This reader gives information about the Special Olympics It explains how and when they were started and the events that are included It also provides stories of some of the intellectually disabled athletes who have competed SUMMARY LESSON VOCABULARY abdomen gait therapist artificial handicapped wheelchair INTRODUCE THE BOOK Discuss with students the title and author of Everybody Wins! The Story of Special Olympics Based on the title, ask students what kind of information they think this book will provide Ask students: Why you think everybody wins? What does that mean? INTRODUCE THE TITLE AND AUTHOR Ask students if anyone knows anything about the Special Olympics or if anyone knows someone who has competed in the Special Olympics Ask students if they know what the difference is between the Special Olympics and the traditional Olympics Ask: Why is it important for handicapped people to be able to compete for medals? GENERALIZE PREDICT READ THE BOOK Have students set a purpose for reading the story Ask students what they want to know after viewing the photos, reviewing the vocabulary, and skimming the other text features Record their ideas and ask them to remember their questions as they read SET PURPOSE Ask students to form three columns, labeled Predict, Justify, and Confirm In the first column, they should write their predictions about the book before reading For example, a student may predict the Special Olympics will get bigger or become more popular They justify that prediction by citing the head Special Olympics Hit Big Time or the graph on page Then, as they read, they should write down the details in the text that confirm their prediction (When the games started, 1000 people competed; in 2003, more than 6,000 people competed.) STRATEGY SUPPORT: PREDICT BUILD BACKGROUND Invite students to flip through the book, studying the photos, captions, and heads Ask students whether they notice anything different about the sporting events in the photos Ask: What types of emotions the people in the photos appear to be experiencing? What the captions tell you about what you’re about to read? PREVIEW/USE TEXT FEATURES Ask students to share home-language words that relate to the Special Olympics and intellectual and physical handicaps Ask them to look at the photos and use English words to describe the emotions on people’s faces or words that relate to being handicapped (for example, wheelchairs or artificial limbs in the photographs) 76 COMPREHENSION QUESTIONS Why did Eunice Kennedy Shriver start day camps for people with intellectual disabilities? (Possible response: She had a sister who was intellectually disabled and she wanted to help other disabled people.) PAGE PAGE 10 How did learning to run and, later, participating in the Special Olympics make Loretta Claiborne’s life better? (Possible response: She started running marathons, She won medals at the Games, she holds a record, she travels around the world as a spokesperson.) Support the generalization: Many people who compete in the Special Olympics overcome obstacles just to get there (Possible response: Five orphans from Afghanistan competed, even though their country was at war; Luis Canel couldn’t afford a bike, but eventually won medals for bike racing.) PAGES 12–14 Everybody Wins! 16917_LRD_TG_076-077 76 10/20/05 2:13:52 PM REVISIT THE BOOK READER RESPONSE Responses will vary Answers will vary but may include: Prediction: They thought they wouldn’t perform well Reason for Prediction: They only had one month to train and their government was not supportive of their efforts Possible responses: Hesitant means Gary is reluctant, unsure of what to make of the cheering Possible responses: They are happy; they get a sense of pride from it Discuss the graph on page with students Ask them: What does this graph tell you about the growth of the Special Olympics? How does the graph work? EXTEND UNDERSTANDING RESPONSE OPTIONS Have students imagine, or empathize with, what it would feel like to be one of the intellectually disabled athletes from Afghanistan Then, have them write a letter to one of the athletes saying how impressed they are with the athlete’s efforts to get to the Special Olympics Suggest to students that they think about what obstacles they might have overcome and what the motto “Let me win, but if I cannot win—let me be brave in the attempt” means WRITING SCIENCE CONNECTION Have students research intellectual disabilities and to find various diseases or occurrences that can cause them Once they have identified some causes, have them prepare a short report about what they found Skill Work TEACH/REVIEW VOCABULARY Review vocabulary words with students Read the definitions to the students and ask them to write down the correct vocabulary word Encourage students to use the words in a sentence You may even ask them to use all or some of the words in a short paragraph TARGET SKILL AND STRATEGY GENERALIZE Remind students that a generalization is a broad statement or rule that applies to many examples Explain to students that generalizations should be adequately supported by specific facts and logic Elicit from students faulty generalizations about handicapped or intellectually disabled people and ask them to explain why these conclusions are not adequately supported Suggest that, as they read, students write down supported generalizations that they find in the text Remind students that a prediction is what you think will happen in a story based on what you have read Encourage students to anticipate what will come next in the story as they read Remind them of your “building background” conversation, and explain that what they already know can help them in their reading Predicting also helps to generalize information PREDICT ADDITIONAL SKILL INSTRUCTION Ask students to think about why Cynthia Swain wrote Everybody Wins! Explain that Swain’s reason for writing the story is the author’s purpose Remind students that authors often write to persuade, inform, entertain, or express AUTHOR’S PURPOSE Everybody Wins! 16917_LRD_TG_076-077 77 77 10/20/05 2:13:53 PM Everybody Wins!
