Lesson Organizer Lesson Synopsis In Reading, students make connections between fictional and informational texts and provide text evidence to support their ideas. Students use graphic organizers to compare and contrast texts. Students continue to write expository compositions using the writing process. In Word Study, students continue to build their knowledge of words by studying synonyms, prefixes, suffixes, and base/root words.
