Question of the Day

How do people adapt to difficult situations?

Today we will learn about: Draw Conclusions Idiom Word Structure: Endings Grammar: Subject and Object

Pronouns Spelling: Words from Many Cultures Instruction Manual People Adapting

Draw Conclusions A conclusion is a decision you make

after thinking about the details in what you read.

Often your prior knowledge can help you draw, or make, a conclusion.

When you draw a conclusion, be sure it makes sense and is supported by what you have read.

Idiom An idiom is a group of words that

cannot be understood by the ordinary meaning of the words. Examples include “pulling your leg” or “bury the hatchet.”

In idioms, words take on non-literal meanings.

Often the meaning of idioms can be understood by figuring out what makes sense in context.

Word Structure: Endings The endings –ed, -ing, and –s maybe

added to verbs to change the tense. The endings can also be used to help

determine the meaning of an unfamiliar word.

Examine words with these endings from Weslandia. Identify the base words and meanings and see if you can make new words with the other two endings.

Instruction Manual How can you find out how to bake

a cake, or how to program a new cell phone?

A manual is a book that contains instructions on how to do something.

Instructions tell how to do something, usually in the form of a numbered list.

Instruction Manual Instructions also tell how to follow a

procedure, or method of doing something.

The instructions should be read completely before you begin.

To follow the instructions, read the first step, do what it says, then go onto the next step. Try to visualize each step as you go.

Instruction Manual Manuals often contain warnings

about a procedure, explaining any danger involved. These are marked with an exclamation mark, or the word WARNING or CAUTION.


Pronouns

The tomato was an early food of South American natives.
