 Spelling: Words with the Schwa
 Dictionary/Glossary
 Future Homes
Compare and Contrast
 When you compare and contrast, you
tell how two or more things are alike
or different.
 Sometimes authors use similes and
metaphors to make comparisons.
 Similes use the clue words like, as, or
than.
Compare and Contrast
 Metaphors do not use clue words.
Words such as unlike, but, and
however can show contrasts.
 Ask questions while reading to
compare and contrast, such as “How
are these two characters alike and
different?” or “What does this
situation remind me of?”
Flashback
 A flashback is an interruption in
the narrative order to show an
event that happened earlier.
 An author can use a flashback to
give background on a character
and event or to show how a past
event influenced a character.
Flashback
 Movies and television use flashbacks
effectively, often with visual clues to
let the view know a flashback has
occurred.
 Novels and many other stories use
flashbacks, often with little
introduction. The reader must often
look for clues such as verb tense and
setting details.
Context Clues
 An unfamiliar word’s context, the
words and phrases around the word,
can help determine the word’s
meaning.
 List unfamiliar words from “Good-bye
to the Moon” in a chart. List any
context clues that help determine the
meaning of the word. Check your
definitions in a dictionary.

type and broken into syllables. It
shows how the word is spelled and
whether it should be capitalized.
Dictionary/Glossary
 Following the entry word are its
pronunciation, part of speech,
definitions, illustrative phrases or
sentences that show how the word
may be used, and inflected forms of
the word when endings are added.

 Guide words are words in dark type at
the top of each page. They indicate
the first and last words on the page.
