Objectives You will identify derivatives that build on root words with the suffixes –tion, -ing, and –or. You will recognize and read blends of consonants with the letter r at the beginnings of words. You will also recognize and read words with different spelling of the /er/ sound and with the /a/ sound spelled a. Finally, you will develop fluency reading words and sentences aloud. Let’s begin!

Word Knowledge Compete competitor competition competing

What do these words have in common?
Compete competitor competition competing The words include the root word compete and some of it’s derivatives. What does compete mean? It means, “to try to win or gain something from another or others.” Can I get you students to look the work up in your glossary? How does the word’s origin compare with it’s meaning today? What are the suffixes of compete used above and what do they mean? -or (or –er) means doer, maker, or resident. The suffix –tion (or-son) means action, state, or result. The ending –ing is used to form nouns of verbs, or to denote an action. Can you think of other words that take these suffixes? Elect, elector, election, electing What is the root word and what are the meaning of the words?

They alert students who are reading the text for the first time to the important ideas in their reading. Guided Practice – find and write the subheads in “Medicine: Past and Present” Independent Practice: In your social studies book Chapter 3 find the subheads and summarize the section under each heading.

Reading and Responding (day 4)
Meet the Author/Illustrator Johanna Hurwitz knew she wanted to be a writer from the time she was ten years old, but she didn’t have a book published until she was in her thirties. What does that tell you about her? Johanna Hurwitz said,”It seems all my fiction has grown out of real life experiences.” In what ways could writing from her own experiences make her a better writer? Richard Hull worked as an art director with a magazine before becoming a teacher or illustration. How do you think these different experiences have helped him to illustrate a story?

Literary Elements Day 4 TG p. 33E
Character Analysis (How did the author make the characters seem real?) Johanna Hurwitz (the author) made the characters seem real by describing their traits, motivation, conflicts, and changes they undergo. These are depicted through: -What the character thinks or says, -What the character does, and why she or he does it, -what other characters say about the character. Guided Practice: What do the following passages reveal about Julio’s character? -Page 20: “At lunch, Cricket took out a bag of miniature chocolate bards and gave them out to her classmates. Julio took his and ate it. But it didn’t mean he was going to vote for Cricket. (Indicates viewpoint: Julio does not think that receiving chocolate from Cricket is reason enough to vote for her.)

What do the following passages reveal about Julio’s character? Page 21: “Julio wasn’t very good at making posters, as Cricket and Zoe were, but he was determined to help his friend.” (Indicates trait: Julio is loyal.) -Page 24: “Julio took a deep breath. If Cricket or Lucas wasnot going to talk, he would have to do it.” (Indicates omtivation and conflict: Julio takes charge of the situation so the problem can be solved) -Page 30: “’He is tops,’ said Arthur. ‘He’s tops in my book.’” (indicates relationship: Julio is respected by his classmates.)

Analyzes other characters from The Class President. Compare the character with other characters or people you know. For example, the contrast between Cricket and Julio create conflict through which the author’s ideas about communication are created. Analyzes how different characters change over the course of the story.

Supporting the Investigation p.223D writing
Time Lines – time lines are graphic devices on which important events are shown in chronological order on a line. Each dot on the time line represents a date. Each dot represents a single event. A time line usually has a title that indicates the type of information that is shown on the time line. Events listed on the time line are from left to right in the order of their occurrence. The earliest event appears at the far left. A timeline can be made for any set of events; however, time lines usually show meaningful relationships between events The events on your time line should be relevant to the question or problem that he or she is investigating. Minor details and unimportant events should be ignored. Guided Practice Using the time line on the board , chart the events of the selection in chronological order. Independent Practice – Inquiry Journal pp 64-65

English Language Convention Day 4 TG 35I listen/Speak 1.3
Understanding what we hear One reason for listening well is to make informed judgments based on what we’ve heard. To be a good listener, we need to: Make eye contact, and face the speaker in order to give him/her your attention. We should also pay attention, concentrate on what is being said and try not to be distracted. We learn information from many different sources: songs, poetry, newspaper articles,… If we listen carefully, we can learn a lot of different information. The information we learn allows us to form our own ideas or judgments. Listening well allows us to make informed judgments.

English Language Convention Day 4 TG 35I listen/Speak 1.3

Writing Process Strategies: Day 4 TG 35I Writing 1.0
Decisions before Writing Remember an experience you had in which you felt strong emotion. Which writing form would work best? (Personal narrative) It is a true story about something that happened in your life. Let’s read Language Arts Handbook, pages for more information. Now, lets imagine that Cricket wants to write about her experience of running for class president. She would probably want to write about her events during her campaign, the election itself, and the outcome. Complete the chain of events chart (Language Arts Transparency 4).
