WRITING STRATEGIES
Student Book page 125: Read the directions aloud with the class. Remind students
that words that start with
dis-
usually mean
the opposite of
what they would mean
when you take the
dis-
away. Use the words
disagree
and
agree
as an example.
Have students consider times they disagreed with someone and how they tried to
make that person agree with them. Ask students to write in complete sentences,
using as many words as possible from the Focusing activity in their writing. Have
students share their writing with the class.
Vocabular y Review
VOCABULARY DEVELOPMENT
Divide the class into two groups. Have one group brainstorm words that start
with
re-
and have the other group brainstrom words that start with
un-
. After ten
minutes, have each group count the number of words they created. Then, ask
each group to create sentences for five of their words. Have each group share their
work with the class.
Practice Tactics
Have students open their Practice Book to page 48. Read the directions aloud
and have students read along with you. Explain the directions and model the activity.
Then, have students complete the page as independent class work or homework.

their imagination in their writing. Ask
If
you were a character in a book or movie,
who would you be and what would you
do?
Have students respond by writing three
paragraphs using descriptive words and their
imagination.
