During Reading
1) Play the accompanying CD track for the students. Tell them to follow along i n the book as the native speaker reads the passage. If the class is advanced enough, ask basic comprehension questions about the topic, main idea, details, etc.
2) Read the title and subtitle together. Tell the students to keep them in mind while they read the passage themselves since the title and subtitle often contain the passage’s topic and/or main idea.
3) There are many ways to read a passage as a class, and different classes may respond better to different techniques. It is also good to use different techniques on different days to prevent too much routine. Some different ways to read through a passage are:
• Select students to read each paragraph aloud one at a ti me.
• Have the students take turns reading sentences in a predetermined pattern. • Have the students read up to three or four sentences before choosing the next reader.
• Have the entire class read a paragraph or the whole passage out loud together. • Read a paragraph or the passage yourself, but tell the students to say the next word out loud any time you pause mid-sentence.
• Read each sentence and have an individual student or the class repeat it back to you to practice reading pronunciation.
4) Whenever a keyword or phrase is read, have the students underline it. If time permits, ask one or more students for a quick summary of the word’s denition.
5) After each paragraph is read, ask the students what its main idea is and then direct them to the Paragraph Summary below the passage. Have them ll in the sentence summarizing that paragraph and quickly discuss why it is the paragraph’s most important information. If necessary, write the summary on the board as well and/ or explain why it is the best summary. Writing it on the board is useful since you will have a complete summary on the board for easy reference by the end of the passage.
After Reading
1) Ask the students what the main idea of the reading passage was. Since they will be doing more summaries of the information later, there is no need to go in depth into supporting details. If necessary, write the main idea on the board for future reference.
2) Read the Connect to Yourself question at the bottom of the second page of the reading passage. Have the students answer it using the information from the passage and/or their own personal experience to integrate what they have learned into their lives. Any answers or discussion should be encouraged.
3) Reading Comprehension
If you feel that the students have a good understanding of the passage or are at the level to answer the questions by themselves, have them complete the page on their own or with a par tner and check the answers as a class. However, if the students are at a lower level or cannot answer the questions easily, go through the page as a class. Read both the question and answer choices all together, and explain why the correct choice is the answer after the students have identied it. Explain what main idea, purpose, detail, and inference all mean as you do so.
4) Graphic Organizer
Explain how graphic organizers help show information from reading passages in a logical way. Put this unit’s graphic organizer on the board and go through it as a class so the students can process the ow of information better. Check the students’ answers before you move on.
5) Summary
Have the students complete the summary by lling i n the blanks either individually or in pairs. Refer them to their graphic organizers and any notes on the board for assistance. Another option is to ll in the summary all together as a class if students are struggling. Check the students’ answers before continuing.

6) Vocabulary Test
This vocabulary test covers all of the keywords in the objectives box above, not just the ones in Before You Read. It is up to the teacher on when to go over these extra vocabulary words. Some possible places are: right after matching up the words in the Before You Read section, as they come up in the reading passage, or right before the Vocabulary Test itself. This has been left intentionally open ended to allow the teachers some exibility in their class plans.
Extra Idea (optional)
Divide the class into two to four teams. Have one volunteer from each team come to the front of the classroom facing away from the board. Write a v ocabulary word on the board and have the rest of the students explain the word (without saying it) to their team members who are at the front. The rst student to guess the word receives a point for their team, and the team with the most points at the end wins the game. If necessary, it is also possible to use previous vocabulary words.
Additional Writing and Speaking (optional)
Writing
Have the students answer the Connect to Yourself question either on spare paper or in the blank Memo section in the back of the workbook. Encourage them to write at least ve or six sentences using the information from the passage and their own experience. Then edit their responses and have the students present them at the front of the class.
Speaking
Put the students into pairs. Give each pair a starting line, such as "I was in Hawaii last summer when a volcano erupted." Then have each student take turns adding sentences to the story. Tell the students that they must use keywords and phrases from the unit. Not only will the students be entertained by their classmates' creative adventures, but they will have to use comprehension and vocabulary skil ls to contribute to the story. Continue for a set amount of time or until each pair of students has used all the keywords from the unit.

