Prepositional phrases — bring the words back

Teacher edition · Grade 4 · Lesson 29 · blocked

The little words carry the relation.

1. MATCH

Draw a line from each academic word to the everyday word that means about the same.

in relation to — compared with

on the basis of — using

with regard to — about

in the case of — for

in contrast to — unlike

for the purpose of — in order to

MATCH — watch forRecognition only. A child can do this by elimination without meaning anything by the word, which is why it is rung one and not the whole sheet.

2. CHOOSE

Fill each gap with the right word. Word bank: for the purpose of, in contrast to, in relation to, in the case of, on the basis of, with regard to.

Word bank: for the purpose of, in contrast to, in relation to, in the case of, on the basis of, with regard to.

in relation to the oak, the fern is small.

We chose on the basis of size.

with regard to water, plants differ.

in the case of cactus, little water is needed.

in contrast to the oak, the pine stays green.

for the purpose of the test, we used sand.

CHOOSE — watch forPRACTICE MODE: blocked. All gaps come from today's set.

3. FRAME

Finish each sentence.

Expect the FULL sentence on the line, not just the missing word. A one-word answer is incomplete — ask for it again.

Because ___, the in relation to ___.

Because rain, the in relation to rain.one possible answer — accept any full sentence that uses the word properly

We use in relation to when ___.

We use in relation to when rain.one possible answer — accept any full sentence that uses the word properly

FRAME — watch forThe release to independence. Today's scaffold is “partial”, and it shrinks each time this unit returns until there is no frame at all — the child should be able to feel it coming off.

4. PRODUCE

Write your own sentences using the academic words. Target: 1 paragraph (7–9 sentences). A + means more than one sentence in that slot. You may use the frame for two of your three. Try the third without it.

PRODUCE — watch forThe printed target is the LOTF move: the child can see what a full answer looks like instead of guessing how much is enough. The Today's frame ration is 2 — say it aloud, and say BOTH halves: the frame is there if they need it, and it is better writing without it.
