Developing Oral Language
• Form small groups• Brainstorm a list of words with the suffix -ful
or -less.• Create a short definition of each word.• Each group read the definition of one of the
words and challenge the other groups to identify the word.
Supporting the Reading
• Writers show the connection between events by organizing information into cause-and-effect relationships.
• A cause is a force or influence that produces an effect. It is why something happens.
• An effect is what happens as a consequence of the cause. For example, Mrs. Frisby is away from her home because her son timothy is sick and she needs to get him medicine. Timothy’s illness is the cause. the effect is that Mrs. Frisby risks her life to get the medicine and bring it back to him.
• Sometimes writers alert the reader that they are describing a cause-and-effect relationship. They do this by using signal words such as because, for, since, therefore, so, consequently, reason for, due to, and as a result.
Guided PracticeFind examples of cause-and-effect relationships in “Mrs. Frisby and the Crow.” Write your conclusions in the
appropriate spaces.

Inquiry Process
Conjecture• What resources will you need to prove your
conjecture right or wrong or to modify them.
• Some sources might be biographies of risk takers, articles about athletes competing in an extreme sport, an interview with someone they know who has taken a risk.
Biography
• Because biographies are written in the order of events, it is important to use transition words in your paragraphs to show relationships, especially time relationships between ideas. Some common transition words include
• later, the next day, before next, and after.
Biography
• Be Careful• Guard against starting sentences the same way
because the story becomes boring for the reader.• Bad Example: “In 1848, she did this…,” “In 1855,
this happened,”• Good Example: “The ferry ride over…,” “After
talking with Mr. Johnson for a few minutes…” “Later on in the night…” “As soon as the rain reached the station….”
BiographyPitfalls to Avoid
• Sentences that show time and order are too similar in style. Vary sentence beginnings to solve this problem.
• The events of the subject’s life are not written in chronological order.
• The biography lacks detailed descriptions of the person and events.
• The facts of the subject’s life are inaccurate.
Biography
Create an interesting opening paragraph through the use of quotations, questions, or descriptions.
