Review Read the following…  Informational Text Structure…  Non-fiction selections are organized in such a way that they make sense to the reader.  Take a look at..  Problem/Solution – The author introduces and discusses a problem, explains it with facts and then offers solutions to the problem. – Remember when we read about the farm cats? Disney sneaking to buy land?  Now review…  Cause and Effect – the author describes an event then what caused the event and what followed (effects). Remember reading about the 8 th grade students who failed Science because they didn’t study or listen?  Last read over…  Description. In these texts, the author describes a topic through main ideas and details. #adele

Let’s Read!! Best friends are often alike in many ways, but they can also be very different. Mrs. Autry and Mrs. Horne met in 2000 at Mineral Springs Elementary school. They both taught 5 th grade there for 5 years. Neither one were married, but they both had fiancés. They both loved to sing, dance and rap, and quickly formed a rap/pop group called Salt and Pepper. Mrs. Horne liked to sing better than Mrs. Autry; Mrs. Autry had mad rap skills on the mic. A few years later Mrs. Horne had her first child, Jaden. Mrs. Autry loves Jaden just as much as Mrs. Horne. Fast forward to Both Mrs. Horne and Mrs. Autry teach at EFMS and have for 11 years. Mrs. Horne teaches Math and S.S. and Mrs. Autry…L.A. and S.S. They both teach 6 th and 7 th grade. Mrs. Horne now has 3 children, and, Mrs. Autry has none. They are both looking forward to the summer. Mrs. Autry looks forward to the beach and relaxing and spending time with her cats. Mrs. Horne looks forward to just chillin’ and staying away from cats! AHHCHOO!!!  What does this informational article “do”?

Which one??  Looking at your Informational Text chart, which structure does the previous text follow?

Compare and Contrast  The paragraph we just read is Compare and Contrast. This means…  What/who is being compared and contrasted? Mrs. Horne Mrs. Autry

Compare and Contrast  Your task…  Reread the article comparing Mrs. Horne and Mrs. Autry.  Locate the following and write them on separate sticky notes…  At least 3 similarities  At least 2 differences for Mrs. Horne  At least 2 differences for Mrs. Autry  Now, take your sticky notes and put them on your assigned venn diagram.

Compare and Contrast  Let’s do another example...  Turn to “Is That a Kangaroo?”  Now, decide what is being compared and contrasted.  Write each one of these on the foldable and “same” in the middle.  Now, reread the paragraph and find the facts about each one separate (contrast) and what they have the same (compare)!!  Once you have finished, bring me your notebook so I can check it! kangaroosamewallaby

Compare and Contrast– Legit Practice 1. Locate the article entitled, “Disney Mountains”. 2. This article is structured so that the author compares and contrasts 2 topics. 3. Your job is to… a. Read the article b. Decide what 2 things are being compared and contrasted. c. Write them on the foldable. d. Go back through and pick out the specifics… -what is the same (compare) -what is different (contrast) Space Mountain same Splash Mountain

Space Mountain

Splash Mountain

Review  Friday you completed activities that allowed you to explore Compare and Contrast.  These type of Informational Texts compare (similarities) and contrast (differences) 2 things or people.  You explored similarities and differences between Mrs. Autry and Mrs. Horne; Kangaroos and wallabies and 2 rides at Disney World.  This week, for H.W., you will read an informational article and compare and contrast what the author is writing about.  I will give you more information at the end of class!!!

Let’s Read!! My Saturday morning was crazy. I made an appointment for a 9:00 a.m. mani/pedi, and needed to wake up at 7:00 (so I would have time to wash my feet so the nail stylist wouldn’t pass out),but Friday night I accidently set my alarm clock for PM instead of AM!!! This caused me to wake up super late!!! When I looked at my phone and realized it was 8:40, I freaked out!!! I threw on some clothes and flip flops (of course my Rainbows) and ran out the door (No…I didn't wash my feet  ). I drove my car as fast as the law allowed all the while thinking about how late I was going to be AND about how stinky my feet probably were. When I pulled into the parking lot (on two wheels), everyone was outside and there were fire trucks all lined up in front of the building, and an ambulance. I jumped up and down to know I was not late!! Once all the drama ended, I sat down in the chair, at 9:10 on the dot, and soaked my feet while my fingernails were being painted!! (FYI…the stylist never smelled my feet because she had on a mask AND the fire and EMT where there because a new worker smelled too much polish and passed out.) What does this informational article “do”?

Which one??  Process of Elimination tells us it is…  Order and Sequence!!!  This means the author provides readers with events that are told in order. These can be instructions, steps in a process, or…  The text you read tells the order of my Saturday morning from 8:40-9:10.

 Review my morning.  I want you to illustrate my morning from the night before until when I was sitting in the chair getting pampered.  Make sure you number each box.  Each box must contain color, either in what you draw or the background.  You must also caption each box.  P.S. Be nice when you draw me!!! Your Task

Order/Sequence  Let’s do another example...  Turn to “Baby Kangaroos”!  Read the article.  What is the author sequencing…  The life of a kangaroo from birth till 8 months.  Now, look back at the article and number the baby’s life.  I’ve done 2 for you…  Hint…there are 5.  Now, write these on your foldable.  I’ve done the first 2 for you.  Now, you finish!!!  The last space will be blank.  Now, bring to be to check!! Baby climbs into his mother’s pouch Baby spends 5 or 6 months in the pouch

Order/Sequence– Legit Practice 1. Locate the article entitled, “Planning a Disney Trip”. 2. This article is structured so that it gives you how to plan a trip to Disney…step by step. 3. Your job is to… a. Read the article. b. Number the steps, on the article. c. Now, write each step on the foldable. d. Hint…there are 7 steps. (You will have one section left blank.)
