Body Paragraph 2 + Embedding Pattern 2 + Greek/Latin Roots Part 1

Objectives
  • Students draft body paragraph 2 using CEW.
  • Students apply EMBEDDED QUOTATION pattern 2 (introduce with 'that', no comma).
  • Students learn first 4 Greek/Latin roots from extension wheel (SPEC, VIS, AUD, TERRA).

Lesson plan

Warm-up

5 min

Teacher reads body 2 from a sample literary essay using PATTERN 2 (introduce with 'that'). Children identify the embedding choice.

Teacher moves
  • Read aloud
  • Ask 'what's different about how the quote is introduced?'
  • Note pattern 2 has no comma after 'that'

Direct instruction

18 min

Today you draft BODY PARAGRAPH 2 with a NEW embedding pattern AND meet 4 new Greek/Latin roots. EMBEDDING PATTERN 2 (from MG-5): introduce with the word 'that' — NO COMMA before the quote. 'Ryan writes that Esperanza lifted Pepe and softly sang (Ryan 2000, 178).' Note: PATTERN 1 had a comma ('Ryan writes, "___"'). PATTERN 2 has no comma ('Ryan writes that ___'). Pattern 2 also tends to PARAPHRASE part of the quote — the 'that' converts the quote into reported speech. Pattern 1 is more direct; Pattern 2 is more integrated. Strong essays use BOTH patterns. Watch teacher draft body 2 on Esperanza sweeping. CLAIM: 'Second, Esperanza shows resilience through public dignity.' EVIDENCE (PATTERN 2): 'Ryan writes that Esperanza swept her own platform at the train station — a task that would have been done by servants in her old life (Ryan 2000, 156).' WARRANT: 'This moment reveals dignity because Esperanza claims the labor as her own rather than hiding from it. She has lost servants but kept her sense of self.' Now meet 4 new roots from MG-14: SPEC (Latin = look) — spectator, inspect, perspective, spectacle. VIS (Latin = see) — visual, visible, vision, supervise. AUD (Latin = hear) — audience, audio, audible, auditorium. TERRA (Latin = earth) — terrain, terrarium, territory, terrace. Combined with G5-fall's 12, you now have 16 of 20 roots.

Key examples
  • Notice: PATTERN 2 paraphrases part of the quoted material. The 'that' integrates the source's voice into the writer's own.
    model See narrative.
    prompt Teacher drafts body 2 with PATTERN 2 embedded quotation.
  • Notice: SPEC (look) and VIS (see) overlap — both about visual perception, but SPEC implies looking AT, VIS implies seeing.
    model SPEC/VIS/AUD/TERRA each with 4 example words.
    prompt Teacher shows 4 new roots with examples.
Checks for understanding
  • What is the difference between pattern 1 and pattern 2 embedding?
  • Name a root that means 'hear' and 1 example word.

Guided practice

22 min
Tasks
  • Draft YOUR body paragraph 2 using CEW. Use PATTERN 2 embedding (introduce with 'that'). Add warrant.
    scaffold MG-3, MG-5
  • Use each of 4 new roots (SPEC, VIS, AUD, TERRA) in a sentence about your literary essay topic.
    scaffold MG-14 extension wheel; root card deck (4 cards)
  • Pair-share. Partner asks: 'Is your pattern 2 embedding clear? Is your warrant doing analytical work?'

Greek/Latin roots extension wheel (8 new roots, building on G5-fall's 12): wheel with 8 wedges. SPEC (Latin = look — spectator, inspect, perspective). VIS (Latin = see — visual, visible, vision). AUD (Latin = hear — audience, audio, audible). TERRA (Latin = earth — terrain, terrarium, territory). AQUA (Latin = water — aquarium, aquatic, aqueduct). SOL (Latin = sun — solar, solstice, parasol). LUN (Latin = moon — lunar, lunatic, lunation). MULTI (Latin = many — multiple, multitude, multimedia). Bottom rule: 'Combined with fall roots (bio, geo, photo, graph, scope, port, dict, scrib, struct, tele, auto, phon), you now know 20 roots.' Print-ready 11x17.

Formative assessment

4 min
Exit ticket
  • Show body 2 with PATTERN 2 embedding marked.
  • List 1 example word for each of 4 new roots.
scoring Body 2 with pattern 2 + 4 root examples = mastery; partial = practicing; reteach.

Closure

3 min
Moves
  • Star your strongest pattern 2 embedding.
  • Predict: tomorrow we draft body 3.

  • Adult scribe for body 2
  • Pre-built pattern 2 frame
  • Reduced target: pattern 2 conversion only

Teacher notes

Pattern 2 embedding is initially harder than pattern 1 because it requires partial paraphrase — children must decide what to quote directly vs. what to paraphrase. Push for at least one pattern 2 in every literary essay. The roots extension begins today; the 8 new roots reach completion in lesson 17. Combined with fall's 12, the 20-root toolkit becomes a meaningful decoder for unfamiliar vocabulary in G6 reading.
