Question of the Day

How do we decide the value of different

resources?

Today we will learn about: Build Concept Vocabulary Main Idea and Details Paraphrase Context Clues Grammar: Comparative and Superlative Adjectives Spelling: Suffixes –

ism, -age, -ure Type Formats Resources

Main Idea and Details

The supporting details in a paragraph all contribute to the main idea.

The main idea is always a complete sentence, which may or may not be directly stated.

Paraphrase When you paraphrase a passage

of writing, you put it in your own words.

A paraphrase should reflect the author’s ideas and opinions but be easier to read than the original.

Paraphrasing is an important skill that students use to study for tests, to gather research for reports, and to retell stories.

Context Clues You can use the context, or words

and phrases around an unfamiliar word, to help determine meaning.

List any unknown words you find as you read Gold. Create a chart showing the unfamiliar word, helpful context clues, and a definition based on these clues. You can use a dictionary or glossary.
