1 Comprehension Skill Builder - Grade 5 Date: End Time : (WS#5CMP1011) 1 Name: Start Time : Comprehensionn Skill Builder Non-fiction What do we do that doesn t require electricity anymore? Today, we use electricity for soo many different things from lighting, heating, and cooling our homes to powering our computers and televisions. We often don t stop to think about thee beginnings of electricity. 2 Electricity has been around for billions of years. It was available long before the dinosaurs weree even alive! If you look up at the sky on a rainy night, you can see electricity in its most natural form as lightning. However, it wasn tt until recently that man was able to harness this electricity and use it for human purposes like heating and cooling homes. Ancient people in Greece knew that rubbing amber (a yellowish, fossilized tree sap) against animal fur created static electricity. Static electricity is what causes clothes to stick to each other whenn they are pulled from the dryer, but static electricity iss not powerful enough to be used for lighting homes or anything else. 3 Then in the mid-1700 s Benjamin Franklinn created the first object of real use. Franklin discovered that lightning was actually streaks of electricity moving acrosss the sky. His discovery led to his invention of the lightning rod which redirected electricity away from housess and other buildings and prevented them from getting struck by lightning. Franklin s discovery was followed by Michael Faraday s early invention of the electric motor. Faraday found that hee could create a steady flow of electricityy
2 by moving a magnet inside a coil of wire. Although Faraday s motor could not power a car, it did lead to further work and perfection on the motor. 4 In 1830, an American by the name of Joseph Henry discovered that he could make a bell ring a mile away byy passing an electric current throughh a mile-long wire that was attached to the bell. Henry s discovery launched a series of inventions that changed how messages could be sent. Samuel Morse perfected Henry s experiment with his inventionn of the telegraph machine, an electronic device that was able to make dots and dashes to communicate acrosss many miles. The dots and dashes could be decoded into messages. The telegraph machine was thee first electronic communication device and was later replaced by Alexander Graham Bell s invention of the telephone which allowed the human voice to be carried through miles of wire using electric currents. 5 While Alexander Graham Bell was making his mark on electrical history, another inventor, Thomas Edison, was also making great discoveries. Thomas Edison s light bulb and electrical generator shaped the way in which electricity was used in homes. Beforee Edison s light bulb, electrical lights were already being used, but these lights could only be used as street lamps and were not very efficient. Edison s light bulb made indoor lighting a possibility. His light bulb also burned longer than the ones usedd at the time. Edison s light bulb, combined with his generator (which was more powerful than anyy
3 invented before) allowed several homes to have indoor lighting. Edison went on to create the first electrical power plants in America and Europe. 6 The work of scientists and inventors like Thomas Edison paved the way for future generations of electrical inventors and researchers. Without these inventors and scientists, we could not enjoy all the wonderful benefits that come from electricity.

12 Writing Skill Builder - Grade 5 Name: Date: Start Time : End Time : Writing Skill Builder How To Write a Book Report (WS#5WRT1006) A good book report should give other people a good explanation of what a book is about without giving away all of the details. A good book report should also tell how you feel about the book (e.g what you like or don t like about the book). There are many different ways to write a book report; however, the directions below describe some common parts of most book reports. Check with your teacher to see if he/she wants you to add other things to your book report. Introduction Start your introduction with a sentence that will grab your reader s attention. Then, somewhere in this section, tell your readers what the name of your book is and who the author is. Make sure you underline or italicize the title of your book, and make sure that every important word in your title starts with a capital letter. Tell what the genre of your book is and why you chose it.
13 Body This section is where you summarize or tell about the different parts in the book. Don t give out too many details. Remember that you are not rewriting the book. You are just giving your readers a basic idea of what the book is about. Do give enough information so that your readers won t feel lost when they read about your own thoughts on the book. If you are writing about a fiction book, you should include information on each of these components: Theme This is the main idea of the story. It is the overall message that the author is trying to tell through the use of characters and events in the story. An example of a theme might be: how courage can overcome natural disasters. Be sure to explain what you think the theme of the book is and why you think that is the theme. Setting The time and place in which a story takes place. Character(s) Who the story is about. The main character in a story is called the protagonist. Often times, there will be other characters in the book who either help or block the main character from accomplishing his/her goal. Plot This is what happens in the story from beginning, middle, to end. Every plot contains a conflict or problem that the main character must overcome. Be sure to explain what the conflict is.
14 The body of your book report is also where you tell about your own thoughts and feelings on the book. Some questions you might want to answer are: Did you like the book? Why or why not? Why did you choose to read this book? What was the most interesting thing about the book and why was it interesting? What was your favorite part of the book and why? Were you surprised by anything in the book? Why? Is the outcome of the story what you expected? Why? Would you recommend the book to others to read? Why or why not? Conclusion Use one or two sentences to briefly sum up your writing. Let your readers know what your final thought of the book is and what you will remember most about it.
