Unit 2Lesson 6
Secret Place
Day 2
What We Will Review
Compound words are made up of two words that help you understand the meaning of the word
The suffix –ed changes the meaning of words to past tense from the present tense. It means the action has already happened. If the word ends in y you change the y to i and add the ending. If the word ends in a short vowel and a consonant you double the final consonant before adding the ending.
What We Will Review
Antonyms are words that are opposites in meaning.
Vivid verbs make reading and writing more interesting. Some verbs can also be used as nouns.
Review spelling patterns that we learned in Unit 2.

Visualizing and Author’s Purpose
Today you will not use your anthology as I read.
You will listen carefully and record what you visualize.
Sometimes it helps to close your eyes so that you can visualize better.
We will also discuss the author’s purpose while we read.
Page 188
While I read picture the setting and action in your mind.
Draw a picture of what your visualize. I think the author’s purpose here is to help
the reader get a clear picture of the place. What did you hear that helped you visualize?
Let me know if you need me to reread the page.
Let’s share some of your pictures.
Page 188
Can you hear the author telling us about the city and then the secret spot. I think she is trying to contrast the two places for us.
What did she say about the city? What did she say about the secret spot? Let’s complete a venn diagram as we listen
again to what the author says.
Pages 189 and 190
Again, draw a picture of what you are visualizing while I read these pages.
Let’s share some of your pictures.
On Page 190 the author has one person, Janet, explaining that people need quiet just like wild animals do. I think she has Janet tell us this so that we can understand her character better. This is called characterization.
Pages 191 – 193
Summarizing – now that we have finished the story, let’s summarize it so that we can remember the important events. First the boy in this story found a hidden place
were wild animals live in and around the river. Then the other people who knew about the place
taught him about the different birds and showed him the place at night.
Summarizing
The boy was so happy about the place he wanted to tell everyone, but Peer told him that might make people want to change the place.
So the boy decided to tell just his father and no one else.
Author’s Purpose
Take out your anthologies and find a part of the story to explain the author’s purpose.
We will read the part and then discuss why the author wrote that part.
We have found that she not only wrote the story to teach us about wildlife in the city, but she also wanted to entertain us.
