Make Predictions
Comprehension
 Turn to Student Edition page 380.
 Good readers first look for clues in the words and pictures on
the page. Next they combine these clues with what they
know from real life. Then they continue reading to see if their
predictions are correct. If their predictions were incorrect or if
there is new information, good readers change their
predictions or make new ones.
 Now let’s read the selection title on page 381.
 Readers often can use a title to predict what a selection will
be about.
 From the title, I know that this selection will have to do with
space travel to Saturn. I am not sure exactly where “beyond”
is. But using what I already know helps me predict that the
journey also will be to places farther away than Saturn. When
I read the first sentence, I see that I am correct.
 Good readers check their predictions as they read and
change them when they need to.
 Complete the What I Learned column of the chart before
making predictions.
Listening Comprehension
 You will be listening to a nonfiction selection that
describes objects seen in space.
 What do you know about what we see in space?
 “Look! Up in the Sky!” is expository nonfiction that
gives information about a topic. When you listen to
expository nonfiction, you should listen to gain
information.
 From the title, I know that this selection has to do
with objects seen in the sky. I expect to learn facts
about objects seen in the nighttime sky such as the
moon and the stars.
 Good readers make predictions based on picture or
word clues along with what they already know as
they read. Good readers also revise their
predictions when they find new information.
Listening Comprehension
 During Reading:
 What do you think you will learn about next?
 Make predictions by combining word and picture
clues with what you already know about space.
 After Reading:
 Name different lights that can be seen in the sky.
 Stars, planets, galaxies, star clusters, nebulas,
comets, meteors, airplanes, satellites
 How can you tell the selection is expository
nonfiction?
Robust Vocabulary
 Stars are distinct, twinkly, unmoving points of
light.
 When there are several similar but separate
objects, the objects are said to be distinct.
 Would something that is distinct be easy or
hard to see?
 If the fuzzy object changes position slightly
form day to day, it could be a comet.
 When something happens slightly, you can
barely tell it happened.
 Would a flag be blown slightly by the wind or
by your breath?
Robust Vocabulary
 Outer space is so large, that its size could be
called infinite.
 When there is so much of something that it cannot
be measured, it is infinite.
 What could be infinite, love for a dog or a block of
wood?
 Voyager II has given scientists an expansive view
of Neptune.
 Something that is expansive covers a very large
area.
 What could be described as expansive, a palace
or a log cabin?
Grammar: Capitalization
• Every sentence begins with a capital letter.
Proper nouns that name a particular
person, place, or thing also begin with
capital letters.
• The first woman from the United States to
go into space was Sally Ride.
• The first letter is always a capital letter.
United States is a particular place. The first
word and every important word in the name
of a particular place begins with a capital
letter. Each word in a person’s name
begins with a capital letter.
Grammar: Capitalization
 Each sentence has one or more errors in capitalization.
Identify the words that need to be capitalized in each
sentence. Remember, the first word and proper nouns
should begin with a capital letter.
1. star charts will help you identify stars.
2. our galaxy, the milky way, gets its light from

Writing: Paragraph That Contrasts
• The paragraph we are going to read contrasts two types of
objects in space.
• Paragraph That Contrasts …
• Identifies two things being contrasted
• States the main idea
• The ideas in a paragraph that contrasts contain accurate
details that support the main idea and the sentences stay
focused on the topic.
• We are going to use information from the student writing
model to identify differences between asteroids and
comets. We will list them on the chart below.
Asteroids
Comets
Student Model: Paragraph That Contrasts
Asteroids and comets have some things in common,
and people often have trouble knowing which is which.
There are several differences, however, that will help
you tell apart these two bodies in space. First, these
objects are not made of the same materials. Asteroids
are made of rocks and metals, while comets consist of
ice and dust. Next, although both asteroids and
comets orbit the sun, the location of their orbits is
different. Asteroids usually are found in the Asteroid
Belt, which is between Jupiter and Mars. On the other
hand, most comets orbit far from this, moving through
the outermost and coldest parts of the solar system.
Finally, it should be no surprise that asteroids and
comets have different appearances and opportunities
for sightings. Asteroids do not form tails and usually
cannot be seen by the eye. Comets, however, may
form tails and sometimes can be see when they pass
closer to the sun. Knowing these simple facts can help
you know the differences between comets and
asteroids.
Writing
Writing Prompt:
Choose two objects that have
differences and create a list of these
differences.
Write about the differences between
what you see in the daytime sky and
what you see in the nighttime sky.
