Background Information• Yeast is a fungus that digests foods

to get energy to grow. Yeast’s favorite food is sugar in its various forms—including the starches found in flour that is used to bake bread and other things.

• In bread dough made with yeast, yeast produces carbon dioxide gas. Because the gas cannot escape the stretchy, elastic dough, it causes the dough to inflate, or rise.

Reading the SelectionGenre – Mystery Elements of a mystery

An investigator investigates and solves the mystery.

Clues are scattered throughout the work.

The reader is given new clues only when the investigator finds them.

Red herrings, or clues leading to a false solution, are scattered among the useful clues.

There are multiple suspects.

All suspects seem to have alibis, or explanations that would have prevented them from causing the problem.

The single solution must be possible and believable, but should not be too obvious.

The solution must be revealed at the end.

Grammar, Usage, and MechanicsApostrophes in Contractions day 2

Doyle and Fossey don’t fool around when it comes to science.

Don’t is a contraction of the words do not. An apostrophe usually combines two words by taking the place of a missing letter or letters. In this case, the apostrophe takes the place of the letter o in not.

Apply: Write a couple of sentences using apostrophes in contractions and exchange the sentences with a partner to identify the contractions and verify correct usage.
