Reading Focus:
Questioning/Finding Evidence
What types of questioning did we
learn last week? Book or Head? and
“In the Book” Questioning:
1. Right There
2. Think and Search
Today we will explore the two types of:
“In my head” questioning.

Surprises
By Michael Priestly
My Turn!
• Why did Lin’s mother put the
canary next to Lin’s bed while he
slept? (Author and Me, On my
Own)
• What is the biggest surprise you
have ever received? (Author and
Me, On my Own)
• What do you think will happen to
Lin’s canary? (Author and Me, On
my Own) is this a prediction?
If it is in the book, cite your
evidence of where you found it.
Guided Practice
• Have you ever lost
something that meant a lot
to you? What happened?
(Author and Me, On my
Own)
• How do you think Lin’s mom
felt? (Author and Me, On my
Own)
If it is in the book, cite
your evidence of where
you found it.
If it is in the
book, cite
your
evidence of
where you
found it.
Paired Partners
• What else could Lin have done to find his canary? (Author and Me,
On my Own)
• Why do people throw pennies into fountains? (Author and Me, On
my Own)
Independently
• What would you write
if you were asked to
describe an amazing
event in your life?
(Author and Me, On
my Own)
• Which event in this
story did you find the
most surprising and
why? (Author and Me,
On my Own)
If it is in the book, cite
your evidence of where
you found it.

Being a Writer
• Unit 2 – Week 1 – Day 1
10:55 – 11:25
Revising Your Writing
• Secure all your belongings at your desk.
• Sit near your partner somewhere in the room
where you can both write and work,
preferable at desks.
• Today we are going to focus on more specific
ways to improve your writing.
Making
Improvements
• One way that you can improve your writing is
to avoid overused words.
– Let’s look and think about the word “Nice”. What
other words could we use to mean “Nice”?
• Verbs can also be replaced with more
interesting verbs.
– What interesting words can
you think of to replace “said”?
Making It Better
• Get out your drafts, sticky notes, and your
pencils.
• Reread your draft looking for the following
words. Every time you find one of them, mark
it with a sticky note labeled “replace”.
– Nice
– Said
More Improvements
• Reread your draft again. This time you are
looking for other overused words that you
might be able to replace with more interesting
ones. Mark these also with sticky notes that
say “replace”.
Share
• Who would like to share some of the words
they chose to replace?
• Why did you choose those words?
• What word could you substitute for that
word?
Watch and Learn
I have a nice dog named Rocky. He loves to lie in the sun. He loves to play. He
loves chasing the frisbee. Rocky loves most things, but there’s one thing that Rocky
really hates. He hates water. One day I was throwing the frisbee for him, and it
landed in a bush covered with little pink flowers. Rocky ran right in after it. The
flowers smelled like perfume. The bush was swarming with bees. “Oh no! Rocky!
Bees!” Rocky had already figured that out. He came, running out of the bush,
flickering his ears and tail, with the bees in hot pursuit. He ran straight into a nearby
pond. Splash! The bees hovered for a few more minutes and then flew away. Rocky
crawled out of the pond, dripping. I guess Rocky hates bees even more than he hates
water.
Your Task
• For the next 15 to 20 minutes work silently on
these tasks.
– Review the places you marked with self-stick
notes.
– Replace overused words with more interesting
ones.
– Remove the self-stick notes when you finish the
revision.
– If you finish before time is up, look for other
places to make the words more interesting.
Share Time
• How are you feeling about your revisions?
• Do you feel that your writing is improving?
Why or why not?

Cell Structure
& Function
http://koning.ecsu.ctstateu.edu/cell/cell.html
Cell Theory
• All living things are made up
of cells.
• Cells are the smallest working
units of all living things.
• All cells come from
preexisting cells through cell
division.
Definition of Cell
A cell is the smallest unit that is
capable of performing life
functions.
Examples of Cells
Amoeba Proteus
Plant Stem
Bacteria
Red Blood Cell
Nerve Cell
Eukaryotic Cells
• Contain organelles surrounded by membranes
• Most living organisms

Cell Parts
(Organelles)
Overview today – but be prepared, you will need
to know the cell organelles and their functions
Surrounding the Cell
Cell Membrane
• Outer membrane of cell
that controls movement
in and out of the cell
• Double layer
http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
Cell Wall
• Found in
plant cells &
bacteria
• Supports &
protects cells
http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
Inside the Cell
Nucleus
• It’s the “brain”
• Directs cell activities
• Separated from cytoplasm by nuclear
membrane
Chromosomes
• Holds all the
“information”
• In nucleus
• Made of DNA
• Contain instructions
for traits &
characteristics
http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
Cytoplasm
•
•
•
•
“cushions” all the parts of the cell
Gel-like mixture
Surrounded by cell membrane
Contains hereditary material
Mitochondria
• The “battery” or energy source
• Produces energy through
chemical reactions – breaking
down fats & carbohydrates
• Controls level of water and
other materials in cell
• Recycles and decomposes
proteins, fats, and
carbohydrates
http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
Vacuoles
• The “storage containers”
• Membrane-bound sacs
for storage, digestion,
and waste removal
• Contains water solution
• Help plants maintain
shape
http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
Chloroplast
• Makes plants “green”
• Usually found in plant
cells
• Contains green
chlorophyll
• Where
photosynthesis takes
place
