•This week’s concept is “taking risks.” Taking risks can mean putting yourself in danger to help others.

•Let’s discuss the web. What else can we add to it to aid us in our understanding of “Taking Risks?”

•This week we’re going to read about ways people take risks to help others. During World War II there were many people who were in danger because of their religion or culture.

•Today, we’re going to read A Day in the Life of Peter and Eve; it is a historical fiction story.

•Page 10… On page 10 Peter is remembering what happened to his friend’s house. His friend, Hans Karp is Jewish. What do you think may have happened to the Karp’s house?

First look for meaningful parts. If I see a part I know, such as –ed or –ing, then I look for aBase word.

I see a suffix I know: -ed (This tells me it happened in the past.)

I also see the prefix en-. I know that en- means to give.

I see a word I know now: courage

I put the parts together: en courage ed

I know that this word means gave courage.

Let’s read this word together… encouraged

Let’s try a few more.
