2. Lesson #1

3. Identify It: Syllable Types • Open your I-Book to page 148 • Remember: When pronounced within words, some syllables are reduced to schwa. This exercise focuses on the structure of syllables and their pronunciation when not reduced to a schwa sound. • Read the directions on the page and complete the activity.

4. Review: Syllable Types • What kind of letter follows the vowel in a closed syllable? • What letter follows the vowel in an r-controlled syllable? • What follows the vowel in an open syllable? • What is the vowel sound in an open syllable? • What follows the first vowel in a final silent e syllable? • What is the vowel sound in a final silent e syllable? • What comes after the vowel in a vowel diagraph syllable? • What is the vowel sound in most vowel diagraphs? • What is the vowel sound in a final consonant +le syllable? • What are the sound – spelling patterns in vowel diphthong syllables?

10. Word Wheel • Write the word “imagination” in the middle of the word wheel. • Look at the headings around the wheel and ask clarifying questions to answer any questions that you have about how to fill in the boxes. • Use a dictionary or a thesaurus to help you find the answers.

11. Expression of the Day • By no stretch of the imagination • Meaning: certainly not • Example sentence: By no stretch of the imagination could he seriously be described as an artist. • Now, write your own sentence using the expression, by no stretch of the imagination.

12. Review: Nominative and Object Pronouns • What is a pronoun? • Function words that are used in the place of a noun. • Example: • Juan bought a red car. • He bought a red car. • He bought it.

13. Pronouns replace nouns in sentences • Nominative (subject) pronouns take the place of the subject in a sentence. • Sarah sings in the choir. • She sings in the choir. • Object pronouns take the place of the object in the sentence. • Maria bought the candy bar. • Maria bought it • Nominative and object pronouns usually have nouns, called antecedents, to which they refer. • Ante = before

14. Our animated film was nominated for an Academy Award. Much to our surprise, it won. • It is the nominative pronoun taking the place of the noun film. • The artists needed drawings and sketches to help them build the sculptures. • Them is an object pronoun taking the place of the noun artists, which is the antecedent.

26. Lesson 2

27. Review: Stressed Syllables and Schwa • Stress is the emphasis that syllables have in words. • If a syllable is stressed, the vowel is usually long or short. • If the syllable is not stressed, the vowel may be reduced. This reduced sound is called schwa. Schwa sounds like /u/ but is even more reduced.

28. Vowel Chart • Open your I-Book to page R4 • Find the schwa on your vowel chart • Look at the words under the schwa sign.

29. Schwa • Schwa is often found in the unstressed syllable of a two syllable word. • Example:lessonelectcircus • Schwa often occurs in words beginning or ending with a. • Example: about • Schwa often occurs in an unaccented syllable of a multi syllable word. • Example: definition

31. Divide It: Unit Words • Dividing words into syllables and morpheme parts will help you read unfamiliar words. • Often times unfamiliar words are long words. It can be helpful to divide those larger words into smaller word parts to determine how to pronounce them.

32. Let’s divide the word: Conspicuous • Circle all of the prefixes • Underline the first vowel in the root • Underline the next vowel • Use the vowel-consonant patterns to divide the word into syllables.

33. Divide It • Now you try to divide it. • Choose a long word from the unit word list

34. Word Fluency 1 • Turn to the Unit 35 Word Fluency 1 sheet page R40 and time each other for one minute. • Do two trials for each partner. • Record the better of the two trials on the Word Fluency Chart in the Interactive Text, pg R50.

37. Review: Possessive and Demonstrative Pronouns • What are pronouns? • Words that replace nouns • What do you think a possessive pronoun is? • A pronoun that shows ownership or possession. • Example: The new DVD of the movie is mine.

38. Any guesses about what a demonstrative pronoun is? • They are pronouns used to point out specific persons, places, or things without stating the noun. These pronouns convey a sense of distance (in time and space). • Examples: this, that, these, and those

39.
