Let’s Practice! One gray winter day the elderly queen summoned all her grandchildren to the castle. “I have been fortunate to have lived a long life,” she said. “But in time your generationwill rule the country. You must work persistently to help the people and take care of the land. “We will always work hard,” the children replied. “You must also be faithful to your brothers and sisters, no matter what,” the queen said.
Independent Practice • Read the story at your table and underline words or phrases you "think" an 5th grade student might have difficulty understanding. • Focus on words that would be specific to their comprehension (understanding) of the story.
A Change In Climate From one day to the next, weather can have a big effect on your life. When it rains, you have to stay indoors or carry an umbrella. When it's cold, you have to bundle up. Over the course of hundreds, thousands, and millions of years, weather trends affect life on Earth in more dramatic ways. Ice ages or long droughts, for example, can wipe out certain types of plants and animals. Although many species manage to survive such extreme, long-term climate shifts, their living conditions also change.
The 7 Steps 1.Teacher says the word. 2.Teacher asks students to repeat the word 3 times.
