Unit 3, Weeks 3-4

*Fiction:

• Has made up characters, settings, & events

• Has a beginning, middle, & end

• Is sometimes told by a narrator instead of a character in a story

*Character Perspective: 

• Fiction stories will sometimes have a narrator that is not a character. It is called third-person point of view. The narrator can describe the perspectives of any character.

• Perspective is the character’s attitude or feelings about something. Third person point of view allows authors to describe how many characters feel. 

*Plot: Sequence of Events: 

• The sequence of events is the order that events happen in a story. We can use words like first, next, them, and last to tell the order of what happens.

• Authors use signal words and phrases such as at the beginning, before, in the meantime, and after to show the order of events. 

*Compound Words: 

• Words that are made up of two smaller words. The meanings of the smaller words help you figure out the meaning of compound word.

*Headings: 

• Expository text often have headings that separate a text into parts. They headings are usually printed in big, bold type.

• Headings help organize information in a way that makes it easy for the reader to understand.
