Lewis and Clark and Me : A Dog’s Tale Unit 1 Week 2

Genre – Historical Fantasy Historical Fantasy is based on real events in history but it is a story that could never really happen – in this case, because a dog can’t write.

Vocabulary Strategy – Word Endings Sometimes when you are reading, you may come across a word you don’t know. Look at the end of the word. Does it have –ed or – in? Put your finger over the –ed or –ing ending. Look at the base word. Do you know what the base word means? Try your meaning in the sentence. Does it make sense?

Comprehension Skill – Author’s Purpose (PIE) The author’s purpose is the reason or reasons the author has for writing. An author may write to persuade, to inform, to entertain, or to express ideas or feelings.

Comprehension Strategy – Answer Questions Good readers know where to look for the answers to questions. They know that sometimes the answer to a question is in one place. Other times it is in several places. They know that sometimes they must use what they’ve read plus what they know to answer a question. This is what you usually have to do to answer a question about the author’s purpose.
