Super Winter Survivors– Syllables

SEATWORK- Tuesday ___/ 20

Syllables:

All words have a syllable.  A syllable is the part of the word that is said out loud as a single sound.  Some words have one syllable such as "ball" and some words have two syllables such as "baseball."  Many words have more than one or two syllables.  Syllables can help you pronounce a word you do not know when you first see it.

vccv Rule

When a word contains more than one vowel, it could follow the vccv or vowel-consonant-consonant-vowel pattern.  Divide the word into syllables by drawing a dash between the two consonants. These are called Closed Syllables

picture ( pic ture napkin ( nap kin garden ( gar den

Double Consonants

When a word contains a double consonants, divide it between the consonants

kitten ( kit ten happy ( hap py letter ( let ter

vcv Rule

When a word contains a vowel, consonant, and a vowel it will be divided based on the sound the first vowel makes. 

If the first vowel is long, divide after that vowel.  These are called Open Syllables

radar ( ra dar hotel ( ho tel pupil ( pu pil

If the first vowel is short, divide after the consonant. Write each word on your paper and divide into syllables. Then click the arrow to check your work

cabin ( cab in shiver ( shiv er river ( riv er

Compound Words

Compound words are divided into the original two words.  e.g.  tom-boy, wet-suit, beach-ball.  If either or both of the original words have more than one vowel sound, that word should also be divided into syllables.  e.g. bask/et-ball, book-keep/er, trans-at/lan/tic

Super Winter Survivors – Distinguish Genres: Expository Writing

Seatwork- Wednesday ___/ 12

Here is another example of expository writing. Read the passages and answer the questions that follow.

What is a Lotic Ecosystem?

Water is a vital part of our lives. We drink it. We wash with it. We use water for irrigating crops, for transporting goods, as well as, for generating energy at hydroelectric dams and nuclear power plants. We treasure our water for recreation like swimming, boating and fishing.

Ecologists divide continental waters into two categories Lentic and Lotic. A Lotic Ecosystem has flowing waters. Here are a few examples of a Lotic system.

A spring is a point where water flows out of the ground. A spring may flow the whole year or only sometimes. This depends on the water getting into the ground all of the time (rain) or only once in a while (snow melting). A spring often sends water down, along the land. This is how rivers start. Some springs produce water that is good for health reasons. Sometimes towns grow by these springs because many people who are ill come there to get better. Such towns are called spa towns.

A stream is a body of water with a current, confined within a bed and stream-banks.

Depending on its locale or certain characteristics, a stream may be referred to as brook, beck, burn, creek, crick, kill, lick, rill, river syke, bayou, rivulet, or run. Streams are important as conduits in the water cycle, instruments in groundwater recharge, and they serve as corridors for fish and wildlife migration.

A brook is another type of stream that is smaller than a creek, especially one that is fed by a spring or seep. It is usually small and easily forded. This means where one can cross by walking or riding on an animal or in a vehicle. A Brook is different from a stream in that a brook is characterized by its shallowness and its bed being composed solely of rocks.

A river may start from natural springs, or it may originate from a water source like a lake or a melting glacier. Falling rain also supplies the river with much of its water. Rivers flow until they reach a larger water source, such as the ocean. The place where a river meets the ocean is called the mouth of the river. Sometimes rivers join with other rivers along their path. The smaller rivers that feed into the main body of water are called tributaries. Rivers are very important to our world! Not only do they help drain the land of extra water, their energy can be used to generate power, and people can travel them in boats, even transporting goods from place to place.

As you can see Lotic systems can be diverse in their form, ranging from a spring that is only a few centimeters wide to a major river that is kilometers in width. But remember that despite these differences it is the fact that all Lotic systems always have running water.
