Introduction

Sometimes, we still can't figure out what we are reading and have to refer to another source. These are often called reference materials. We will review dictionaries and glossaries today.

Introduction

Hi readers! We are continuing to review story elements. Elements are the parts of a story. They make up almost every story that you read!

Today, we will be learning about settings. Settings are the time, place, weather, and culture of a story. Settings are important because they have an influence on the characters and the plot as you read.

Stop and Jot

In Your Notebook:  Read for 30 minutes from a fiction story of your choice. Answer the following questions:

What is the setting?

Why is the setting important?

If the setting changed, how would the story change?

Introduction

Today, we will be writing our introduction and conclusion. In the prompt, there are three bullet points that have to do with introductions and conclusions. They are highlighted below.

EXTENDED WRITING-RESPONSE WRITING TASK

Two of the most important documents in American history are the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation. Which document do you think was more important to America as a new nation?

Think about both sides of the discussion, and then write an opinion essay supporting either side. Explain your opinion, and give reasons to support it.

Be sure to use information from BOTH passages in your opinion essay.
