Objectives: Students will recognize antonyms to help them determine the meaning and increase vocabulary. Students will recognize and read words, demonstrating knowledge of levels of specificity among words from a variety of categories. Patti Burroughs, Greensboro West Elementary

Students will recognize and read words that change f or fe to v in their plural forms. Students will recognize and spell words with the ending –tion. Students will understand the selection vocabulary before reading the story for the first time. Patti Burroughs, Greensboro West Elementary

Read the following words and tell me what they have in common. direction destruction starvation duration These words review the word ending –tion. Patti Burroughs, Greensboro West Elementary

Read the following sentence: I worked to help homeless animals. What would happen to the sentence if I replaced help with harm? The meaning of the sentence changes because help and harm are antonyms. Patti Burroughs, Greensboro West Elementary

Read the following sentence: Bright Morning, a fourteen-year- old Navaho girl, lives with her family in what is now Arizona. Using the word Arizona, what other words can we use in the sentence that is less specific or maybe more specific. United States Phoenix Patti Burroughs, Greensboro West Elementary

Read the following sentence: The leaves are gone from the trees. What are the two plural words in this sentence? leaves trees How were these plurals formed? Patti Burroughs, Greensboro West Elementary
