(sung to “The Mulberry Bush”) Let’s learn a song together!
Day 1: Grammar Objective- Students will identify sentence fragments and use complete sentences Parts of a Sentence (sung to “The Mulberry Bush”) Chorus: In a sentence, you will get a subject and a predicate. A subject and a predicate, join to make a sentence. Let’s learn a song together! A predicate includes a verb, that tells of the subject in one or more words: The noisy crowd could be heard. could be heard is the predicate. A subject has a pronoun or noun, that tells who the sentence is about: The happy crowd began to shout. The happy crowd is the subject.

SENTENCE FRAGMENTS It is a SENTENCE FRAGMENT
If a sentence does not contain BOTH a SUBJECT and a PREDICATE It is a SENTENCE FRAGMENT We NEVER USE SENTENCE FRAGMENTS when we write!

Juan ran around the track in record time
Juan ran around the track in record time. Is a COMPLETE SENTENCE because it has both a SUBJECT (Juan) Who or what and a PREDICATE (ran around the track in record time) Did what?

Swam in the pool. Is a SENTENCE FRAGMENT because A SUBJECT IS MISSING It does not tell us WHO or WHAT swam in the pool.

DAY 1: Read Aloud POEMS… are written in verse
Objectives: Students will listen critically to oral communication. Students will respond appropriately to oral communication. We are going to listen to a poem about friendship. POEMS… are written in verse may repeat words or phrases often include rhythm and rhyming words

Read Aloud When listening to a poem, enjoy the rhythm and the rhyme, and try to understand the poem’s message. GOOD READERS… “Set a purpose for reading.” I’ll listen to this poem to understand the poet’s message.

“Read each word accurately when reading aloud.”
Read Aloud GOOD READERS… “Read each word accurately when reading aloud.” Follow along as I read the poem aloud.

Be a friend. You don’t need money; Just a disposition sunny; Just the wish to help another Get along some way or other; Just a kindly hand extended Out to one who’s unbefriended; 1 Just the will to give or lend, This will make you someone’s friend. To befriend someone means to act as a friend to that person. An unbefriended person has no friends.

Be a friend. You don’t need glory. Friendship is a simple story.
Pass by trifling errors blindly, 2 Gaze on honest effort kindly, Cheer the youth who’s bravely trying, Pity him who’s sadly sighing; Just a little labor spend On the duties of a friend. 2. A trifling error is a small mistake. How does the poet advise the reader to deal with their friends’ mistakes?

Be a friend. The pay is bigger (Though not written by a figure) 3 Than is earned by people clever In what’s merely self-endeavor. You’ll have friends instead of neighbors For the profits of your labors; You’ll be richer in the end Than a prince, if you’re a friend. 3. What does the poet mean when he says that the pay that a friend gets is “not written by a figure”?

What is the poet’s message?
You get a lot by being a friend!

Friends care about you, while neighbors may not.
Why might it be better to have friends instead of just having neighbors? Friends care about you, while neighbors may not.

Focus Skill: Character’s Traits and Motivations Objectives: Students will analyze character’s traits and motivations. Students will make inferences regarding a character’s traits, motivations, and actions.

Characters Characters are the people or animals in a story.
Character’s Traits and Motivations A story is made up of characters, a setting, and plot events. Characters Characters are the people or animals in a story. Characters have reasons for acting as they do.

Character’s Traits and Motivations
A character’s traits show what he or she is like. A reader can tell what kind of person a character is by thinking about his or her traits.

Motivations are the reasons a character acts a certain way. Sometimes authors state a character’s motivations; other times readers must use what the character says, does, and thinks to figure out the character’s motivations.

Character’s Traits and Motivations “Thinking about a character’s traits and motivations will help you figure out why a character took a certain action in the story.” Character Traits Motivations Actions

Character’s Traits and Motivations Page 23
Character: James Traits: bragging, jealous Motivations: James wants to win at the science fair. Actions: James tells Paul his project is boring. James brags about his science project. When James realizes that Paul’s project is better than his, he tries to persuade Paul not to enter the science fair. James's bragging shows that he is boastful. What he says to Paul shows that he is jealous.

Character’s Traits and Motivations Page 23
Do you think James really believes that model solar systems are boring? Why does James say it is boring? The reason (motivation) James told Paul that his project was boring, was because James wanted to win the science fair. James didn’t want Paul to enter the contest!

Practice and apply to your real life: Think about the kinds of things people say or do when they are boastful or jealous. What are their reasons (motivations) for their actions?

Use Story Structure Focus Skill: Lesson 1

Lesson1: Hot and Cold Summer.
Objective: To recognize distinguishing features of realistic fiction. Before we read let’s talk about the GENRE Of our story.

Genre: Realistic Fiction
hey GOOD READERS… Make predictions, or “guesses” about what the text will be about. We can make predictions, and preview the story by reading the title, and the introduction on page 27. Let’s read together! What do you think might happen in the story? We can use our predictions to help us set a purpose, or “reason” to read this story because… GOOD READERS… Set a purpose, or “reason” for reading. Based on what we previewed of the story: I know the introduction is about friendship. In real life, friendships can change. One purpose for reading is to find out if Rory, Derek, and Bolivia’s friendship will change when Derek returns from camp. Genre: Realistic Fiction Read the genre information on page 26 to yourself, in a “whisper voice.” Realistic fiction stories have… a setting that is a real place. characters that are just like real people. events that could really happen. They are made up stories, that seem like they could happen in real life! Take out Practice Book Page 2, and fill out the story map as we read … Comprehension Strategy: “Use Story Structure” Story Map As we read, we will fill out our story map. This will help us keep track of the characters, setting, and plot events. This will help us remember, or “comprehend” what we read. Setting Characters Plot Events

Example: When writing about the contest, Don’t write: “Bolivia ate a carrot stick. Derek finished his first slice. Derek picked up his second slice. Rory picked up his second slice. Bolivia ate a celery stick.” Instead, tell about the main events in one or two sentences!

Speaking and Listening
Objectives: Students will introduce and describe a character, and they will use details to explain what a character is like. Students will also understand a character description presented orally. In small groups this week, we completed a Character description. Now, we are going to work on giving an oral presentation. I am going to assign each of you a partner. You will magically transform into the character that you chose to write about. You are going to introduce each other to the class, as if you are the characters in your descriptions.

Speaking and Listening
Introducing a Character: I will give each of you some note cards. On each card, write each trait you wish to describe, and the words or actions of the character that describe this trait. Organize the note cards in a logical way. First card should be your character introduction sentence… Such as: “I would like to introduce ____________.” Last card should be a conclusion sentence… Such as: “Let’s give__________ a round of applause for visiting us.” .

Character’s Traits and Motivations Here is an example from our story We did this together! What can you tell about Rory’s mother, based on what she does and says? (What are her traits, based on what she does and says?) She is thoughtful because she orders the children pizza. She is a little strict because she said one pizza is enough. She is fair because she doesn’t scold Bolivia. Make sure you give reason (details from the story), as to why you chose these traits.

Speaking Strategies Speak slowly, clearly, and loudly enough so that everyone in the room can hear you. Make eye contact with your audience Use gestures to help you introduce your character and tell what he or she is like.

Listening Strategies Focus on the speaker so you do not get distracted. Sit quietly and listen attentively to the speaker. Wait until the speaker has finished before asking questions. Ask questions to clarify anything you did not understand.
