ELL 2A Oct. 10-Oct. 21
Oct. 10-Oct. 21
During these two weeks, we learned more about the main idea of a narrative and the difference between the main idea and supporting details. The main idea describes the most important part of the story. It gives an overall idea of what the story is about. Details support the main idea.
We also learned about point of view in a narrative. First person point of view is when a character in the story is the narrator. He/she describes how he/she feels and what he/she thinks. The pronouns we usually see are “I, me, we, my, us, etc.” Second person point of view is when the narrator addresses the reader using pronouns like “you and your.” Third person point of view involves a narrator that is not a character in the story. He/she describes what the characters in the story do, feel, and think. The pronouns we see with third person point of view include “he, she, they, them, hers, his, etc.”

ELL 2A: Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes
9/19-9/23
This week in class, we read an excerpt from Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes and “The Missing Cat.” We discussed the plot of the story including what one should include when writing about plot. Plot includes the main events of the story including main characters, the problem, and the solution in order. We created a three square of the plot of the stories where we included the definition of plot, the plot of the story, and an illustration that represented the plot.
