Monitor and Adjust Reading Speed
I want to stop here because I’m not sure that I
understand everything I have read so far. There
are some new words here and the text is about
something I am not very familiar with.
Let’s reread the page more slowly to make sure we
understand everything.
Girl Reading at a Table, 1934
Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881–1973)
Oil and enamel on canvas;

Asking Questions
•Why are there so many names in this paragraph?
•Who are these people and why are they so
important to Picasso?
•Good readers ask questions about what they read
in order to organize their thoughts and make sense
of what they read.
•Sometimes, rereading clarifies a confusing detail
or answers a question.
•Let’s reread this paragraph to see if we can find
the answers to our questions.
suffering severely
from hunger
a state or quality of
feeling at a particular
time
Something causing
a disagreement, argument,
or public dispute
a style of painting and sculpture
developed in the early 20th century
A way of doing
something
causing intense surprise,
disgust, horror, etc.
not having the illusion of
volume or depth
A three-dimensional form or
likeness sculpted, modeled,
carved, or cast in material such
as stone, clay, wood, or bronze
A structure, such as a building
or sculpture, erected
as a memorial
cut, shaped, etc.,
with a chisel
Monitor and Adjust Reading Speed
•I think there is a lot of information here.
• Maybe we should slow down and read again.
• We need to make sure that we understand what
cubism is and what Picasso did.
•Does anyone else see anything here that makes you
want to slow down?

unusual, or different

concepts of what is not actually

Monitor and Adjust Reading Speed
•How can these paintings both be pictures
of the same man?
•Let’s slowly reread the text and captions.
•Now, I see that the story explains that
Picasso could imagine things differently
from how they really looked.

of a place
Summarizing
•We’ve learned a lot about Picasso from reading
this selection. Who would like to summarize
what we have read?
•First, he painted pictures that looked like real
people.
•Then, he painted sad pictures all in blue.
•After the Blue Period, he used happier colors.
This was the Rose Period.
•Then he began to paint things in little boxes.
This kind of boxy painting is called “cubism”.
•Picasso was not afraid to use his imagination.

Day 5 General Review
Story questions:
• 1. Why did Picasso paint with blue for a while?

• 3. Why did many of Picasso's paintings look funny?
•
(He moved around the eyes, noses and chins)
• 4. What does a cubist painting look like?
•
(everything is broken up into little cubes)
• 5. How did Picasso change cubism over the years?
•
(He made his paintings more colorful and flatter-looking)
• The way we express our imagination may change depending on our
changing life circumstances. Use the pictures in the text to see how these
various styles appeared!

Science Connection
Eyes and Light
• Your eye has specialized cells (rods
•
•
•
and cones) that detect the intensity
(brightness) and color of visible light
photons. When one of these photons
enters your eye, these cells convert its
energy into a nerve signal that
registers in your brain.
So to see an object it must either:
1) Emit photons towards your eye;
(the Sun, a candle flame, a light bulb,
a TV).
2) Deflect photons towards your eye;
(the Moon, a dog, a plant, a
telephone).
.

Science Connection
Eyes and Light
• Only a small part to the spectrum is visible
to the human eye.
