Hi grammarians! We learned about pronouns way back in Module 2, so we are going to be reviewing!

Pronouns are words that replace nouns.

Today, we will review the relative pronouns "which" and "that."

Visual

Which refers to animals and objects.
That refers to people, things, and animals.

In Your Notebook: Write two sentences that use "which" and "that" as relative pronouns.

READING

Introduction

This week our focus is going to be on text structures. Author's use text structure to organize and focus their text. Today, we will be focusing on the chronological text structure.

Compare and contrast texts are when the author is sharing similarities and differences between two or more topics.
