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.
Week of 9/19-9/23
In class, we read ” A House of My Own” by Sandra Cisneros, and we applied our understanding of setting, theme, characters, and main idea to the text. We created a foldable for all four story elements. We learned the following vocabulary words from the text:
