__** Mini Lessons: **__ The Daily 5 consists of sessions where students choose what they will do from a list of 5 choices. In between sessions, the teacher holds a ten minute, whole class mini lesson to teach a reading strategy.

This lesson is not neccessarily a mini lesson, but you can take a longer lesson and break it apart. This lesson is a fun digital word detective lesson. It would be a great lesson to build on the "Expand Vocabulary" section of the Cafe chart.
