Level E
Fourth Grade
Level E contains
over 250 lessons divided into 4 units.
In Unit 1, writing
is taught through the content area. Students learn synonyms for emotion words.
They also learn how to describe characters and settings for stories. Students
provide situations in which figurative language can be appropriately applied. In
order to accommodate those students who have not yet mastered the process of witting
organized paragraphs, a basic writing unit is included.
In Unit 2, antonyms
and synonyms are introduced to replace commonly over used words. As students
continue to master the process of writing, new and elaborate story plots are
introduced. Pre-written narrative and expository essays that focus on different
conventions of writing are provided for students to practice editing.
In Unit 3, the
persuasive style of writing is introduced. Students learn three type of appeals, the
format in which to apply persuasive writing, and specific transitional vocabulary needed
for this style of writing. Vivid Vocabulary® that
applies to persuasive writing is incorporated in dictionary skill activities. Sample
persuasive essays are provided for student editing.
In Unit 4,
students experiment with 12 different styles of poetry. Definitions, examples, and
pre-writing activities are included.
