Dear Teacher,
You asked, and we listened. Last school year, we received a lot of great feedback from teachers like you, via e-mails and phone calls, and in our spring survey. We took your ideas to heart and made some changes we think will make Scholastic News better than ever.
The biggest transformation is our Teacher’s Guide. We gave it a back-to-school makeover! Now, for each cover story, we’ll include a step-by-step lesson plan that targets a key reading skill, as well as close-reading questions that connect to the Common Core State Standards. We’ve also added Performance Tasks that are differentiated for higher- and lower-performing students. Some of those tasks will include bonus skills sheets that can be downloaded from our digital edition.
Speaking of our digital edition, the sidebar on the right shows the features you can expect to find online with each issue. If you haven’t visited our digital edition site before or forgot how to register, don’t worry. Turn to page 6 of this guide for easy-to-follow registration instructions.

u Skim and predict: Explain that informational text often includes text features, like maps. Review the text features as a class and make a prediction as to what you might learn about in this article.
3 skill Focus (Ri.3.5, Ri.3.7) using Text Features

feature.2. After reading the first paragraph of the article,
say: “The text tells me that baby turtles hatch in Florida and nearby states. I bet the map will show these places.”
3. Study the map with the class. Ask: “Why is the area around Florida highlighted in orange?” Guide students to answer the question by using the key.
4. Explain how using the text feature helped you. Say: “I wasn’t sure what the author was referring to by ‘nearby states.’ The map showed me that those states are Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina.”

The star-covered American flag
During the battle the night before, the light from the explosions “gave proof,” or let Key see, that the flag was still flying.
The verse ends with a question: Does the American flag still fly over the fort and our country? Key gives the answer in the next verse: Yes!
It’s early morning after the battle. Key is asking whether the American flag that he watched as the sun went down the night before is still flying.
Glossary
perilous: dangerous
ramparts: walls that protect a fort
gallantly streaming: waving in a heroic way
O say can you see, by the dawn’s early light, What so proudly we hailed,
at the twilight’s last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there,
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
