Comprehension Plot: Conflict & Resolution The plot of a story is the series of events that make up a story. The plot usually contains a conflict, or problem, that the main character must solve. The end of the story usually presents a resolution, or solution, to the problem.

Good Readers… We will practice this strategy as we read. We will create a anchor chart to help us remember what good readers do when they read.

astonished Astonished is feeling or showing great surprise or wonder.

bulging Bulging is to stick out in a rounded lump; to be completely filled with something.

squelched Squelched means to stop something from continuing by doing or saying something.

anxiously Anxiously is to be afraid or nervous especially about what may happen; feeling anxiety.

Compound Subjects and Predicates Simple sentences that have the same predicate can be combined to make one sentence with a compound subject. A compound subject is made up of two or more subjects joined by a coordinating conjunction, such as and or or. Ex. Ben is feeding the chickens. His younger brother is feeding the chickens. Ben and his younger brother are feeding the chickens.

If there are three or more subjects in a compound subject, use commas to separate them. Ex. Tran won a medal at the soccer competition. Lin and Roberto won medals at the soccer competition. Tran, Lin, and Roberto won medals at the soccer competition. A compound predicate is made up of two or more predicates. The predicates are joined by a coordinating conjunction, such as and, but, or or.

Each predicate has the same subject. Use commas to separate three or more predicates in a compound predicate. Ex. Peter fed the chickens. Peter milked the cows. Peter fed the chickens and milked the cows.

Prefixes, Suffixes, and Roots A root is the basic part of a word that gives the word its meaning. Some roots need other word parts to form a whole word. A root that can stand on its own is called a root word. A prefix is a word that is added to the beginning of a root.

Ex. pre- (“before”) re- (“back” or “again”) in- (“not”) dis- (“not”) A suffix is a word part that is added to the end of a root. Ex. –less (“without”) –ful (“full of”) –ness (“the state or quality of being”) –ible, -able (“able to be”) Roots (with Prefixes or Suffixes) Ex. vis (“to see”) visible aud (“to hear”) audible dict (“to say”)

Writing Prompt Everyone has seen an animal in its natural environment. Think of a time you saw an animal in its natural environment. Now, write a paragraph that describes what you saw.
