Set a Purpose for Reading
Have students list news events they recall from 2022. Invite them to vote on which ones they would include in a summary of the year, and explain that they’re about to read a summary put together by the Scholastic News editors.
2. Close-Reading Questions
1. What are three facts you can learn about the British monarchy from the section “A Royal Farewell”? Sample response: From this section, you can learn that the British monarch can be a king or queen, that the role is passed down in a certain family, and that the monarch rules over all of the United Kingdom—England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
(RI.4.1 TEXT EVIDENCE)
2. Choose one person named in the article. Explain why this person made headlines in 2022. Sample response: Ketanji Brown Jackson made headlines in 2022 because she became the first Black female justice, or judge, on the U.S. Supreme Court.
(RI.4.2 KEY DETAILS)
3. Why do you think the author writes that Hurricane Ian “slammed into” Florida? What does this phrase tell you about the storm? The author uses the phrase “slammed into” to show that Hurricane Ian made landfall in Florida with a lot of force. The hurricane had very strong winds and heavy rain.
(L.4.5 FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE)
3. Skill Building
FEATURED SKILL:Writing
Use the Skill Builder “Choose Three” to have students complete informative, opinion, and narrative writing tasks.
(W.4.10 WRITING FOR A RANGE OF TASKS)
Differentiate & Extend
Multilingual Learners
Point out the phrase “hit it big” in the section of the article about Harry Styles. Guide students to understand that this phrase means to become very popular or well-known.
Striving Readers
The article defines two Words to Know, but readers may encounter other words they find challenging. Have them circle or list such words. Discuss the meanings together.
Writing Extension
Have each student choose an additional news event from 2022 and write a brief summary of it. Post students’ work on a year-in-review bulletin board.
