DAY
4
Remind students of the 
Visual Information
skill. Say: 
Authors can use maps to give directions, 
show locations, or accompany information that may be difficult to understand on its own. You 
are going to read about Henry Hudson. Use the map to better understand Hudson’s voyages.
Then remind students of the 
Organization
strategy. Encourage them to think about what the 
passage would be like without the map or vice versa. Then have students read the passage. When 
students have finished, direct them to complete the skill and strategy practice activities. Review 
the answers together.
DAY
5
Tell students they will practice both the 
Nonfiction Text Features
and 
Visual Information
skills as 
they read a Web page about Oregon museums. Say: 
Think about why Web pages show different 
fonts, links, or pictures. 
Remind students of the
 Determine Important Information
strategy. Say: 
Think about what you look for when visiting one of your favorite Web pages. Which features 
usually help you find the information you are seeking? Use that knowledge while studying the 
Web page for Oregon museums.
When students have finished reading, direct them to complete 
the skill and strategy practice activities. Review the answers together.
Nonfiction Text Features
Students practice identifying and comprehending common features of 
nonfiction text.
Visual Information
