It provides an example of making inferences about the emotions and perspectives of characters in a cartoon based on visual clues and things left unsaid. The document encourages readers to practice making inferences to better understand implicit details and meanings in texts.
Supporting details
The document discusses main ideas and supporting details. The main idea of a story is its overall topic, which can be summarized in one sentence. Supporting details provide extra information and examples that help explain the main idea. They give readers a better understanding of the story by engaging one or more of the five senses. Identifying both the main idea and supporting details of a passage is important for comprehension.
Sentence Vs. Fragment
A complete sentence requires a subject, a predicate, and a complete thought that can stand alone. A sentence fragment is incomplete because it is missing a subject, verb, or both, or does not express a complete thought on its own. Dependent clauses are fragments that have a subject and verb but do not express a complete thought independently and need to be combined with an independent clause to form a complete sentence. Providing additional context or information can fix sentence fragments by making the thought complete.
Onomatopoeia
An onomatopoeia is a word that imitates or suggests the source of the sound that it makes. The document provides examples of onomatopoeic words like splash, boom, honk, moo, neigh, clap, waah, quack, shhh, ruuff, and meow that mimic the sounds made by things like water, thunder, cars, cows, horses, babies, ducks, kids, dogs, and cats. It includes a poem and exercises to help identify onomatopoeic words.
Personification
The document defines personification as giving human qualities to objects and animals. It explains that personification helps readers better visualize what an author is describing.

It concludes by asking readers to use personification to describe inanimate objects, like a dentist's chair or angry clouds.

Drawing conclusions powerpoint
The document discusses how to draw conclusions by using information that is already known combined with details learned from a story or situation. It provides examples of short passages and asks the reader to draw a conclusion based on contextual clues. In the examples, conclusions are correctly drawn that a hairy four-legged creature that likes walks is a dog, a round food covered in sauce and topped with meats is pizza, and a beach setting with people, seagulls, waves and smells of salt and food implies the location is a beach.
Apostrophe
The document discusses two main uses of apostrophes: forming contractions and showing possession. It provides examples of common contractions like don't and wouldn't which show where letters have been omitted. For possession, an apostrophe is added to the end of a noun to show it belongs to someone, like John's car. There are two rules for forming possessives - add only an apostrophe if the noun already ends in s, otherwise add 's. The document also briefly mentions a few other less common uses of apostrophes.

Freytags pyramid
Freytag's Pyramid is a model for plotting a story structure. It consists of seven stages: exposition introduces characters and setting, the inciting moment sets the rising action in motion, rising action builds conflict, the climax is the turning point, falling action follows the climax, resolution solves the conflict, and denouement ties up loose ends. Freytag's Pyramid is widely used to analyze story structure in drama and other forms of fiction.
Weather ms ppt 1997
Weather is the current state of the atmosphere. It can be gentle or fierce, bringing life or death. Various cultures have different names for weather phenomena like wind. Weather results from uneven heating of the Earth's surface, which causes warm air to rise and cold air to sink, driving global wind patterns. Local winds are caused by differences in land and sea temperatures. Air pressure, temperature, humidity, and wind speed all factor into weather conditions. Clouds form when water vapor condenses, and different cloud types signal upcoming weather. Weather maps depict fronts where air masses meet, indicating precipitation and storms.
