Fifth Grade NTI Information Sheet
      Once again this year, any snow days we have will be considered
Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) days and students will be required to complete
assignments at home for those days. By completing work at home on snow days, we
will not have to “make up” these missed days at the end of the school year. These
days will count as a full day of instruction for students and teachers.
      This NTI journal contains the work for your child to complete if school is
cancelled for bad weather. Please keep this journal in a safe place at home. Every
snow day, have your child complete the work for one day. Your child needs to hand
in the work on the first day we are back in school.
      If you have any questions while your child is completing the work, please feel
free to email your child’s teacher. We will be checking our email throughout the day
and will try to answer any questions you or your child may have. T
                                                                 ​ he window of time
we will check our emails frequently will be each day from 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM.

Writing Day 1
Directions: ​Students should work through each page of the Language packet. Make
sure to read the introduction and guided practice sheets for help!
                    Commas After Introductory Elements
Introduction​ ​Good writers vary the beginnings of their sentences to make their writing more
interesting. When you write, use a ​comma​ (​,​) to set off an introductory word or phrase from the
rest of the sentence.
äə
     ●   Use a comma after introductory words such as ​yes​ and ​no​.

          Yes​,​ Victor was looking forward to the race in Chile.
          No​,​ it wouldn’t be easy to run across the Atacama Desert.

     ●   Use a comma after a dependent clause that comes at the beginning of a sentence. A
         dependent clause can begin with a subordinating conjunction such as ​while​ or ​because​.

          While on the plane ride to Chile​,​ Victor thought about the race.
          Because he had trained hard​,​ he was in great shape.

     ●   Use a comma after a prepositional phrase that comes at the beginning of a sentence.

          Under the blazing sun​,​ more than 100 people would race for seven days.

Guided Practice
Directions: Read the passage. Then add commas where they are needed.
Hint: Some sentences begin with two prepositional phrases in a row. There is usually a comma
only after the second prepositional phrase. Example: ​Under the shade of a tree​, the runner
rested.

         Victor was standing in the driest place on Earth. In some parts of the Atacama Desert

not a single drop of water had been seen for decades. On his back Victor’s gear seemed

especially heavy. He had food, clothes, and water for the next 250 kilometers. Could he make

it? Yes he could.

         While he waited for the race to being Victor’s heart pounded. Above the desert wispy

clouds crossed the deep blue sky.

Writing Day 3
Directions: ​Students should work through each page of the Language packet. Make
sure to read the introduction and guided practice sheets for help!
                           Punctuating Titles of Works
Introduction​ ​When you write, you might include the title of a creative work, such as a book
or a poem. Titles of creative works are written in special ways.

   ●   Use ​quotation marks​ ( ​“ “ ​) around the titles of short works, such as stories, poems,
       songs, articles, and chapters of books.

        Have you read the article ​“​Mountain Time​”​?
        The poem ​“​Blue Ridge​”​ was quoted in it.
        The writer also mentioned the song ​“​The Long Way.​”

   ●   When writing by hand, ​underline​ the titles of longer works such as books, magazines,
       newspapers, plays, and movies. If you are using a computer, show these titles in ​italic
       type​.

        The magazine ​Mountain Days Monthly​ just arrived at our house.
                         ​(​if handwritten)

        The magazine ​Mountain Days Monthly​ just arrived at our house.
                        ​(if on a computer)

Guided Practice
Directions: Read the movie review. Correct the titles of short and long works by adding
quotation marks and underlining.
Hint: When you write the name of a longer work, either underline or italicize it. Do not do both.
Correct: ​Ozma of Oz           ​Correct:​ Ozma of Oz              Incorrect: ​Ozma of Oz

       Rockville Gorge is unlike any movie you have ever seen. It is about a group of hikers

who get lost in a dense forest. The main character is a newspaper reporter who works for The

Daily Tribune. The other hikers are doing research for a book called Black Bears of the County.

Did I mention that they all sing? Without warning, the characters start singing I’m So Lost I Feel

Alone. Have you ever heard of the poem Turkeys Are for Gobbling? The main character reads

that poem out loud for no reason I can figure out. The movie reminded me of my least favorite

short story, It’s Just a Bad Dream.

Revising Sentences
Introduction​ ​Good writers revise their writing to make sure their ideas grab and hold a
reader’s attention. There are many ways to revise sentences to improve them.

   ●   You can ​expand​ a sentence by adding details that make the sentence more interesting.

