Read the passage below. Divide the run-on sentences. P.19

Babylon was a great city of the ancient world it was built about four thousand years ago and had many magnificent palaces and temples it stood on the banks of the Euphrates River near what is now the town of Al Hillah, Iraq long ago, when the king died, people began to leave eventually the beautiful city fell into ruins.

Read the passage below. Divide the very long sentence into shorter sentences. Look for words like and, so, and then to help

you divide it. P.19

In ancient times, kings ruled over many cities and the kings often tired to bring people from different cities together as one nation, but this didn’t usually work so the king of Babylon, Hummaurabi, made some special laws to try to keep all his people together, to create the Babylonian Empire and the laws were called the Code of Hammurabi and copies of this code still exist today.

Becoming a Writer!

Today’s Plan

• Hear and discuss a personal narrative

• Explore features of personal narratives

• Quick-write about interesting events

• Write freely about things that interest you

Notes About Personal Narratives

• Come to the carpet. Bring your pencil and writer’s notebook. Make sure you sit next to your new partner.

• Yesterday you heard “Never the Monkey,” a personal narrative by Jerry Spinelli.

• We are going to add notes today to our chart, “Notes About Personal Narratives” to help us understand more about personal narratives.


• A personal narrative tells a true story from the author’s own life. (Let’s add that to our chart.)

• We will continue adding to this chart as we discover more about what makes personal narratives different from other kinds of writing.

“Shortstop”

Today I will read you part of another personal narrative from Knots in My Yo-yo string. In “Shortstop” Jerry Spinelli writes about learning an important lesson. While listening to this story I want you to think about the important lesson that he learns.

“Shortstop”

• What event does Jerry Spinelli describe in this story?

• Let’s listen again to the passage on page 30: “I could hear the ball crunching along the sandy ground…the manager was waiting for me.” What do you see in yur mind when you hear this passage? – Turn and talk (person closest to the front of the room goes

irst.)


• In many personal narratives, including this one, the author tell about interesting events from his/her life and includes sensory details to help the reader see, hear, smell, taste, and feel what is happening.

• Let’s add “Sensory details to help the reader see, hear, smell, taste, and feel what’s happening.” to our chart, “Notes About Personal Narratives”.

Two Question to Think About• Jerry Spinelli writes about an interesting event that

happened to him when he was learning how to play baseball. What are some interesting events you could write about from your own life?

• Jerry Spinelli says he learned a lesson he never forgot from his manager. When did you learn something that you’ve never forgotten?

• Without talking, open your writer’s notebooks to the page titled “Ideas from My Own Life,” located in the ideas section, and add other interesting events from you own life that you could write about.

Independent Writing

• Return to your seats.

• For the next 20 to 30 minutes, write about either of the following.– Continue the writing you began in the quick write. – Write about something else that interest you.

Remember to double-space your writing.

Sharing and Reflecting

• Did you write about an interesting event from your life? Tell us about it.

• What other topics did you write about today? Tell us about them.

text features in pairs and as a class.

Review Student Booklet!

Notice photographs and caption

News articles often contain photographs

with captions and other features to help

the reader better understand the topic.

Scan the Student Booklet!

Think – Pair – Share • What text features do you notice?

Circle Graph Focus!

What is the title for the Circle Graph?

Circle Graphs and other graphs can

help readers understand pieces of information or data in a quick and easy

way.
