3. 1. Content Mastery: Vowel Digraphs Vowel digraphs – Two vowels that go together to make one long vowel sound Examples: – Ai = long a sound – Ee = long e sound – Oa = long o sound Directions: – Write down only the vowel digraph on the line Only the two letters (vowels) that make up the vowel digraph

7. 3. Review: Prefixes A base word is a word that can stand alone and does not have a prefix or a suffix. A base word can be one or more syllables. – Example: Art, a/gree Prefixes and suffixes are affixes, meaningful word parts that can be added to base words. Prefixes are added to the beginnings of words and extend or modify the words’ meanings. – Example: Prefix + Base Word = New Word – Re + freeze = refreeze – Un + load = unload

8. 3. Introduction: Prefixes fore-, mid-, mis-, over- Meanings – Fore- : “before, in front of” – Mid-: “middle” – Mis-: “wrongly, badly, not” – Over-: “beyond, above, too much” Directions: – Circle the prefix – Underline the base word – Define the word using the meaning of the prefix as a guideline

17. 4. Review: Subject and Predicate A noun can be the subject in a sentence. The subject answers the question: – Who did it? or What did it? A verb can be the predicate in a sentences The predicate answers the question: – What did they (he, she it) do?

18. 4. Masterpiece Sentences: Stages 1-6 Follow along as we make GOOD solid sentences Please turn to hardcover page 16 Answer these questions, in this order 1.Who (what) did it? 2.What did they (he, she it) do? 3.What did he/she/it do it to? 4.Where? 5.When? 6.Which one? 7.What kind? *Then we have to re-arrange these to make a sentence*

19. 1. Who (what) did it? The girl 2. What did they (he/she/it) do? won This is a simple sentence with a simple subject and simple predicate.

20. 3. What did he/she/it do it to? a medal 4. Where? at the Olympic Games 5. When? in 1928 These questions help us expand the predicate.

21. 6. Which one? (girl) a 16-year old 7. What kind? (medal) gold These questions help us expand subject.

22. 4. Masterpiece Sentences: Stages 1-6 Arrange the answers to those questions to make a good complete sentence – Who (what) did it? A 16-year old girl – What did they (he/she/it) do? won – What did he/she/it do it to? a gold medal – Where? at the Olympic Games – When? in 1928

23. Original sentence: – The girl won. 4. Masterpiece Sentences: Stages 1-6 New sentence: – A 16-year old girl won a gold medal at the Olympic Games in 1928. Subject: girl Predicate: won

24. 5. Map It: Reasons Use your completed Map It handout for this next exercise You will work together, or alone, to paraphrase the information – Put it in your own words

25. 6. Write It: Reasons Paragraph Use your completed Map It handout to help you Please turn to workbook page 31 – Look at the reasons and the supporting details on your Map It handout – Read them and paraphrase them (put into your own words) – Once you have paraphrased it, write the reasons and the supporting details in a paragraph form

26. Workbook Page 31 Sample Response: One reason is that it uses improved materials. This technology uses glass fibers that carry light signals without ever slowing them down. A second reason is that light signals move much more rapidly than electricity. The glass fibers carry these signals, making them travel at the speed of light. A final reason is that fiber optics uses less space because the glass fibers are thinner than wire. More fibers fit in a cable, which allows more signals to be sent through the cable.

27. 6. Write It: Conclusion Sentence A conclusion sentence is the final statement in a reasons paragraph The easiest type of conclusion sentence is written by paraphrasing the topic sentence Topic Sentence: - Fiber optic technology is being used more and more.

28. 6. Write It: Conclusion Sentence Topic Sentence: - Fiber optic technology is being used more and more. Words that can be paraphrased

29. 6. Write It: Conclusion Sentence Please turn to workbook page 32 Follow the previous methods to paraphrase two or more words in the position statement Transfer the conclusion sentence to the end of your reason paragraph Revise or edit your paragraph as you feel needed

30. Workbook Page 32 Example:used utilized developed put into use more and more more often more frequently further and further Today, fiber optic technology is being put into use more frequently.
