Question of the Day

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

define -tion definition making clear the meaning of a word

Dictionary/Glossary

Where would you look to find the meaning of a word you don’t know?

A dictionary lists all words in alphabetical order.

A specialized dictionary lists words in a particular field or language in alphabetical order.

Dictionary/Glossary

A dictionary entry includes the word, its pronunciation, parts of speech, and meaning. If a word has more than one meaning, the dictionary entry will include all meanings.

An online dictionary is an electronic resource found on the Internet.

Dictionary/Glossary

A book may include a glossary at the back of it with important words used in the book.