Graphic Organizer & Summary
Step 1
Negative – buildings, plants, and wildlife habitats / move quickly / breathing problems / damage jet engines
Positive – major tourist attractions / benecial for farming / a natural fertil izer / create electricity
Step 2
Volcanoes have both negative effects and positive effects. The negative effects include death and destruction. Lava ows can destroy buildings, plants, and wildlife habitats. Mixtures of hot gas and ash can move quickly and are ver y deadly. Finally, volcanic ash can cause breathing problems or can cause houses to collapse. It can also damage jet engines. But there are positive effects of volcanoes as well. Some volcanoes are major tourist attractions. Moreover, volcanic eruptions can be benecial for farming because the ash from volcanic eruptions acts as a natural fertilizer. Finally, volcanic heat can be used to create electricity.

LESSON GUIDE
Before Reading
1) Have the students turn to the title page of Chapter 1 and read the chapter title, the Think BIG question, and the Lesson 2 question (other lesson questions are also an option). Brainstorm answers to these questions all together. Any response is desirable, so do not limit the students in their answers. Some of the following guide questions may also be asked of individual students or giv en to pairs to discuss:
• Are you interested in studying rocks? Why or why not? • How are volcanic rocks different from other rocks? • What are some ways that volcanic rocks are useful?
2) Turn to the chapter’s Background Knowledge page (p. 8) right after the chapter title page. Read through the Lesson 2 background knowledge with the students and clarify any confusion they may have. If time permits, ask the students basic comprehension questions about the passage. Explain that this information will be helpful to them in understanding the main reading passage.
3) Read the discussion question in Before You Read part A and encourage the students to discuss it either in pairs or as a class.
4) Introduce the keywords from Before You Read part B. Give denitions of the words to the students and have them match the easier synonyms in the box with the sentences below. Quickly check them as a class, and then offer examples of the words in another context if possible. The objectives box above also lists other suggested vocabulary words that can be dened for the students, but when those are introduced is up to the teacher’s discretion.
5) Have the students ll i n the sentences with the keywords either individually, in pairs, or as a class. Check their answers to ensure comprehension.
Extra Idea for Vocabulary Practice (optiona l): Time is Ticking
Have the students work in pairs. Tell each pair that they have one minute (you can extend the time limit if necessary) to make as many sentences as possible using the different words from the keyword section. However, remind the students that spelling and grammar still count. E ach correct sentence they make is worth one point. The team with the most points is the winner.

Speaking
Select three or four vocabulary or topic categories within the reading passage’s theme. Put the students into three or four groups and divide the board into sections, one for each team. Have a student from each group come to the board as the designated writer. These writers are not allowed to bring any paper up with them. Instead, after you give the students a category, have their team members shout out ideas for the writers to put on their sections of the board. For advanced students, have them say the correct spelling for the writer as well. The team with the most relevant words on the board at the end of a set time wins. Change writers until each student has had a chance to write.

Step 1
Intrusive – magma cools and hardens / make buildings and gravestones / make cobblestone streets
Extrusive – lava cools and hardens / make roads and statues / thousands of tiny bubbles / remove dead skin
Step 2
Igneous rock is formed by volcanoes. There are two types of igneous rock: intrusive rock and extrusive rock. Intrusive igneous rock is formed when magma cools and hardens under the earth’s surface. Granite and diorite are examples of intrusive rock. Granite is a ver y hard rock used to make buildings and gravestones. Diorite is a hard rock used to make cobblestone streets. Extrusive igneous rock is formed when lava cools and hardens on the earth’s surface. Basalt and pumice are examples of extrusive rock. Basalt is rich in iron and used to make roads and statues. Pumice is very light because it contains thousands of tiny bubbles and it is often used to remove dead skin from people’s feet.

Subject Link L9 • Teacher’s Guide 21 20
During Reading
1) Play the accompanying CD track for the students. Tell them to follow along i n the book as the native speaker reads the passage. If the class is advanced enough, ask basic comprehension questions about the topic, main idea, details, etc.
2) Read the title and subtitle together. Tell the students to keep them in mind while they read the passage themselves since the title and subtitle often contain the passage’s topic and/or main idea.
3) There are many ways to read a passage as a class, and different classes may respond better to different techniques. It is also good to use different techniques on different days to prevent too much routine. Some different ways to read through a passage are:
• Select students to read each paragraph aloud one at a ti me.
• Have the students take turns reading sentences in a predetermined pattern. • Have the students read up to three or four sentences before choosing the next reader.

