​Word Study

​Learners can:

• identify and read multisyllabic real words (decoding), including closed syllables

• identify, read, and spell words with the prefix inter-, suffix -ure, and Latin root ject

Open Ended

Read the words.

What is similar about the words?

Pay close attention to the syllable type.

You can start your answer with:

- The words are similar because . . .

Each word has one or more closed syllables since the vowels are closed in with a consonant. Some of the vowels are schwa sounds.

​

​Take a Closer Look!

Remember, when you divide words with closed syllables:

• mark the vowels and then the consonants between them;

• divide between the consonants; and

• keep any digraphs and consonant blends together.

Word Part Meanings

In a previous lesson, you learned about the meanings of the following word parts:

• prefix inter-

• suffix -ure

• Latin root ject

The prefix inter- means "between" or "among."

The suffix -ure means an "action" or "result."

The root word ject means "to throw" or "drive into."

Knowing the meaning of these word parts can help you understand the meaning of many words.

You should not interrupt people when they are talking.

The family took a picture to always remember the vacation.

He applied for the job, but was rejected.

Match

Read each sentence.

Match it to the correct word that completes it.

picture

rejected

interrupt

• picture

• rejected

• interrupt

When you can recognize syllable types within words, you can read multisyllabic words. When you are trying to read a word with many syllables, ask yourself:

• Are there open, closed, VCe, vowel team, vowel -r, or consonant -le syllables in the word?

This strategy will help you read the word accurately.

Vocabulary to Unlock the Text

Earlier, you learned the meaning of three important words from the text.

Press through the slides to learn about the vocabulary term “visible spectrum.”

To learn more about it, you will first understand what frequency and wavelength are.

Imagine light travels in wiggles, like a jump rope being shaken. These wiggles are called waves!

There are two cool ways to describe these light waves:

1. Wiggle Speed (Frequency): How fast the wave wiggles up and down. The faster the wiggles, the higher the frequency. Think of it like shaking the jump rope really fast!

2. Wiggle Distance (Wavelength): The space between two high points of the wiggle. It is like the distance between two peaks on the jump rope when it is shaking.

​

​Frequency and Wavelength

You can only see light within a certain range of wavelengths and frequency. This range is called the visible spectrum.

​

​The Visible Spectrum

The electromagnetic spectrum includes a wide range of light waves, some of which we cannot see.

Some of the non-visible types of waves are

1. radio waves;

2. microwaves;

3. infrared rays; and

4. X-rays.

These types of waves have different uses in science and technology.

​

​The Electromagnetic Spectrum

In the visible spectrum of light, the color of the light depends on the frequency. The visible spectrum is always the same for a rainbow or the separated light from a prism.

The order of colors is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet (ROY G BIV).

​

Color Order

Now, you will go back to the text, Life and the Flow of Energy, and find clues to answer some questions.

Take a closer look, and you will discover words or phrases that have multiple meanings. You may come across some unknown words.

Observe how the context clues are helpful while reading the paragraph.

​

​A Closer Look

Context clues help with finding the meaning of unknown words or phrases in a book or text. This is especially helpful if the word has multiple meanings, as the context clues can help you determine the correct one.

Some words have more than one meaning. This can make it tricky to determine the meaning. However, with careful reading and attention to the context clues, you can find the correct meaning.

​

​Context Clues

Context clues include:

• using prior knowledge, the information you already know;

• reading words and sentences around the word;

• using text features for more information; and

• looking for word parts such as base words, prefixes, and suffixes.

Read page 8 to identify key details, or supporting sentences, that will help you answer the question in the second paragraph of page 8.

Use evidence from the text to support your answer.

​

Why is gravity important?

You can reread the sidebar on page 9 to help you identify key details, or supporting sentences, that will help you answer the question.

Use evidence from the text to support your answer.

​

What is the outcome of the process of fusion?

The text says, “Plants have a special chemical compound called chlorophyll."

Reread page 10 to identify key details, or supporting sentences, that will help you answer the question.

Use evidence from the text to support your answer.

​

Why is chlorophyll important for plants?

​

Words can have more than one meaning. When you read, you may come to a word you know, but it does not make sense in the sentence. That is because some words have multiple meanings.

In order to figure out the correct meaning of the word in the sentence, you will need to use the context clues around the word.

​

Multiple Meaning Words

Read the paragraph below from Life and the Flow of Energy, page 10. Pay attention to the word “shoot.”

Multiple Choice

Read each sentence.

- The builder used a hammer and _____.

- I am going to get my _____ painted pink.

