Week 8 Distance Learning May 11-15

Week 8 Distance Learning: May 11- May 15 

 

Literature Essential Standards Focus Topics to Date: 

Main Idea- What the story/chapter is mostly about. 

Key Details-Supporting details that tell: How, When, What, Where, Why, How Much, and How Many. Refers to the Main Idea. 

Point of View- Who is telling the story?  

1st Person= Narrator uses “I” 

2nd Person= Narrator uses “YOU” 

3rd Person= Narrator uses the character's NAME or “HE”, “SHE”, or “THEY”. 

Reading and Note-Taking Skills- Preview the text to get the main idea. When you read something that confuses you, you need to stop and re-read. If you can tell someone about what you just read, then you are retaining the information. When you take notes, the main purpose is to write down the key ideas/details and create a system that works for you. Note-taking can be any or all of the following ideas.  Color-coding your notes, taking bullet notes on the text, writing main idea and key details, and highlighting vocabulary.