2) Read the Connect to Yourself question at the bottom of the second page of the reading passage. Have the students answer it using the information from the passage and/or their own personal experience to integrate what they have learned into their lives. Any answers or discussion should be encouraged.
3) Reading Comprehension
If you feel that the students have a good understanding of the passage or are at the level to answer the questions by themselves, have them complete the page on their own or with a par tner and check the answers as a class. However, if the students are at a lower level or cannot answer the questions easily, go through the page as a class. Read both the question and answer choices all together, and explain why the correct choice is the answer after the students have identied it. Explain what main idea, purpose, detail, and inference all mean as you do so.
4) Graphic Organizer
Explain how graphic organizers help show information from reading passages in a logical way. Put this unit’s graphic organizer on the board and go through it as a class so the students can process the ow of information better. Check the students’ answers before you move on.
5) Summary
Have the students complete the summary by lling i n the blanks either individually or in pairs. Refer them to their graphic organizers and any notes on the board for assistance. Another option is to ll in the summary all together as a class if students are struggling. Check the students’ answers before continuing.

6) Vocabulary Test
This vocabulary test covers all of the keywords in the objectives box above, not just the ones in Before You Read. It is up to the teacher on when to go over these extra vocabulary words. Some possible places are: right after matching up the words in the Before You Read section, as they come up in the reading passage, or right before the Vocabulary Test itself. This has been left i ntentionally open ended to allow the teachers some exibility in their class plans.
Extra Idea (optional): Word Mix-up
Prepare copies of the passage for the students. On the copies, switch all of the keywords around with each other. Ask the students to read the text as a group normally and then tell them to stop after each sentence with a keyword is read. Ask the students which word in the sentence should not be there and what word i t should be replaced with.
Additional Writing and Speaking (optional)
Writing
Have the students answer the Connect to Yourself question either on spare paper or in the blank Memo section in the back of the workbook. Encourage them to write at least ve or six sentences using the information from the passage and their own experience. Then edit their responses and have the students present them at the front of the class.
Speaking: Storytelling & Memory Game
Have the students sit in a circle. Ask one student to start a story with a sentence that has one of the unit’s keywords. For example, if “empty” is a keyword, the sentence could be, "Once there was a boy with an empty box." The next student will continue the story with another keyword sentence, and so on until every student has participated or every keyword has been used. For advanced students, have them repeat the previous sentences before adding their own. Any student who forgets a line is out of the game. In this way, the students will build a stor y while remembering and repeating the previous sentences.

Legend – ght with an Irish warrior, Finn McCool / pretended to be his own baby / much sm aller t han Fing al / F ingal r an away
Scientic Facts – experienced heavy volcanic activity / columns formed as a result / a popular tourist attraction / its beautiful scenery
Step 2
Volcanic eruptions have caused new natural landscapes. An example of this is the Giant’s Causeway in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. An Irish legend says that Fingal, a giant from Scotland, came to Ireland to ght with an Irish warrior, Finn McCool. Finn McCool was much smaller than Fingal, so he pretended to be his own baby. This scared Fingal, and the Giant’s Causeway was destroyed when he ran away. Scientists, however, know that the area where the Giant’s Causeway is located experienced heavy volcanic activity 50 to 60 mill ion years ago. Columns formed as a result of a lava plateau hardening and cracking. It became a popular tourist attraction and is still known for its beautiful scenery.

LESSON GUIDE
Before Reading
1) Have the students turn to the title page of Chapter 1 and read the chapter title, the Think BIG question, and the Lesson 4 question (other lesson questions are also an option). Brainstorm answers to these questions all together. Any response is desirable, so do not limit the students in their answers. Some of the following guide questions may also be asked of individual students or giv en to pairs to discuss:
• What is Hawaii like?
• Do you know any legends about volcanoes?
• What would happen if you made a volcano goddess angry?
2) Turn to the chapter’s Background Knowledge page (p. 8) right after the chapter title page. Read through the Lesson 4 background knowledge with the students and clarify any confusion they may have. If time permits, ask the students basic comprehension questions about the passage. Explain that this information will be helpful to them in understanding the main reading passage.
3) Read the discussion question in Before You Read part A and encourage the students to discuss it either in pairs or as a class.
4) Introduce the keywords from Before You Read part B. Give denitions of the words to the students and have them match the easier synonyms in the box with the sentences below. Quickly check them as a class, and then offer examples of the words in another context if possible. The objectives box above also lists other suggested vocabulary words that can be dened for the students, but when those are introduced is up to the teacher’s discretion.
5) Have the students ll i n the sentences with the keywords either individually, in pairs, or as a class. Check their answers to ensure comprehension.
Extra Idea for Vocabulary Practice (optiona l): Scramble for Words
Prepare small cardboard cards with the unit’s keywords, their meanings, and their synonyms. Half of the cards should have vocabulary words written on them, and half should have their meanings or synonyms written on them. Spread all the cards out on the oor and have a student come over and pick out two cards that match. After picking the cards out, have the student go up to the board and stick the two cards next to each other. Continue the activity until there are no cards left on the oor. Review the vocabulary words and their meanings or synonyms with the students after the activity is nished.

