DIVISION
This week we are working on DIVISION! There are many ways to divide and you need to know each way because you will be tested on it.
The first method we learned was using circles. This way is easy but it takes a lot of time, especially if you have a number larger than 30 as your dividend (the big number you are cutting up or sharing).
The second method we learned was using base ten blocks. There we use the base ten blocks to divide large numbers using a picture. Look below for an example that uses base ten blocks to find the quotient of 73 ÷ 3.

TEXT STRUCTURE:
Remember, Text Structure is the BIG BUILDING the author is making. We have studied 4 different types:
- Sequence= The author writes the information in order. Look for dates, times, and key words like first, last, next, then, before, after, finally.
- Compare and Contrast= The author writes to show how things are alike and different. Look for -er words (taller, shorter, bigger, smaller, lighter, darker) and key Compare words like alike, same as, both, similar to, as well as. Also, look for key Contrast words such as different, differs, however, although, while, as opposed to, on the other hand, on the contrary.
- Cause and Effect= The author writes to show that something happened (the effect) and the reason why it happened (the cause). Look for key words like cause, because of, why, as a result, the the reason why, consequently, therefore.
- Problem and Solution = The author tells about a problem and then shows how the problem was solved. Look for key words like problem, solution, fix, solved, consequently, leads to, therefore, thereby.
TEXT FEATURES:
Remember, Text Features are the extras authors put in their writing to help readers.
Feature = Extra
These features (or extras) can include

Feature = Extra
These features (or extras) can include
- Illustrations = the pictures that help readers visualize the text
- Captions = the words around the illustrations that give more information about the illustration
- Titles= the name of the passage or text that helps the reader know what the passage will be about (the topic)
- Headings= the name of a part of the passage that helps the reader know what that section or part will be about (the topic)
- Sidebars= the bulleted information that an author gives to the side (or bottom) of a text that gives the reader more information about the topic of the passage
- Maps= drawings that show the reader the location (place) and size of things
- Diagrams= drawings and pictures that show the parts of something
- Tables= are charts of information that are often used to help the reader compare things

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE H.E.A.T. CLASS ON A JOB WELL DONE DURING THE FCAT WRITING TEST!!!
WRITING Information
In this Writer's Workshop section you will also find tips and tricks for better writing. Remember, this is just for H.E.A.T. team members! So try to keep it shhhhhh (onomatopoeia).
SHOW NOT TELLWhen you write remember to show the reader what things looked like, smelled like, felt like, sounded like, and even tasted like. Do not just tell the reader the things that happened--that would be too boring and short. The best authors (like you) write so the reader can imagine they were there too!
Check out the H.E.A.T. example of show not tell for Lina's telling sentence, "My cousin was drowning." |
