You will go through all lessons (grammar, reading, and writing).

GRAMMAR

Introduction

We will be reviewing figurative language this week. Often, authors use figurative language to help connect a reader to the text and help us understand or think deeply about a text. Figurative language is not literal. It can't be taken for its word. We have to think about what the author intends for it to mean and connect it back to our world!

A type of figurative language that authors sometimes use is a simile.

A 'simile' compares two things using the words 'like' and 'as'. She is as tall as a giraffe. I am as hungry as a hippo. The baby looks like a doll.

READING

Introduction

^{Hi readers! We will be reviewing point of view of fiction texts. When we are reading, point of view matters. In fourth grade, you learn about two points of view:}

^{1st person - where a character is telling the story in their own point of view. These narrators are often not as reliable because they are biased and can only give one perspective.}

^{3rd person - where a narrator is telling the story as if watching it happen. Often it seems as though the narrator is following around a main character and telling us their every move.}
