How do we meet the challenges of learning?
Today we will learn about:
Build Concept VocabularyCharacter and PlotPoint of View Word StructureGrammar: Four Kinds of SentencesSpelling: Short Vowel VCCV, VCVDictionary/GlossaryChallenges in Education
Character and Plot
Plot refers to the important events in a story.
Characters are the people in the story.
Point of View
The perspective from which an author tells a story is called point of view.
Who the author chooses to tell the story determines what we learn about the characters and their actions.
Point of View
In first-person point of view, words such as I and me show that the narrator is a character in the story.
Point of View
In third-person point of view, the narrator is not a character in the story. The writer uses words such as he, she, it, and they to tell about characters.
Authors sometimes mix points of view within a story.
SuffixesWe can use our knowledge of suffixes to determine the meanings of longer words.
The suffixes –tion, -ation, and –ment turn verbs into nouns.
Complete the chart. Then add to the chart other words you know that fit this pattern.
SuffixesVerb + Suffix = Noun New Meaning