                     Weak:​ Hula is a beautiful Hawaiian dance.
        Add
                     Better:​ With its pulsing drums and flowing steps, hula is a beautiful
        Details
                              Hawaiian dance.

   ●   You can ​shorten​ a sentence by deleting unnecessary words or cutting repetition. Short
       sentences get to the point. They also create rhythm when mixed with longer sentences.

                      Weak:​ I’ll start by saying that I think the dancers move like swaying palm
        Delete
                               trees.
        Words
                      Better:​ The dancers move like swaying palm trees.

                      Weak:​ Hula is fairly simple and not difficult because it is a dance based
        Avoid
                               on just six basic moves that dancers do.
        Repetition
                      Better:​ Hula is fairly simple because it is based on just six moves.

Guided Practice
Directions: Improve each sentence by adding details, deleting words, or avoiding
repetition. If you need to add details, use facts from the tables above.
Hint: To decide the best way to revise a sentence, ask yourself: Does it need fewer words or
more details?

Writing Day 5
Directions: ​Students should work through each page of the Language packet. Make
sure to read the introduction and guided practice sheets for help!
                                   Combining Sentences
Introduction​ ​Good writers avoid strings of short, choppy sentences. You can ​combine
sentences​ with related ideas to vary sentence style and length.

    ●   When the ideas in sentences are related and equally important, you can join them with a
        coordinating conjunction​, such as ​and,​ ​but​, ​or​, or ​so​. Use a comma before the
        conjunction if each idea is a complete sentence.

         Choppy:​ Our class is putting on a play. I want to be the lion.
         Better: ​Our class is putting on a play, and I want to be the lion.

         Choppy:​ I love to perform. I get nervous. I breathe deeply to relax.
         Better: ​I love to perform but get nervous, so I breathe deeply to relax.

    ●   When one idea is more important than the other, you can join them with a
        subordinating conjunction​ such as ​when,​ ​because,​ ​although,​ or ​unless.​ If the clause
        with the conjunction comes first in the new sentence, use a comma after that clause.

         Choppy:​ I’ll be very excited tomorrow. I find out which part I got.
         Better: ​I’ll be very excited tomorrow when I find out which part I got.

         Choppy:​ Owen usually gets the lead part. He has a great voice.
         Better: ​Because Owen has a great voice, he usually gets the lead part.

Guided Practice
Directions: Underline the pairs of sentences you would combine. Then rewrite the
paragraph on another sheet of paper. (You can use the extra paper at the back of your
NTI Journal if you want.) Use all of the conjunctions in the box.
Hint: You can use a conjunction to combine sentences. You can also use a conjunction to
combine just the subjects or the predicates of two sentences.

                              or     when      although      so     and

        We needed a dog to play Toto. My terrier Angus got the part. Angus trotted onto the
stage. We all knew a star was born. Angus had never been in a play. I wasn’t sure how he
would behave. He might follow directions. He might just run off the stage. Luckily, Angus was
perfect. He didn’t like sitting in Dorothy’s basket!
Independent Practice
Directions: For numbers 1-5, choose the best way to combine each pair of sentences.

1. Lori is creative. She was in charge of building the set.
   A. Lori is creative, because she was in charge of building the set.
   B. Lori is creative but was in charge of building the set.
   C. Lori is creative, so she was in charge of building the set.
   D. Although Lori is creative, she was in charge of building the set.

2. The Emerald City was hard to make. It all had to be green.
   A. The Emerald City was hard to make, so it all had to be green.
   B. When the Emerald City was hard to make, it all had to be green.
   C. The Emerald City was hard to make because it all had to be green.
   D. The Emerald City was hard to make, or it all had to be green.

3. The curtain finally rose. The audience gasped.
   A. When the curtain finally rose, the audience gasped.
   B. The curtain finally rose, but the audience gasped.
   C. The curtain finally rose, unless the audience gasped.
   D. Although the curtain finally rose, the audience gasped.

4. Green lights cast a strange glow. They made the set look scary.
   A. Green lights cast a strange glow, but they made the set look scary.
   B. Green lights cast a strange glow and made the set look scary.
   C. Green lights cast a strange glow or made the set looks scary.
   D. Green lights cast a strange glow unless they made the set look scary.

