The American civil war was fought between the North and the South states. It lasted from 1861-1865. The war was triggered by the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860. What started it? Southern states wanted to secede (leave) the United States. The Northern states said that no state could leave the Union. The South believed they had to right to secede. The North and the South disagreed about Slavery The Southern states believed they had the right to own slaves. The Northern states believed that slaves should be free. The North Abraham Lincoln One of the most remembered and influential people in the Civil War.

Identify what makes a detail specific Differentiating between what is a a topic sentence, important detail or unimportant detail. What does the word mean and how do you know? The Evil knight planned to abduct the queen when she came alone to the village. Our basketball team was abducted by aliens who carried them off to the planet Mars. The neighbor’s boy abducted our pet pig, and we paid a ransom of a box of cookies to get him back. Quick Check A specific detail gives us a visual. Often times when we are answering a question, being able to locate a specific detail can help. We are going to do a quick check to see if you can tell if a detail is specific or not. If it is specific your hand goes on your head (yours, not your neighbors)If the detail is general then your hand goes on your shoulder. Ready? Let’s play! Specific or General? Racing is fun. If it is specific your hand goes on your head (yours, not your neighbors)If the detail is general then your hand goes on your shoulder. Specific or General? Samoyeds, Alaskan huskies, and Siberian huskies are good racing dogs. specific - your hand goes on your head general - your hand goes on your shoulder Specific or General? Dogs need food. specific - your hand goes on your head general - your hand goes on your shoulder Specific or General? Some breeders add meat juice to water so dogs will drink it. specific - your hand goes on your head general - your hand goes on your shoulder Specific or General? The dogs can learn how to do lots of different things. specific - your hand goes on your head general - your hand goes on your shoulder Specific or General? In the summer, you can practice racing with mowed paths. specific - your hand goes on your head general - your hand goes on your shoulder Specific or General?

It’s important to know a lot of stuff when you want to race sled dogs. specific - your hand goes on your head general - your hand goes on your shoulder What’s the Gist? The GIST is just a one sentence paraphrase of the paragraph. Once you read the paragraph you ask-”What was this all about?” You can easily write this one sentence as a reminder of what you read. As you read the following paragraph, think about what it is all about. Teacher Read Aloud – you think: What’s the Gist? “Ooh!” Someone spit in that plant!” Maybe you’ve said this after seeing a glob of bubbly white foam on a plant. The culprit might be tinier than you think. A kind of insect called a spittlebug actually creates the foamy masses. Why would these insects do this? After the spittlebug nymphs hatch in May, they secrete a liquid. Then they move and twist their bodies around to whip this liquid into foam. The foam keeps them cool, moist, and hidden from predators. Pretty clever, huh? Important Detail vs. Less Important Detail We just read a paragraph together for the purpose of determining the gist. Now we will read to think about each sentence and decide if it is a topic sentence, an important detail, or an unimportant detail. Sentence “Ooh! Someone spit in that plant!
