This week was another great week of learning. Our students learned about the three points of view that an author uses when they write a fictional story. Then we started learning how author’s use figurative language to add pizzazz to their stories, and finally, we looked for examples of similes with the story we read in class called, “Eleven” In addition, we found a lot of similes, personification, alliteration, and even hyperbole too using a strategy called guided highlighting. We ended off the week using our metacognition to understand the meanings of similes and made a list of ideas of personal experiences that we can write about getting ready for the personal narratives that we will start beginning to write next week.
We are looking forward to going with our 6th graders to Blakes Apple Orchard on Tuesday. Our 7th and 8th grader Web leaders will be taking the lead of making sure our 6th graders have a good time. The teachers are looking forward to it.
We will begin writing our narrative essays next week.
On Wednesday, October 24th, we will have a quiz on POV, Plot and story elements.
Here is the Study Guide, although each student received one in class already,
