Mrs. Lee's Literacy Lovers
- C. S. Lewis
Hey there, students and parents! I hope you are enjoying your long weekend. :) This week in reading, we will be discussing a few pieces of informational text about something I know you all love to talk about...money! Within these texts are two very important skills. The first is the author's point of view, more specifically his/her perspective. Does their writing have a positive tone? Negative tone? Neutral tone? Biased tone? We can find this information by looking at the word usage that an author uses in their writing. PLEASE check out the videos below for some awesome examples and tips on mastering this skill. We will also be talking about the roots of words once again, as well as prefixes and suffixes. I have included two video links below that I think you will LOVE (FYI: If you like Harry Potter and/or hip-hop music, you will enjoy these!!) If your child is in my language class, we will be talking about comma splices and run-on sentences as well as how to correct those issues. Spelling Words: brother-in-law, nearsighted, heartbeat, science fiction, self-respect, fingernail, after-school, northwest, seaweed, wading pool, full-time, eyelid, old-fashioned, windshield, seashell, question mark, watermelon, all-star, teenager, twenty-five Vocabulary available - ready for use or purchase basically - "in the main or most important ways" factors - things that contribute to a result fluctuate - "to move back and forth or up and down" formula - a rule or method for doing something inventory - the amount of goods or products that is available manufactured - Items that are manufactured are made by machines, often in large numbers. salaries - the amounts of money workers earn for doing a job Helpful Links Root Word Rap Root Words in Harry Potter Author's Point of View tips and tricks Author's POV Tips and Tricks, part 2 The Story of P.