5. Now nothing could go wrong. The set collapsed!
   A. Now nothing could go wrong, and the set collapsed!
   B. Now nothing could go wrong, or the set collapsed!
   C. Now nothing could go wrong when the set collapsed!
   D. Now nothing could go wrong unless the set collapsed!
Varieties of Englist: Dialect and Register
Introduction​ ​There are many ways to speak English. You speak informally with your friends
but formally to your principal. You use words common to the time and place in which you live.
Fiction writers often make their characters speak different varieties of English.

   ●   Dialect​ is how a group in a specific place and time speaks. Below, a young man tells his
       story in dialect. He uses language spoken in towns along the Mississippi River in the
       1800s.

                          Dialect                                      Standard English

        “You don’t know about me without you           “You wouldn’t know about me unless
        have read a book by the name of ​The           you’ve read a book called ​The Adventures
        Adventures of Tom Sawyer,​ but that ain’t      of Tom Sawyer,​ but that’s all right.
        no matter.”

   ●   Register​ is how people speak in different situations. When you talk to a friend, you
       probably use the informal language of everyday speech. When you give an oral report,
       however, you are more careful about the language you use. Your language is formal.

                          Informal                                         Formal

        “Bro, you can’t be serious. This               “Mrs. Taub, we’re having trouble with our
        experiment is lame. We’ll never get it to      experiment. We can’t get this circuit to
        work!”                                         work!”

Guided Practice
Directions: Read aloud the conversation below. Then, on a separate piece of paper,
rewrite the dialogue as if it were a formal discussion between Jason and his coach. (You
can use the paper at the back of you NTI journal if you want.)
Hint: Informal language includes slang terms, such as ​dude​, a
                                                              ​ ce​, and ​ain’t​. As you read,
underline​ any slang you need to change for a more formal dialogue.

       “Okay, dude. You gotta get your head together about the game,” Scott said.

       “I hear they got a pretty heavy guy pitching today. And there ain’t no ties--only one team

can win,” Jason answered.

       “You’re not worried, are you? You’re an ace hitter!” said Scott.

       “I ain’t scared, bro,” Jason mumbled. “I just need to chill.”
Independent Practice
Directions: This dialogue from ​The Adventures of Tom Sawyer​ is written in dialect. Tom
is whitewashing a fence (similar to painting) when his friend Ben comes along. Rewrite
this dialogue as if two friends were talking today.

1. BEN: Hello, Old Chap, you got to work today, hey?
   TOM: Why, it’s you Ben! I warn’t noticing.
   _________________________________________________________________________
   _________________________________________________________________________

2. BEN: Say, I’m going in a-swimming, I am. Don’t you wish you could? But of course you’d
   druther ​work-​ -wouldn’t you? Course you would!
   _________________________________________________________________________
   _________________________________________________________________________

3. TOM: What do you call work?
   BEN: Why, ain’t ​that​ work?
   TOM: Well, maybe it is and maybe it ain’t. All I know is, it suits Tom Sawyer.
   _________________________________________________________________________
   _________________________________________________________________________

4. BEN: Oh come on, now you don’t mean to let on that you like it?

Writing Day 7
Directions: ​Students should work through each page of the Language packet. Make
sure to read the introduction and guided practice sheets for help!
                                  Using Context Clues
Introduction​ ​You can use ​context clues​ to figure out the meaning of an unfamiliar word.
The chart below gives examples of different types of context clues.

 Type of Clue                                       Example

 Definition      Superfoods​, or natural foods that may prevent disease, have become popular.

                 Some superfoods, such as blueberries and red beans, contain ​antioxidants​.
 Cause/Effect
                 These can help remove harmful substances from the human body.

                 Some experts look ​dubiously​ on claims about superfoods, but other experts
 Comparison
                 believe strongly that these foods can improve health.

Context clues can also help you figure out words with more than one meaning. For example, the
table below has two sentences with the word ​source.​ What does ​source​ mean in each
sentence? You can use the underlined context clues to figure out which meaning of ​source​ is
being used.

              Sentence                          Context Clues                      Definition

 choices.                            something that gives information.

The sentences before and after the sentence with an unfamiliar word can also hold context
clues.

Guided Practice
Directions: Determine the meanings of ​fleeting,​ ​empirical,​ and ​panacea​. Then underline
the words or phrases that helped you determine their meaning.
                  ​ s a result of,​ ​because of,​ and ​thanks to​ all signal cause-and-effect
Hint: The phrases a
relationships. Words such as b ​ ut​, t​ oo,​ ​also,​ and ​as well as​ indicate comparisons.

