Level F
Fifth Grade +
In Units 1- 2, students
must insert synonyms for commonly used emotion words into pre-written stories.
Students use critical thinking skills, as well as dictionary skills to determine
appropriate word usage. Students then create their own emotion stories from story
prompts using the new Vivid Vocabulary®. Students
are encouraged to incorporate figurative language that applies to emotions in their
stories.
Unit 3 concentrates
on figurative language that deals with the five senses. Students write independently
using the four types of introductions and elaborate story plots.
In Unit 4, the
persuasive style of writing is mastered. Students learn three types of appeals, the
formats 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. Students experiment with 12
different styles of poetry. Definitions, examples, and pre-writing activities are
included.
In the final section of Level
F, there are pre-written narrative and expository essays that focus on different
conventions of writing. Students are given the opportunity to practice editing, peer
editing, and revising.
