contrast) to understand the passage, DOK 2.

words needed to help me describe the sequence of events
in a story.
Activities - Week of
11-18-09:
We are learning about outlining the sequence of events
in a passage as it is imperative for our comprehension
of text. Organizing the sequence of events is not only
important in nonfiction when are learning how to do
something, but also in understanding the plot of a
fictional story because we are summarizing what we have
read. Often in stories, there will be vocabulary words
specialized and specific to identifying and/or
describing a sequence of events relevant to the story
(then, next, after, first, third, before, later,
finally, in the beginning). In class, we discussed how
to apply this concept not only in what we read, but also
in making connections to and describing our lives. Our
life is a nonfiction story filled with many events that
change the direction of it. We created a timeline of
important events in our lives, and then used our
vocabulary words specific to this concept to describe
the sequence that they occurred.

aSSESSMENT:
SC-04-4.6.1:
Students will analyze patterns and make generalizations
about the basic relationships of plants and animals in
an ecosystem (food chain).
Plants make
their own food. All animals depend on plants. Some
animals eat plants for food. Other animals eat animals
that eat the plants. Basic relationships and connections
between organisms in food chains, including the flow of
energy, can be used to discover patterns within
ecosystems,