       Some facts are ​fleeting​, but more than a few people feel that superfoods are here to

stay. The idea of superfoods isn’t new, but the amount of ​empirical​ information we have about

them is. Scientific observations and tests offer some evidence that certain foods can help

people stay healthy. Nobody claims that these foods are a ​panacea—​ nothing can guarantee

perfect health or cure every disease— but they can be part of a sensible diet.
Independent Practice
Directions: For numbers 1 and 2, read the paragraph. Then answer the questions.

For centuries, people in coastal areas of China and Japan have harvested a superfood found in
marine​ environments. Recent studies show that eating seaweed protects against infection. It
also might reduce the risk of serious diseases and extend peoples’ life spans. If true, these
would be important benefits.

1. What does the word ​marine​ mean in this paragraph?
   A. very nutritious
   B. dark blue in color
   C. having to do with the ocean
   D. member of the armed forces

2. Which two words from the paragraph help you understand the meaning of ​marine​?
   A. “China” and “Japan”
   B. “coastal” and “seaweed”
   C. “centuries” and “people”
   D. “superfood” and “studies”

Directions: For numbers 3 and 4, read the paragraph. Then answer the questions

Closer to home, you can find superfoods right in your garden or local store. Think “crisp and
crunchy.” Cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and kale ​detoxify​ harmful substances. As a result, they
may help to prevent some forms of cancer. These veggies also are low in calories and have lots
of vitamins A, C, and K.

3. What does the word ​detoxify​ mean in this paragraph?
   A. to move in a wide circle
   B. to chew food slowly
   C. to make a difficult decision
   D. to remove bad effects

4. What two words from the paragraph help you to understand the meaning of ​detoxify​?
   A. “crisp” and “crunchy”
   B. “prevent” and “cancer”
   C. “veggies” and substances”
   D. “calories” and “vitamins”
Greek and Latin Word Parts
Introduction​ ​English words come from many languages, including Greek and Latin.
   ●   A ​root​ is a word part that usually can’t stand alone as a word. Sometimes one root is
       added to another root to make a word.

        Root                 Meaning                    Root               Meaning

        chron                  “time                    port              “carry, bear”

         dict               “say, speak”                rupt                  “break”

        graph                 “write”               scrib, script             “write

        photo                  “light”              spec, spect               “look”

   ●   Affixes​ are word parts such as prefixes and suffixes that are added to roots to make
       words. Knowing what affixes and roots mean can help you figure out the meanings of
       words.

        Prefix               Meaning                   Suffix              Meaning

         co-                   “with”                -able, -ible     “able to, worthy of”

       contra-               “against”                  -sis           “action, process”

         syn-            “same, together”                -ity        “having the quality of”

   ●   As you learn Greek and Latin roots and affixes, your vocabulary will grow.

Guided Practice
Directions: Circle the root in the underlined words. Some words have two roots. Write the
meaning of each root.
Hint:​ ​Photosynthesis​ has several word parts. The word ​thesis​ means “to place or put.” Look at
the tables above for what ​photo​ and s​ yn-​ mean.

   1. During science class, our teacher displayed a ​photograph​ of a tree.
       ______________________________________________________________________
   2. Next, she ​dictated​ several terms related to plants.
       ______________________________________________________________________
   3. She ​inspected​ the notes of some of the students.
       ______________________________________________________________________
   4. “How do green plants use air, water, and sunlight to make food during ​photosynthesis​?”
       our teacher asked.
       ______________________________________________________________________
Independent Practice
Directions: For numbers 1-4, read each sentence. Then answer the question.

1. Our teacher explained to use that plants are autotrophs.

   The prefix ​auto-​ means “self,” and the root ​troph​ means “food.” What is the meaning of
   autotroph​ as it is used in the sentence?

   A. something that makes its own food
   B. something that eats its own food
   C. something that makes food for others
   D. something that becomes food

2. Our teacher told use to apply our cognition to that fact.

   The root ​cogn​ means “know” and the suffix ​-tion​ means “the state or quality of.” What is the
   meaning of ​cognition​ as it is used in the sentence?

   A. best efforts
   B. thinking skills
   C. full belief
   D. feelings about

3. She told us to check our science books if we doubted the veracity of her claims.

   meaning of ​veracity​ as it is used in the sentence?

   A. greenness
   B. intelligence
   C. truth
   D. newness

4. Our teacher’s prognosis was that if we studied we would all do fine on the test.

   What is the meaning of ​prognosis​ as it is used in the sentence?

   A. prediction
   B. advice
   C. feeling
   D. understanding
