Ask: ¿Qué tipo de platos pueden preparar con las frutas que ven en la fotografía? Page 7: Explain to students that many people travel to the Dominican Republic to explore its intactas beaches.

Choices for Further Support • Fluency Invite students to choose a section of the text to read aloud to a partner. Suggest that they try reading a couple of pages with an expression they would use if they were telling a friend about a trip to the Dominican Republic. • Comprehension Based on your observations of the students’ reading and discussion, revisit parts of the text to clarify or extend comprehension. Remind students to go back to the text to support their ideas. • Phonics/Word Work Provide practice as needed with words and word parts, using examples from the text. Explain to students that some words contain the hard r sound (r, rr). Remind students that the r has a hard sound at the beginnig of words (República). The sound r can also be heard at the end of a word (honor) or between vowels (carretera). In the last case, the sound is written with double r. Write the following examples from the text on the board: aterrizar (page 3), arroz (page 13), restaurantes (page 13), color (page 5).

Writing about Reading Vocabulary Practice Have students complete the Vocabulario questions on Hoja reproducible 3.1.

Responding Have students use their Cuaderno del lector to complete the vocabulary activities on page 15. Remind them to answer the Word Teaser on page 16. (Answer: mirar)

Reading Nonfiction Nonfiction Features: Photos and Text Clues Remind students that nonfiction has many features to help readers find and understand important information. Photos and text clues are two of these features. Explain that photos often add information that is not in the text. Have students look again at the photo on page 8. Ask what information they can learn from the photo (cómo son algunas de las casas en la República Dominicana, cómo es un bosque tropical). Then have students choose another photo in the book and tell what they can learn from it. Text clues are another important source of information. They are verbal clues that signal importance, such as Algunas noches, Durante la temporada de lluvias, and El lado negativo. Have students find these text clues in the book and make a classroom chart. Suggest that students add text clues to the chart from their reading throughout the year.

Writing Prompt: Thinking About the Text Have students write a response to the prompt on page 6. Remind them that when they think about the text, they reflect back on the text. They should notice and evaluate language, genre, literary devices, and how the text is organized.

Assessment Prompts • What words on page 7 help the reader understand what intactas means? • What is the main purpose of the selection? • What can readers tell about the Dominican Republic from reading this selection?

Ahora visitemos un edificio interesante de Santo Domingo, construido en honor a Colón. Algunas noches, unas luces potentes que están en el edificio alumbran el cielo.