Choose the word whose meaning completes both sentences.

• nails

• hair

• chisel

Energy from the sun is important for life on Earth.

Recall that “the sun undergoes a process called fusion. Fusion releases a lot of energy.”
The sun gives light and heat.

Light and heat are both forms of energy.

Plants use this energy to grow.

Animals then get the energy they need by eating plants or other animals. This is demonstrated in food chains and food webs.

​

​Relationship Between the Sun and Energy

Reorder

Use the food chain to answer the question below.

Drag to correctly order the steps of the food chain.

• The sun produces light and heat energy, which is transferred to plants.

• Plants convert light energy from the sun into stored energy by a process called photosynthesis.

• The rabbit eats the grass so the energy is transferred from the grass to the rabbit.

• The eagle eats the rabbit so the energy is transferred from the rabbit to the eagle.

Writing: Developing the Topic (Day 1)

Learners Can:

• identify proper use of quotation marks for word references (quotes)

• develop the topic with facts, definitions, concrete details, quotations, or other information and examples related to the topic; include illustrations and multimedia when useful to aiding comprehension

• use precise language and domain-specific vocabulary to inform about or explain a topic

Discover

​Quotation Marks

Quotations (or quotes) are words from someone else that you include in your writing to support your ideas. You put quotation marks around these words to show they are not your own words. They could be words or phrases that someone said in a book, during a conversation, or in an interview.

Quotation marks show exactly what someone else said in your writing. They can go at the beginning, middle, or end of a sentence.

​Quotation Marks

Where to Add Quotation Marks

When you write a quote, you write quotation marks before the start of the sentence and after the ending punctuation.

For example:

“It has no declaration of rights!" cried George Mason of Virginia.

In the example, quotation marks come before the word “It" because that is the first word in the sentence.

Also, the second set of quotation marks comes after the “!" in the sentence because that is the end of the quote.

Capitalize the First Word of the Quote

We start a quote with a capital letter because it is like the beginning of a new sentence. When someone starts talking, we want to show that by using a capital letter at the start of their words.

In this example, the word “It" is capitalized because it is the first word in the quotation.

Punctuation Marks Appear at the End

When you quote someone, you include all the punctuation marks they used to show exactly how they said it.

In the example here, an exclamation point comes at the end of the quotation to show the emphasis George Mason of Virginia expressed in his statement.

Dialogue Tags

Lastly, always include a dialogue tag to give credit to the person who spoke the words.

In the example here, the dialogue tag “cried George Mason of Virginia" is used to attribute the spoken words to George Mason. It indicates that George Mason is the one speaking those words, providing context and clarity to the reader.

Multiple Choice

You have now seen how authors use quotation marks to support their ideas. Use what you know to identify sentences that use quotations correctly.

Read the sentence.

"I have a dream," Martin Luther King Jr. wrote in his famous speech.

Are the quotation marks written correctly?

Select the correct answer.

• Yes, this sentence uses quotation marks correctly.

• No, this sentence does not start the quotation with a capital letter.

• No, this sentence does not give credit to the person who used these words.

Next, you will dive into making your writing more interesting by developing your topic and using topic-specific terminology, which are special words related to a specific subject, to communicate clearly.

​
Authors use different strategies to strengthen their writing. This means finding ways to add more details and make your writing really stand out.

Developing Your Topic

​Using a definition makes your topic clearer by explaining what a word means. This helps your readers understand what you are writing about.

For example:

“Using a strategy helps you to be a strong writer. A strategy is a plan for doing something.”

Adding the definition of a strategy provides important details that help make your writing clearer.

Definitions

Using a concrete example makes your topic clearer by providing specific details or examples that make it easier to understand. Concrete examples give specific information that makes your writing clearer and more understandable.

​​Concrete Examples

Using illustrations in your writing helps make your topic clearer by showing pictures that help readers understand. This helps readers picture what you are talking about. Illustrations give visual clues that make your writing easier to understand and more interesting.

Illustrations

​Ways to Strengthen Your Writing

Authors use specific words about a topic to make their writing more interesting and clear, showing their knowledge.

In this example, the author uses the words Continental Congress in bold letters to highlight its importance.

Fact: The Continental Congress, a group of people, played an important role in forming our first government.

Show Knowledge

Authors sometimes use special words to explain big ideas and make you feel certain feelings.

Here, the author uses the term "slavery" to describe a time when some people were treated very unfairly and made to work without pay. They bring it up because it was an important issue when the Declaration of Independence was written.

Share Important Ideas
