WORD WORK, DAY 1

Let’s start by looking at the STRUCTURE of these 2 poems. Remember, the structure of a poem is the way it is put together: it’s stanzas, its verses, and whether it has a rhyme scheme or not.

Stanza _______ a. each line of a poem, like a poem’s sentence

Verse _______ b. drying up, usually from lack of moisture

Shriveled ________ c. each “paragraph” of a poem, a collection of lines

READING DAY 3

The theme is the moral or message of the story or poem that can be applied in everyday life. The main idea is what the story is mainly about.

Read the following story:

Barry liked playing board games, but he hated losing. He hated losing so much that he would do whatever it took to win, even bending or breaking the rules. He'd steal money from the bank and hide it under the couch cushions. He'd skip spaces while he was moving around the board. He'd shortchange others money that they were owed and argue with them about it. Barry's techniques were effective. He did win most of the games that he played, but the people whom he played with were his friends and family, and it didn't take too long until they caught on to Barry's tricks. They tried to tell Barry to stop cheating. They said that the game wasn't any fun when he cheated, but he didn't listen. He continued with his treacherous style of gameplay, until nobody would play with him anymore. Barry may have won a lot of games, but at what cost?

WORD WORK, DAY 3

Use context clues to find the synonym for each vocabulary word from the story.

Treacherous= happy unfair clever

Shortchange= cheat make money donate

Techniques= things tactics cushions

WRITING DAY 3

What is the theme of the story? What happens in the story to lead you to believe this?

READING DAY 4

Read the following story about Sean.

It was Sean's first day at a new high school. Most of the students had been nice to him, until he got into gym class. The coach had assigned two captains, Mike and Malik, and they were picking teams from the boys in Sean's class. As Mike and Malik made their picks, it became pretty clear to Sean who was popular and who was not. Since Sean was short for his age, Mike and Malik just assumed that Sean could not play basketball. As Mike and Malik's choices dwindled, Sean still remained amongst an ever-slimming pool of struggling athletes. Now there were only two students left: Sean and another kid who seemed nice but was reading a book. Mike and Malik joked about who was going to get stuck with whom, and then Mike made his last pick. It was not Sean. Sean sighed and reluctantly joined Malik's team. As soon as the game began, Mike became aware of the error that he had made. Sean quickly stole the ball from him and ran it back for a layup. "The new kid got lucky," Mike remarked, but it soon became clear that Sean had more going for him than luck. What Sean lacked in height, he made up for in speed, and he continued to dominate the action on the court for the remainder of the game. With Sean's blazing speed and crazy crossovers, Malik's team devastated Mike's, and that was the only time that Sean would be the last pick at that high school.
