help readers understand what these designs look like. Since the illustration is included, think 
about visualizing a different element of the passage. For example, think about what someone 
would have looked like carrying the shield and wearing the helmet shown as they went into 
battle. When students have finished reading the passage, have them complete the strategy practice 
activity on a separate sheet of paper. Invite volunteers to display and explain their heraldic designs. 
Then have students complete the skill practice activity. Review the answers together. 
DAY

Remind students of the 
Visualization 
strategy. Say: Some authors put information into graphic 
organizers to help readers better understand similarities and differences between two or more 
subjects. 
Point to the chart. Say: 
This author has organized information about diseases into a 
chart. Which section do you think will help you best visualize people who have contracted the 
diseases? 
(symptoms) 
Have students read the instructions at the top of the page and the chart. 
When students have finished reading, direct them to complete the strategy and skill practice 
activities. Review the answers together.
DAY
5
Remind students of the 
Visualization
strategy. Say: This author has included an illustration to go 
along with the directions for how to make a solar oven. The illustration shows you what the oven 
looks like when complete, but you will need to visualize the instructions on your own. 
Remind 
students to try to use other senses as they create mental images. Say:
 Think about how things 
smell, feel, and look. When students have finished reading, direct them to complete the strategy 
and skill practice activities. Review the answers together.
