identify what in their writing the questions are referring to. Whenever possible,
discuss with students each question and have them provide examples from their
own work. Be sure to emphasize the key vocabulary as you review the questions,
and check for understanding. Then, have students rewrite their editorial in cursive,
making sure that they have corrected their work as necessary, and prepare an oral
presentation with visuals, if possible.
Practice Tactics
Have students open their Practice Book to page 52. Read the directions aloud
and have students read along with you. Explain the directions and model the activity.
Then, have students complete the pages as independent class work or homework.
Home Connection
Write the Key Vocabulary on the board randomly for students to alphabetize.
Distribute Blackline Masters 2a and 2b. If necessary, review with students
how to fold the sheet to create a booklet. Provide more folded sheets if
necessary. Ask students to complete the first page by writing their names,
date, My Dictionary, and subject area. Have them write the words on the
remaining pages in a column. Next, ask students to use their own words to
write definitions for each word. Have them check their work by looking up
the correct definitions in their dictionaries. Explain that they should read their
definitions to their parents or guardians. Remind them to return their booklets
to school. Retain them for future use.
