Marven of the Great North Woods Compiled by Terry Sams PES & Latonia Wolfe DES Author: Kathryn Lasky Illustrated by: Kevin Hawkes

Study Skills Genre: Biography Comprehension Skill: Fact and Opinion Comprehension Strategy: Monitor and Fix up Comprehension Review Skill: Main Idea Vocabulary: Dictionary/Glossary

Genre: Biography A biography is a story of a real person’s life, written by another person. It is written in the third-person. The author writes, “He was free! He found a job with a printer.” A biography can cover a person’s whole life or part of it. An autobiography is also a story of a real person’s life, but it is written by the person.

Summary Marven was only ten years old when his great-aunt died of influenza. To protect him from the disease, his family sent him far away from the city, up to the Great North Woods. There he kept the books at a logging camp. Marven was scared of the big, grouchy lumberjacks, especially Jean Louis, a “jack” whose feet were as big as skillets. But he was even more scared when he skied into the woods-and thought he saw a grizzly bear.

Comprehension Skill Main Idea Main idea is an important point about the story’s topic Supporting details give more information about a main idea.

Comprehension Review Skill Fact and Opinion A statement of a fact can be proved true or false by looking in a reference book, asking an expert, or using your own knowledge and experience. A statement of opinion cannot be proved true or false. It is a belief or judgment. An opinion often contains words such as best, should, or beautiful. It may begin with words “In my opinion” or “I believe”.

Research/Study Skill – Graphs A graph shows data, or information, in visual form. The title and labels tell what information the graph shows and compares. A bar graph uses vertical or horizontal bars to compare data. A circle graph is a circle that shows how a whole is divided into parts.

Research/Study Skill – Graphs A line graph contains lines that connect a series of points. Line graphs often show changes over time. A picture graph, or pictograph, uses pictures to represent amounts. Let’s use practice book pages 89/90 to better understand graphs.

What is the value of a job well done? Question of the Week What is the value of a job well done?

Vocabulary Skill – Dictionary/Glossary Some words have more than one meaning. Sometimes readers need to check a dictionary or glossary to find the meaning that makes sense for the sentence.

Let’s Practice Dictionary/Glossary Skills te231 Please describe the steps you use to find the meaning of a word in a dictionary. Remember that some words have multiple meanings, and you must choose the meaning that makes sense for the context in which the word appears. Use a dictionary to determine the meaning for drifting as it is used on page 213.

Day 2 - Question of the Day What were working conditions like for Marven at the logging camp?

Comprehension Strategy Practice Monitor and Fix up If you don’t understand or remember what you have read, you may need to reread part of the selection more carefully or scan it to locate specific information. You may need to look for judgment words to help better identify facts and opinion. Let’s practice by rereading p. 227 paragraph 1 and distinguish between statements of fact and opinion.

Day 4 - Question of the Day How can you use e-mail to get information for school projects?

Review Pages 216 -224 Which job do you think would be more difficult for a ten-year old: keeping a payroll or waking the lumberjacks? Explain What causes Jean Louis to open one eye? What facts have you learned about lumberjacks and Marven’s work in the lumber camp?

Review Pages 226-233 1. Describe the steps Marven took to organize the chits? What are chits? 2. If Marven gave you his word that he would do something, would you trust him? Why or Why not? 3. How is this selection like other biographies you have read? How is it different?
