Today we will learn about: Build Concept Vocabulary Plot Idioms Context Clue Grammar: Contractions and Negatives Spelling: Prefixes: un-, dis-, and in Card Catalog/Database Inquiry
Literary Elements: Plot A plot, or underlying story structure, is found only in fiction. A plot begins when a character has a problem or conflict. The problem builds up during the rising action, is met directly at the climax, and comes to an end, as the action winds down, during the resolution.
An Idioms idiom is a phrase or expression whose meaning cannot be understood from the ordinary meaning of the words that form it. Context clues will sometimes help you figure out the meaning of an idiom. Some idioms can be found in a dictionary by looking up a keyword contained in the idiom.
Context Text Synonyms are words that mean the same or about the same. Antonyms are words that are opposites. A synonym or an antonym may appear as a context clue near an unfamiliar word.
Context Text Reread the last paragraph on page 494 and look for a synonym for the word leaked. Choose other story words, use a thesaurus to find a synonym and antonym for each word, and write sentences that include the story word and a synonym or antonym.
