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.
