Play and dance to “The Wheels on the Bus | Fun Facts about the World” by Silly Pop. Settle students again. Say: Did you notice how we learned facts about different places from that song? Facts are information we know is true and can prove is true. OBJECTIVE Display objectives. Say: Today, we are listening to nonfiction texts, or stories. You may remember, nonfiction texts are how we learn through true information. You are showing me today that you can listen to nonfiction books. We are also practicing recalling facts, or remembering true information from a story. That’s our other objective today: I can comprehend and recall facts from a text.

Lead students through vocabulary exercises for recall. Point out “comprehend” was a word they learned last week.
