Word Work: Review

Learners can:

• use knowledge of word parts to create a word chain

• A word chain is a list of words that share similar parts. These parts are “linked together” in a diagram.

• In order to complete a word chain puzzle, you will be given several words with blanks and their definitions.

• Based on those definitions, you will need to figure out the word parts that are missing.

Word Chains

Labelling

Use the definitions provided and your knowledge of word parts to identify the parts that go in the blanks.

Definitions

-unable to be heard

-unable to be taken apart

-something built above something else

Reading: A New Arrival

Learners can:

• read and annotate poetry

• differentiate between similes and metaphors

• explain how word choice connects to other literary elements

• Writers use specific techniques to help readers take note of important relationships in their stories. One of these tools is juxtaposition.

• Juxtaposition is the placement of two opposite ideas or images next to each other to emphasize their similarities and differences. For example, good and evil or hero and villain

• Examples in "Surrender Tree"

  • Rosa vs Lieutenant Death

  • Peaceful Nature vs Intense Battles

  • Silvia's Feelings

Emphasizing Opposites

Multiple Select

Why do writers use juxtaposition?

• to reveal elements of characterization and setting

• to draw readers' attention to two opposing ideas or images

• to emphasize the similarities and differences between two ideas

• to showcase a specific theme they want the reader to understand

• Today, you will read and annotate a short introductory poem and pages 107 to 115.

• Make sure you are annotating as we read. You should write directly in your book, use sticky notes, or make notes in your digital text

• You can find an annotation guide on page 4 of today's edio lesson

• You can find the digital copy of the text on page 4 of today's edio lesson

First Read

Section 1: Pages 107-111

​On page 109, Rosa notes how stubborn Silvia is. She says, "I make her eat, sleep, rest. She resists."

Rosa also says, "She thinks she has no right to eat while so many others starve." What does that show you about Silvia's character?

​What are Silvia's first impressions of Rosa? Is this how you expected her to react?

​This page shows how Silvia meets José. Silvia instantly begs to meet Rosa. She claims that she already knows about the flowers, and she wants to be trained as a healer.

José accepts her, but he "sighs," showing that he is a little worried about adding "one more child" to the encampment.

Section 2: Pages 112-115

In this section, Silvia talks about her environment and seeing it through Rosa's eyes. Because Rosa has such an appreciation for nature and its resources, Silvia is starting to share this perspective too. This makes the poem feel very positive and appreciative in comparison to a number of the intense, sad poems earlier in the reading.

​On page 113, Rosa compares young people and old people. This is another example of juxtaposition. She also compares these groups to different kinds of wood. She says young people float along like balsa wood, but older people are like wood of the guayacán tree, solid and steady.

Do you think this is true? Why might Rosa make this comparison?

Writing: Write Your Script

Learners can:

• write a script for the PSA project

As you continue to draft your script, it is important to consider how the whole PSA project will be assessed. This rubric is split into the following six categories:

2. Content: the evidence, explanation, and counterargument

3. Word Choice and Style: transitions, tone, and modifiers

4. Conventions: writing in complete sentences with proper spelling, punctuation, and capitalization

5. MLA Format: in-text citations and the Works Cited page

6. Presentation: the slides' design, written content, and voice-over
