, a king had a young daughter that was full of

life. The young princess would go outside to run and play.

One day, she was playing with her favorite ball and it rolled into a creek.

The princess was devastated. She sat weeping on the bank of

the creek and then heard a voice. The princess looked in the direction

to see a frog sitting on a lily pad. The frog said he can get the ball if

she promised to let him eat from her plate, drink from her cup, and

sleep in her bedroom. The princess eagerly agreed, so the frog swam

to fetch her favorite ball.

The princess picked up the ball and ran away. The frog called

out to her, but she ran to the castle. He hopped like a kangaroo to the

castle and knocked on the door. The princess’ father, the king, let him

in. The king was informed about what had happened and demanded

that the princess keep her promise. So the frog ate from her plate,

drank from her cup, and slept in her room. Over night, the frog slept

like a baby. In the morning, he had turned into a prince!

At breakfast, the frog prince told them of a witch that had

cast a spell on him. The only way to break the spell was to eat

from the plate, drink from the cup, and sleep in the same room

of a princess. The king allowed the new frog prince to live in

the castle. Soon, the frog prince married the young princess.

Friendly LittleThere was a young girl called Little Red Riding Hood

because she wore a red cloak everyday. One day, she had to

take a basket of goodies to her grandmother’s cottage. Her

father told her to ignore strangers. She affirmed him that

she would follow his directions.

She took the basket of goodies and headed down the

www.247teacher.us© 24/7 Teacher

path. A wood-cutter saw her and said hello. She ignored

him and walked past. As she continued down the path, a wolf followed her and

made polite comments about her red cloak. The girl was flattered. She started

tweeting with the wolf like a happy little red bird. Once the wolf found out

where she was going, he left. The wolf was unkind and wanted to scare Little

Red Riding Hood. He raced ahead to her grandmother’s house and he found it

empty. The wolf dressed into grandmother’s clothes. He laid in her bed and

pulled up the covers so his head stuck out like a turtle.

Soon, the granddaughter arrived and knocked on the door. The wolf

called out for her to enter. Little Red Riding Hood walked in and smiled at the

wolf. She joyfully said, “I have a basket of goodies for the best grandma in

whole the world.” Just as the wolf was about to scare her, he was interrupted.

The wood-cutter entered through another door and surprised the wolf. The

wolf was so scared he jumped out of grandmother’s clothes and ran away!

Earlier, the wood-cutter saw the wolf talking to Little Red Riding Hood.

Fearing that the wolf was going to do harm, he followed him. Now, the wolf will

not menace anyone ever again and Little Red Riding Hood will not talk to

strangers anymore.

Years ago, a cheerful young lady had the burden of living with a cruel stepmother.

This stepmother had two stepdaughters that were equally mean. They were mean and

forced her to clean up after them. At home, they called her Cinderella because they

made her clean the filthy cinders from the chimney.

One day, a messenger came to their cottage with an invitation to a ball. A lonely

prince set up the dance invitations. His purpose was to choose a bride to become his

princess. The two stepsisters were overjoyed. They ordered Cinderella to comb their

hair, clean their shoes, and paint their nails.

Cinderella begged and pleaded with her stepmother to go to the ball. The evil

stepmother squinted her eyes, but said ok. Cinderella hustled to get her stepsisters

ready. When she finished, she desperately tried to get ready, but it was too late. The

cruel stepmother and sisters left without her! Cinderella fell to the floor and wept.

Her crying drew mystical birds into the house. The magical birds dressed her in a

beautiful dress, delicate glass slippers, and gently flew her to the ball.

When Cinderella entered the ball, everyone took one look at her and gasped.

The evil stepmother and sisters did not recognize Cinderella. The prince took her by

the hand and they danced all night. When it was over, Cinderella bolted out the door.

She had to get home before anyone else. She was in such a hurry, she lost one of her

glass slippers and forgot to tell the prince her name.

The next day, the prince road off with the glass slipper and a list of all the girls in

the kingdom. When he arrived at their house, the stepsisters cried. The glass slipper

could not fit their goofy feet. The prince read the list and claimed there was another

young lady in the cottage. The unfair stepmother claimed Cinderella did not go to the

ball. The prince insisted that she try on the glass slipper. Cinderella gently put on the

slipper and the stepmother and sisters were shocked. The

prince swept Cinderella off her feet. He brought her back

to the castle where she never had to clean again.

Name _________________________________

One cloudy summer day, a monkey looked into the stormy sky.

The monkey could tell it was going to be a harsh winter. He wanted

to be prepared so he went right to work.

The monkey pulled a heavy wagon full of food. He saw a

strong lion and asked him to help pull the wagon. The lazy lion did

not want to help, but would rather sit and watch the ants. The

monkey told the lion to get prepared for a harsh winter. The lion

told the monkey he would do something when the winter comes.

The next day, the monkey went to collect food and he saw the

lion chasing butterflies. The lion enticed the monkey to play in the

field and chase butterflies. The monkey played for a short time.

Then, he continued to pull the wagon like a strong ox. Once again,

the lion did not help.

When winter came, the monkey had plenty to eat because he

had worked hard all summer long. The monkey relaxed in his cozy

home with the sweet smell of success. The winter became one of the

coldest in history. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. It was

the lion shivering and thinner than a rail. He told the monkey that he

could not find a thing to eat because the land was frozen over. The

lion said he was wrong and apologized for not helping

prepare. The monkey forgave the lion and let him in to

eat and warm up.
