  1. Tree of Life Word Analysis The Big Idea: We will read aloud fluently and accurately and with appropriate pacing, intonation, and expression.

  2. Word fluency practice for Tree of Life seaweed wetlands plant-eating watermelon closely sadly distantly especially fungi algae monera amphibians kingdom classify scientists extinction

  3. Sentence fluency practicefor Tree of Life • Many observers have noted how the wildlife in our area has benefited greatly from our efforts to reduce pollution and cleanup local habitats. • Protozoa are tiny creatures found in a variety of habitats, though most are so small that you need a microscope to see them.

  4. Day One In Line 1 each word is compound word. A compound word is made up of two or more words that are used together to form a new word. Three kinds of compound words: open: ice cream, full moon closed: seaweed, wetlands, watermelon, sunshine hyphenated: plant-eating, lip-read Line One

  5. Think of another compound word.Write it on your white board. Why is it a compound word? What two words make up the compound word? Use your compound word in a sentence! Line One: Developing Oral Language

  6. closely sadly distantly especially These words end in the suffix –ly The suffix –ly changes an adjective to an adverb. Adverb Words that add information about the action of the subject of the sentence. They show • when • where • how • to what extent Line Two

  7. Suffix Review -ful means full of Examples: beautiful, harmful -less means without something Examples: careless, endless Add -ly to these adjectives to come up with an adverb! Now, on your white board, use one of the adverbs you though up in a sentence! More suffixes: -al means relating to something; the act of doing something Examples: denial, refusal, electrical

  8. closely sadly distantly especially On your white boards, use one of the sentences above in a sentence that shows the meaning of the word. Example: Even though my third cousin Sarah and I are not closely related, we act like sisters when we are around each other. Day One: Line Two, Developing Oral Language

  9. Day Two Review seaweed wetlands plant-eating watermelon closely sadly distantly especially fungi algae monera amphibians kingdom classify scientists extinction

  10. Scientific Termsfrom Latin and Greek Fungi Algae Monera Amphibians 1.3 Recognize the origins and meanings of frequently used foreign words in English and use these words accurately in speaking and writing.

  11. Fungi From the latin word Fungar: To flourish Fungi seem to grow very quickly in many places!. From Tree of Life: Is there a fungus among us? Chances are pretty good that you’ve seen or even eaten one today……Scientists believe that as many as one million more fungi species have yet to be discovered.

  12. Fungi Fungus: A simple plant without leaves, such as mushrooms, mold, and yeast, that grows in dark warm slightly wet places. Fungus: -plant *no leaves *grows in dark, warm, wet places Let’s break down the definition:

  13. Algae From the Latin word Alga: seaweed From Tree of Life: Algae have another important role. They help maintain the balance of gases in Earth’s atmosphere. How? Algae, like plants, absorb carbon dioxide and use sunlight to create food for themselves.

  14. Algae Algae: A very simple plant without stems or leaves that lives in or near water. Algae: -plant *no stems *lives in or near water *absorbs carbon dioxide Let’s break down the definition:

  15. Monera Monera: bacteria From Tree of Life: You can’t see them, but they’re out there – the 10,000 species of bacteria that make up the Kingdom Monera.

  16. Monera Monera: Bacteria made up of a single cell. They live everywhere – on land, in water, even inside you. Let’s break down the definition: Monera -bacteria *single cell *live everywhere

  17. Amphibians From the Greek word Amphibios: neutral Amphibians are not just land or water animals; they are both. They don’t “take sides”; they are “neutral.” From Tree of Life: Kingdom Animals from invertebrates such as sponges and spiders to vertebrates such as fish, birds, reptiles, amphibians and mammals

  18. Amphibians Amphibians: An animal such as a frog, that can live on land and in water. Let’s break down the definition: Amphibian -animal *lives on land and in water

  19. Science terms:kingdom classify scientists extinction These terms are related to the theme Ecology. Think! What do you already know about ecology? Pair! Tell your partner what you know Share! Be prepared for the teacher to call on you

  20. Ecology • The study of the science of the relationships between organisms and their environments • Ecology - The study of the science of *the relationships between organisms and their environments Fill in the blanks below with the following words: kingdom, classify, scientists, ecology ________________ in the field of _____________ work to _________ or group life into_______________and branches based on certain characteristics. Scientists ecology classify kingdoms

  21. Day Three Review seaweed wetlands plant-eating watermelon closely sadly distantly especially fungi algae monera amphibians kingdom classify scientists extinction

  22. Sentence fluency practice • Many observers have noted how the wildlife in our area has benefited greatly from our efforts to reduce pollution and cleanup local habitats. • Protozoa are tiny creatures found in a variety of habitats, though most are so small that you need a microscope to see them. 1. Identify the compound words in each sentence. 2. Identify an adverb with the suffix -ly

  23. air water • Work with a partner and on your white board: write compound words that contain one of the words listed above. • Be prepared to explain the meaning of one of your words • Be prepared to use one of your words in a complete sentence.

  24. easy silent smooth slow • What is the part of speech for each word listed above? • On your white board, add the suffix –ly to each word • What happens to the part of speech of the word when –ly is added? • Choose one of the words above to use in a sentence, then write another sentence after adding the suffix –ly to the word. • Example: Brian thought the test was easy. Brian easily completed the test.

  25. Day Four Review seaweed wetlands plant-eating watermelon closely sadly distantly especially fungi algae monera amphibians kingdom classify scientists extinction Challenge One: In groups of 4 or 5, think of new ways to group the words above. Have one person in your group record the classifications. Example: PLANTS could be a heading. Which words could go under that heading?

  26. seaweed wetlands plant-eating watermelon distantly closely sadly especially fungi algae monera amphibians kingdom classify scientists extinction Challenge Two: In your groups, try to see how many of the words you can fit into one sentence. Make sure that your sentence makes sense!

  27. CST practice Ecology is the study of a. ancient artifacts b. stars and objects in outer space c. the study of the muscles and bones in the human body d. the relationships between organisms and their environments.

  28. Read these sentences from Tree of Life Algae, like plants, absorb carbon dioxide and use sunlight to create food for themselves. By doing so, they create the oxygen that all animals on the Tree of Life need to breathe. What is the meaning of the word algae as used in this sentence? • A one celled organism that you can’t see without a microscope • A very simple plant with no leaves or stems that lives in or near the water • An animal that can live either in the water or on the land

  29. Read the sentence The Tree of Life is often divided into five main branches called “kingdoms.” What is the meaning of the underlined word in the sentence? • a. A country ruled by a king or queen. • b. The three parts into which scientists divide the natural world • The five groups into which scientists divide all life
