the First25DayWritingWorkshop,which will set the foundation for guided reading routines and practices, and provide strategies for
implementing the writing process. Also during the unit, students will use context clues and antonyms and synonyms to discover the
meaning of unknown words, and spell words by applying letter sound and the closed syllable patterns. Through the genre of Realistic
Fiction,students will learn to ask questions specific to the genre, compare plots in several different texts, and describe main characters.
Students will also identify authors craft through inference, and summary. Students will respond to text and create personal narratives
using written conventions such as correct use of nouns, verbs, and pronoun, and correct ending punctuation. Students will brainstorm
research topics and determine relevant resources to investigate the topics.
