Focus on the big question: How do animals survive in their habitats? Solve a mystery word, read a nonfiction text about the rainforest, and revise your research writing.
I can read fluently (easy, smooth, and automatic). I can read grade-level text fluently and show comprehension through voice, timing, and expression. I can recognize when a word I have read does not make sense within the text. I can self-correct misread or misunderstood words using context clues.
I can define the main idea (in an informational text). I can identify key ideas from an informational text. I can determine the main idea of an informational text. I can recount/retell (put into my words) the key details of a text.
I can use prewriting strategies to formulate ideas (eg., graphic organizers, brainstorming, list). I can recognize that a good piece of writing requires more than one draft. I can revise my writing (reading aloud, checking for understanding, adding and deleting details). I can edit my writing by checking for errors in capitalization, punctuation, spelling, etc. I can prepare a new draft with changes that strengthens my writing.