During Reading
1) Play the accompanying CD track for the students. Tell them to follow along i n the book as the native speaker reads the passage. If the class is advanced enough, ask basic comprehension questions about the topic, main idea, details, etc.
2) Read the title and subtitle together. Tell the students to keep them in mind while they read the passage themselves since the title and subtitle often contain the passage’s topic and/or main idea.
3) There are many ways to read a passage as a class, and different classes may respond better to different techniques. It is also good to use different techniques on different days to prevent too much routine. Some different ways to read through a passage are:
• Select students to read each paragraph aloud one at a ti me.
• Have the students take turns reading sentences in a predetermined pattern. • Have the students read up to three or four sentences before choosing the next reader.
• Have the entire class read a paragraph or the whole passage out loud together. • Read a paragraph or the passage yourself, but tell the students to say the next word out loud any time you pause mid-sentence.
• Read each sentence and have an individual student or the class repeat it back to you to practice reading pronunciation.
4) Whenever a keyword or phrase is read, have the students underline it. If time permits, ask one or more students for a quick summary of the word’s denition.
5) After each paragraph is read, ask the students what its main idea is and then direct them to the Paragraph Summary below the passage. Have them ll in the sentence summarizing that paragraph and quickly discuss why it is the paragraph’s most important information. If necessary, write the summary on the board as well and/ or explain why it is the best summary. Writing it on the board is useful since you will have a complete summary on the board for easy reference by the end of the passage.
After Reading
1) Ask the students what the main idea of the reading passage was. Since they will be doing more summaries of the information later, there is no need to go in depth into supporting details. If necessary, write the main idea on the board for future reference.
2) Read the Connect to Yourself question at the bottom of the second page of the reading passage. Have the students answer it using the information from the passage and/or their own personal experience to integrate what they have learned into their lives. Any answers or discussion should be encouraged.
3) Reading Comprehension
If you feel that the students have a good understanding of the passage or are at the level to answer the questions by themselves, have them complete the page on their own or with a par tner and check the answers as a class. However, if the students are at a lower level or cannot answer the questions easily, go through the page as a class. Read both the question and answer choices all together, and explain why the correct choice is the answer after the students have identied it. Explain what main idea, purpose, detail, and inference all mean as you do so.
4) Graphic Organizer
Explain how graphic organizers help show information from reading passages in a logical way. Put this unit’s graphic organizer on the board and go through it as a class so the students can process the ow of information better. Check the students’ answers before you move on.
5) Summary
Have the students complete the summary by lling i n the blanks either individually or in pairs. Refer them to their graphic organizers and any notes on the board for assistance. Another option is to ll in the summary all together as a class if students are struggling. Check the students’ answers before continuing.
Subject Link L9 • Teacher’s Guide 31 30
6) Vocabulary Test
This vocabulary test covers all of the keywords in the objectives box above, not just the ones in Before You Read. It is up to the teacher on when to go over these extra vocabulary words. Some possible places are: right after matching up the words in the Before You Read section, as they come up in the reading passage, or right before the Vocabulary Test itself. This has been left intentionally open ended to allow the teachers some exibility in their class plans.
Extra Idea (optional): And Now the News
Ask the students to pretend they are TV newscasters. Have each student read one paragraph from the passage. Encourage them to use expressive voices and gestures when reading. Afterward, take a vote to see who the students thought the best newscaster was.
Additional Writing and Speaking (optional)
Writing
Have the students answer the Connect to Yourself question either on spare paper or in the blank Memo section in the back of the workbook. Encourage them to write at least ve or six sentences using the information from the passage and their own experience. Then edit their responses and have the students present them at the front of the class.
Speaking
Write each keyword from the unit on a piece of paper and put it in a bowl or hat. Have each student draw out a keyword and use it in a sentence aloud. Encourage the students to use different sentence forms like declarative, imperative, interrogative, and exclamatory sentences. For vocabulary words that are verbs, ask the students to change their sentences into the past, present, and future tenses.

