2 Maria Tallchief: American Ballerina by Miki Terasawa Build Background Help students use their knowledge of dance to visualize the biography. Build interest by asking questions such as the following: What makes ballet different from other kinds of dancing? How do you think it is different from traditional Native American dancing? Read the title and author and talk about the cover photograph. Explain that this book is a biography of the famous American ballerina Maria Tallchief. Ask students what kinds of information they might expect to find in a biography of a ballerina. Introduce the Text Guide students through the text, noting important ideas, and helping with unfamiliar language and vocabulary so they can read the text successfully. Here are some suggestions: Page 2: Have students read the heading and caption. Suggested language: Why do you think the book starts with a specifi c date? How does this show the importance of that date in Maria Tallchief s life or in her career as a ballerina? Pages 4 5: Have students read the heading and caption. Page 4 tells of Maria Tallchief s childhood. Call attention to the illustration. When Tallchief was a girl, it was against the law to wear Osage dress or join in gatherings called powwows. Unjust laws were leading toward the destruction of Osage culture. The Osage practiced their traditions in secret. Ask: How might seeing traditional Osage dances have infl uenced Tallchief in her career as a ballerina? Page 7: Why might someone enjoy an art like ballet, even though it required endless practice? Now turn back to the beginning of the book and read to fi nd out how Betty Marie Tall Chief became famous. Target Vocabulary background a person s heritage or experiences, p. 4 career a job that becomes a person s lifework, p. 2 destruction damage, ruin, p. 5 edition a printing or version of a publication formula a set of rules or steps to produce a desired result household the people who live together in a residence insights ideas about the true nature of a situation, p. 10 publication printed material for sale or distribution required something that is necessary or called for, p. 7 uneventful nothing of significance taking place 2 Lesson 18: Maria Tallchief: American Ballerina
3 Read Have students read silently while you listen to individual students read aloud. Support their understanding of the text as needed. Remind students to use the Analyze/Evaluate Strategy carefully about the text and forming an opinion about it. by thinking Discuss and Revisit the Text Personal Response Invite students to share their personal responses to the biography. Suggested language: How do you think Maria Tallchief felt after successfully performing The Firebird? Ways of Thinking As you discuss the text, help students understand these points: Thinking Within the Text Thinking Beyond the Text Thinking About the Text Tallchief s father was an Osage, and her childhood was spent on a reservation and then in Los Angeles. Tallchief had an excellent Russian teacher and practiced long hours to perfect her dancing. The choreographer George Balanchine focused public attention on Tallchief s talent. It is essential to maintain a positive attitude. Take advantage of every opportunity offered to you. Be proud of your heritage Fountas, I.C. & Pinnell, G.S. Teaching for Comprehending and Fluency, Heinemann, Portsmouth, N.H. Tallchief s biography is easy to follow because it is told in chronological order, with headings indicating major developments in her life and career. Close-up photos of Tallchief as a young and a mature woman and photos of her role in The Firebird help the reader connect with her as a person and visualize her dynamic appeal as a dancer. Choices for Further Support Fluency Invite students to choose a passage from the text to read aloud. Suggest that they try reading the passage as if they were the narrator in a TV documentary about Maria Tallchief. 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. Point out the differences in pronunciation for the letter g. On page 3, point out that the word great has the g sound and legendary has the j sound. On page 4, background has the g sound and Osage has the j sound. Ask students to identify the sound the g makes in the words Los Angeles and organized (p. 6). 3 Lesson 18: Maria Tallchief: American Ballerina
4 Writing about Reading Have students complete the questions on BLM Responding Have students complete the activities at the back of the book, using their Reader s Notebook. Use the instruction below as needed to reinforce or extend understanding of the comprehension skill. Target Comprehension Skill Fact and Opinion Remind students that in a biography they will read both facts and opinions about the subject of the book. How can they tell fact from opinion? A fact can be proved to be true. An opinion is what someone thinks or believes is true. Model how to add details to the Graphic Organizer, using a Think Aloud like the one below: Think Aloud The statement listed under Fact can be proven because dates and places of birth can be checked. What opinions does the author give about Maria Tallchief? Page 7 states that Betty Marie did not mind hard work. That may be true, but no one can prove how Betty Marie felt. So list that statement under Opinion in the chart. Practice the Skill Have students share an example of another book in which fact and opinion can be separated. Writing Prompt: Thinking Beyond the Text Have students write a response to the prompt on page 6. Remind them that when they think beyond the text, they use their personal knowledge to reach new understandings. Assessment Prompts How does the author organize the information about Tallchief s life in this book? What is the meaning of insight on page 10? Which sentences on page 8 show how Maria Tallchief felt about her Native American background? 4 Lesson 18: Maria Tallchief: American Ballerina

Remind them that Maria Tallchief had an excellent Russian teacher and practiced long hours to become a successful dancer.

Have them find context clues for the following words in the text: ballet (p. 2), reservation (p. 4), powwows (p. 5), and choreographer (p. 9).
