Phonemic Awareness

• Let’s look at page 220-221 in your Reading book

• How do you know the teacher is happy?• We could say “He is smiling” or we could put

the words He and is together to say “He’s smiling”.

• We call words such as he’s contractions.

Phonics: Contractions

We can put words together to make one word, a contraction.

he + is = he’s

A contraction is a short way of saying or writing two words as one. An apostrophe takes the place of the letters that are left out.

can + not = can’t she + will = she’llI + am = I’m it + is = it’s

Phonics: Contractions

When I see a contraction, I notice the two parts and read them together.

he’s

I can break the contraction back into it’s parts

he is

Text-Based Comprehension

• Remember our weekly concept is “Changing History”.

• Listen while I read a story about “Coretta Scott King”.

• When I read, I ask myself, What is the topic?• Then I ask myself, Why did the author write

this story?


• Authors write for different reasons. The reason is called the author’s purpose.

• Two purposes are to inform and to entertain.

• Good readers identify what the selection is about, called the topic, and the author’s purpose in writing about the topic.


• Turn to page EI2 in your Reading book.

• These pictures show examples of author’s purpose.

• What do you see in the first picture that tells you the author’s purpose is to inform?

Remember “Look at History”

What lessons from the past can we learn from history?

Build Oral LanguageListen while I read “Sky Boys”.

“So every morning before school you scour the streets for firewood, hunched down in an icy wind”

What does “you scour the street for firewood” mean?•What other words could we use in place of scour?•Why do you think the authors chose the word scour?

Turn to your partner and tell about a time you could not find something and had to search for it. Use the word scour to tell how you looked for the thing.

scour• scour

• scour means to go through in search of something.

• I scour the library for a good book to read.• They scour the crowd, looking for a friend.

• Act out scouring for something. Then use the word scour to describe what you are doing.

Concept Map• What does the song “Look at History” say is

significant about looking at history?• Sometimes people build or create things that

change history. What did the construction workers in “Sky Boys” build together?– Let’s add “People create and build things” and

“Construction workers build the Empire State Building” to the map.

• In yesterday’s story “Coretta Scott King,” Martin and Coretta worked together to help many people.– Let’s add those things to our concept map.

Media LiteracyPeople use a variety of media resources for the

purpose of getting information.

Sometimes we use media to entertain us and sometimes we use it to give us information.

Information can be presented through a variety of media sources, including newspapers, the Internet, radio, video, and television news.

We know that the purpose of media is to give information when it includes facts about a topic.

Media Literacy

If I want to read about John F. Kennedy, one of the Presidents of the United States, I know that I can find information about him using different kinds of media. I can go online, watch a film, or read a newspaper or magazine article about my topic, President Kennedy. I know that the purpose of the media source is to give information when it presents facts and true information.

Research and Inquiry: Synthesize

Sometimes I find a lot of information to answer my questions about a person when he or she was an adult. But I do not find information about when the person was growing up. That’s when I focus on the information that I can find. My time line can begin when the person was about twenty years old or maybe even later when the person was changing history. I look for sources showing the person at the right age in pictures. I also read headings to know what paragraphs are about. A heading is something printed at the top of a text’s chapter or other part.

• In addition to being very smart, Lincoln was known for his sense of humor. Once, one of Lincoln’s neighbors heard a lot of shouting in the street. He went to his door to see what was causing the racket. He saw Mr. Lincoln standing there with two boys and asked him what was the matter.

Genre: PoetryRemember that poetry is writing that has

carefully chosen words, arranged in lines or verses, that create an image or express thoughts and feelings.

The topic of a story, selection, or poem is what the text is about. The main idea is different than the topic. The main idea of a piece of writing is not who or what it’s about, but it is the point or ideas expressed about the topic.

Genre: PoetryThe title of the poem on pages 244-245 is “Lincoln,” so I

know the topic is Abraham Lincoln. What I don’t know until I continue reading is the main idea of the poem. When I look at the picture, I can see that the picture is of Lincoln as a young man reading by the fire. I will continue to read to find out more about the main idea of the poem.
