  17. Independent & Dependent Clauses • Writing sentences with independent and dependent clauses will make students’ writing more interesting and informative. • Review something you have written to see if you can improve it by adding dependent clauses to independent clauses.

  18. Compare & Contrast • When you compare and contrast, you tell how two or more things are alike or different. • Similes and metaphors make comparisons of very different things.

  19. Compare & Contrast • Similes use the clue words like, as, or than. For example: She is as sly as a fox. • Metaphors do not use clue words. For example: He’s the engine that drives this team.

  20. Mood • Mood is the atmosphere a writer creates for a reader. • The mood of a story is the way you feel while you are reading it. It can be suspenseful, sad, funny, or a variety of other things. • Writers create moods by describing characters, settings, and events with vivid language. Illustrations can also help create a mood.

  21. Context Clues • You can use context clues to help determine the meaning of unfamiliar words. • List any unknown words you encountered as you read “Viva New Jersey.” • Create a chart showing the unknown word, helpful context clues, and a definition based on these clues. • You can use a dictionary or thesaurus.
