10. Background Information The story we are going to read, “A Spoon for Every Bite,” is a folktale. Folktales are stories that were passed down by word of mouth before they were written down and, as discussed above, often are about goodness and intelligence versus evil and ignorance. Also, folktales frequently involve the number 3. Look for examples of these elements as you read the story. This story is most likely set in the southwestern United States. The non-English words used are Spanish. A large percentage of people in this area speak Spanish because it is so close to Mexico.

11.

Update your prediction during reading based on information in the text. • Visualizing Recognize appropriate places in the text to stop and visualize.

Model: Why do grocery stores and food companies provide coupons instead of lowering the prices of their products? What conjecture do you form? When people use coupons, they buy products they otherwise might not buy. I think this conjecture might answer the question, but I will not know for sure until I do more research.

17. WritingPersonal Letters via E-Mail day 1 This week we will be writing personal letter to send via e-mail. How often do you use letters to communicate with friends, family, and acquaintances. What is your purpose when you write a personal or friendly letter? Do you prefer to send your letters by mail or use e-mail? Why? A personal letter is an informal letter written to a friend, a relative, or a pen pal. The tone is much more casual and conversational than a business letter, although friendly letters should still be polite and well written. Salutation – use the word Dear followed by the person’s name and a comma. Body – This is the message part of the letter that starts two lines below the salutation. Indent the first word in each paragraph on the body. Closing – Yours truly and Sincerely are commonly used for a closing. The closing goes two lines below the body. Capitalize the first word, and use a comma at the end of the closing. Signature –This is where you type your name. Type this letter on a word document fist. You can save it and make corrections.