Chapter 1
REVIEW CLASS LESSON GUIDE
Objectives
1. Students will review the information from each lesson using the concept map. 2. Students will apply what has been learned about the chapter topic by completing a
project worksheet on it.
3. Students will practice the keywords that they have learned in this chapter.
LESSON GUIDE
Chapter 1 Wrap-up
1) Have the students turn to the Chapter 1 Wrap-up on p. 33. Remind them of the chapter’s topic (“Volcano”).
2) The idea of the concept map is to solidify all the information that the students have learned in whatever way the teacher prefers. One recommended way is to have the students brainstorm either individually or in pairs and write down any and all ideas that they remember from each lesson. Another way is to divide the class into four groups and have the groups review one lesson each and present it to the class. Your job is to facilitate the conversation in each group and answer any questions that come up. As each group or pair presents the ideas from their lesson, write them on the board for more effect. Also, encourage the students to use as many keywords as possible when they write or speak.
3) Once all the lessons have been reviewed by the students, split them into pairs and have them briey discuss what they learned from this chapter to connect each lesson’s ideas to the overall topic.
Chapter 1 Project Worksheet
1) Before class, download the Chapter 1 project worksheet from www.ibuildandgrow. com (“For Teachers”→ “Teaching Materials”→ “Reading” tab→ “Subject Link
9 Project Worksheet”). Make enough copies so that each student has their own worksheet.
2) The purpose of these project worksheets is to encourage the students to creatively make or do something related to the chapter topic. For Chapter 1, the end result will be a science report about a simple volcano experiment that each student can do. Have the students follow the steps on the worksheet to work their way up to the nished project. Offer advice and answer questions as needed. For lower levels, you may want to do the project yourself before class to show the students as an example.
3) After the students have nished their projects, have them briey present their worksheets to the rest of the class. This helps the students practice their spoken English and encourages them to share their creative ideas more freely.
Other Ideas and Activities
1) Any time l eft over in this review class may be used at the teacher’s discretion. One recommendation is to complete any lesson comprehension questions, vocabulary review, or workbook homework that the students have not nished already.
2) If the students have nished all their work, look through the “Extra Idea” and speaking activities suggested in each lesson and pick out one or two for the class to do. These are useful since they are fairly easy but still help the students practice their keywords, reading, and passage comprehension.

Step 1
Beginning – chased to Hawaii / settled on Mauna Loa Mountain Middle – turned into a spirit / return to the Big Island / go to Kauai
End – became attracted to her / had broken her promise / burn down Hi‘iaka’s grove
Step 2
Pele, goddess of re, made her older sister angr y and was chased to Hawaii. Pele settled on Mauna Loa Mountain on the Big Island. One day, Pele turned into a spirit and visited Kauai. She fell in love with Lohi‘au, but she had to return to the Big Island. She told Hi‘iaka to go to Kauai and bring Lohi‘au to her. Hi‘iaka promised to discourage Lohi‘au if he became attracted to her, and Pele promised not to destroy Hi‘iaka’s favorite grove. It took so long to bring Lohi‘au, that Pele thought Hi‘iaka had broken her promise. Pele was angry, so she sent a ood of lava to burn down Hi‘iaka’s grove and kill Lohi‘au. That’s why it was traditionally believed that Pele caused volcanic eruptions in Hawaii.

8. Some objects appear white because they reect all colors of light. 9. It bounces off, but does not scatter. Instead, it is reected at an equivalent angle and a mirror image is reected.
Graphic Organizer & Summary
Step 1
Absorption – takes light in / different colors of light
Reection – bounces off objects / a rough surface / a smooth surface Refraction – moves from air to water / has two par ts
Step 2
When light hits an object, the object can absorb the light, reect it, or refract it. When an object takes light in, it is called absorption. Different colors of light are absorbed by different objects. Reection takes place when light bounces off objects. When light hits a rough surface, it scatters. If light hits a smooth surface like glass or metal, it reects a mirror image. Light bends instead of bouncing if it passes from one substance to another. It can occur when li ght moves from air to water. It can make a solid object look like it has two parts because of refraction.
