Yearbook was given the option to re-take their test today. If they got a higher score on this test, it would override their lower score from before.
Period 3/4, 5/6, 7/8
All periods reviewed their "Year in Review."
This means that all students had the chance to fill in all of their papers with the correct answers, which I will list below:
Adverb Review
An adverb is a word or phrase that qualifies or modifies an
adjective, state, or verb, or a word group expressing a relation of place.
One adverb that does not end in –ly is: quite, then, there
Sample Sentence: I carefully
carried my baby sister to her crib.
Preposition Review
A preposition is a word that
relates a noun or a pronoun to another word in a sentence.
Under, on, around, outside, inside,
before, underneath, in, between, below, out of
Sample sentence: I will kick all
talkative students outside of this class.
Sentence Review:
A complete sentence requires three
things: Subject, verb, and it must express a complete thought or feeling.
The subject of a sentence is what
the sentence is about.
The predicate of a sentence is what
the subject is doing in the sentence.
Summary Review:
Before I even begin writing a
summary, I should REREAD THE STORY! Highlight the main parts and the important
points or events.
The 4 things I should have in a
summary are: who, what, where, when. Who is in the story, what happened, where
did it take place, and when did it take place?
Theme & Subject:
The subject of a story is what the
author is writing about! YAY!
The theme is the opinion that the
reader develops about what the author wrote about.
Themes must not be too specific to the story, but must be universal : applicable to all mankind.
Vocabulary:
Barren, vinyl, vacancy, stifling,
desolate, condemn, defective, scowl, gully, penetrate, PICK THREE!
Character Traits Review:
Stanley’s character traits are: courageous,
nice, helpful, respectful, brave, loyal, caring, positive
Write this down: Stanley’s main
character trait is his positivity. If Stanley was a negative character then
Zero would not have learned to read because Stanley wouldn’t care. If Zero had
not learned to read, he would not have dug Stanley’s holes. And if Zero had not
dug Stanley’s holes, Zero would not have run away. Stanley would never have
gone after Zero, because Stanley would have assumed that Zero was dead.
Plot Review:
There are five plot elements,
starting from the beginning: Exposition/Introduction, Rising Action, Climax,
Falling Action, Resolution! Hurray!
Rising action builds up right
before the climax.
Reading Review:
“The Seventy-Mile Kid” by Tom
Walker. It is about a man who comes up from the 48 States and becomes a famous
dog musher in Alaska.
Conflict Review:
External Conflict
Character vs. character
Character vs. society
Character vs. nature
Internal Conflict
Character vs. self
