Today’s Agenda
• Today you will sit next to your partner, but at
a desk again.
• This means that your belongings need to be
secured before we get started. Please do that
now.
• We are going to discuss, learn, and look at
topic sentences today, including our own.
John Scieszka
• Remember reading The True Story of the
Three Little Pigs?
• Let’s look at page 5 of that book again. Listen
as I read it aloud.
• What did John Scieszka do to get us interested
in the story right away?
More Opening Sentences
• Let’s take a look at more opening sentences from
Meteor! (Pg. 3) and Water Dance (pg. 3).
• Strong opening sentences often intrigue the
reader with interesting details (“a star sputtered
and flashed and started to fall”) or riddles (“Some
people say I am one thing. Others say I am
many”).
• Strong opening sentences often hint at what is
coming in the piece.
Think Pair Share
• Reread your opening sentence.
– Think about your sentence. How might you revise
your opening sentences to “hook” your reader
and make him want to keep reading?
– Turn and talk about your sentence and your ideas
with your partner. Each partner will have one
minute.
Writing Time
• During writing time today I want you to revise
your opening sentence. Make it something that
hooks the reader in and makes them want to
continue writing.
• Make any other revisions you think are needed to
make your piece the most interesting it can be.
Tomorrow you will start writing a final version of
your draft, so use your time wisely.
Share
• Who would like to share their opening
sentences?
– First read the original, and then read the revised
sentence.

Parts of a Cell
(organelles)
Class Verbal Quiz
What is the function of
chloroplast?
Chloroplasts are the food producers of
the cell. They are only found in plant
cells. Chloroplasts are GREEN. Animal
cells do not have chloroplasts.
What is the function of
mitochondria?
Mitochondria are the cell's power
producers. They convert energy into
forms that are usable by the cell.
What is the function of
cytoplasm?
The cytoplasm's function is to simply offer support to the
cell. It allows the cell to take up 3-dimensional space and
the cell's many organelles to 'float' freely throughout. The
cytoplasm is a liquid in which the organelles float in.
What is the function of
a cell wall?
The cell wall is the rigid layer surrounding the plasma
membrane of PLANT CELLS. The function of the cell wall is to
provide protection and structural support to the cells. It also
acts as a filtering device and regulates movement of water,
nutrients and waste into and out of the cell.
What is the function of
the cell membrane?
The cell membrane separates the cell from its surroundings.It
protects it from changes in the chemical and physical environment,
and it regulates the traffic of molecules into and out of the cell.
What is the function of
chromosomes?
Chromosomes are long pieces of DNA found in the center (nucleus)
of cells. Chromosomes and associated proteins carry portions of
the hereditary information of an organism. Chromosomes are
considered the building blocks of the human body.
What is the function of
the nucleus?
The nucleus regulates all cell activity.
What is the function of
the vacuole?
Vacuoles are storage bubbles found in cells. Vacuoles might store food
or any variety of nutrients a cell might need to survive. They also store
waste products so the rest of the cell is protected from contamination.
Eventually, those waste products are sent out of the cell.
