Journeys Lesson 10

Within Lesson 10, and throughout our week, we will be focusing on a variety of new concepts, but also practicing and building on topics already learned. 

We also have two new texts that are of use when it comes to new concepts being reinforced.

Jellies: The Life of Jellyfish

Genre: Informational Text

Most children are fascinated by animals - as pets, in the wild, creepy, or exotic. This informational text helps children understand what particular physical features jellyfish have that help them survive.

This text will identify reasons to support a fact or an opinion while also identifying the author's purpose for writing the text.

Splash Photography

Genre: Informational Text

Children will regularly encounter informational text in textbooks, on the internet, and through other media. This text gives factual information about a familiar topic - photography - and will expand on children's knowledge of the topic with details about underwater photography.

Students will use a diagram to enhance understanding and discuss how labels help to clarify information in a text. 

Balloon's!

Henry's Puffin WITH goggles!

Lainey's Cat

Elena's unicorn, cat & Olaf!

Aiden's Dog!

Bobby's turkey!

Logan's Balloons!

Macy's Frog!

This week we are introducing new concepts in Journeys while learning about different types of weather and storms. Very engaging!!

Our new text this week are:

Super Storms

Genre: Informational Text

This text provides facts about a familiar topic: different kinds of storms.

Photos (graphic features) with captions will provide additional details about storms and ways to measure their effects. Students will also be identifying the main idea and details in a selection and discussing the cause and effect of storms.

Weather Poems

Genre: Poetry

Three poems about weather will allow students to compare perspectives, imagery, and the use of repetition. They will learn about how the sound of words can show images and feelings in poetry. They will also discuss repetition as a device used in poetry.
