  22. Language Skills Writing Prompt Describe a time when you achieved a goal that was important to you. Use precise nouns, strong action verbs, and vivid adjectives to tell how you accomplished your goal. Use language that appeals to the senses.

  23. Language Skills • Editing/Revising Checklist • Do precise words create pictures for readers? • Have I used sensory details to involve the reader? • Have I used who and whom correctly as subjects and objects? • Are words with negative prefixes, il-, in-, im-, and ir- spelled correctly?

  24. Activate Prior Knowledge Gymnastics K W L Gymnastics is a difficult sport. What does it take to be a gymnast? Why would someone want to be a gymnast? It takes a lot of practice.

  25. Draw Conclusions: A conclusion is a sensible decision you make after you think about facts or details that you read. Drawing conclusions may also be called making inferences. Use your prior knowledge to help you draw conclusions. What does the text say? What can I conclude? What do I already know?

  26. Visualize Active readers visualize as they read. They make pictures in their mind. Visualizing can help you understand what is happening in what you read. It can also help you draw conclusions about what is happening and why.

  27. Write: Read “How to Do a Cartwheel.” Use a graphic organizer like the one above to draw a conclusion about which way to start a cartwheel. Describe how to do a handstand, a somersault, or some other action without naming it. Exchange papers with a classmate. Try to visualize and draw a conclusion about what your classmate is describing.

  40. Practice Lesson Vocabulary: True or False Gymnastics is easy to learn. Cartwheels don’t involve using your hands. Someone would be wincing in pain if he had fallen off his bike. Fill in the blank. As he walked in the slippers, Gary’s feet were _______________. Gary’s ankles turned ________________ in color. Gary’s first _____________made him feel a little dizzy. Issac loved the ______________________, so he looked around for an audience. Gary was nervous, but he finally tried a back flip after much _________________.

  41. Vocabulary Strategy: Suffixes: -ion, -ish, -tion A suffix is a syllable added to the end of a base word that changes the base word’s meaning. The spelling of the base word may also change when the suffix is added. For example, when the suffix –ion is added to appreciate, the final e is dropped: appreciation. Adding this suffix adds the meaning “the act or state of being ____.” The suffix –ish adds the meaning “somewhat” or “like,” as in brownish. Recognizing a suffix can help you figure out the meaning of an unknown word. Look at the unknown word. See if you recognize a base word in it. Check to see if the suffix –ion, -tion, or –ish has been added to the base word. Ask yourself how the suffix changes the meaning of the base word. Try the new meaning in the sentence to see if it makes sense. As you read “It’s Easier in Daydreams,” look for words that end with suffixes. Analyze the base words and the suffixes to figure out the meanings of words you do not know.

  42. Genre: Autobiography An autobiography is the story of a person’s life or of a single event in ti, told by the person who lived it. As you read, notice how the author looks back at himself from a humorous point of view.
