This document provides examples of text features found in nonfiction texts and how they help readers understand and locate information. It defines text features such as titles, subtitles, tables of contents, glossaries, maps, diagrams, timelines, photographs and captions. Each of these features helps readers in different ways such as identifying main topics, dividing text into sections, locating specific information, reinforcing understanding, and providing visual context. Students are then instructed to identify examples of text features in a sample article and create a poster explaining how those features help readers.
Teach students how to identify an author's purpose with this interactive presentation. Designed specifically for intermediate and middle school students.
This document discusses inferences and how readers make inferences when reading. It explains that making inferences involves taking clues from the text and combining them with your own background knowledge to picture what is happening beyond just the explicit words. 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.
There are four types of characterization: physical description, speech and actions, direct narrator comment, and other characters' speech and actions. There are also four types of characters: round characters who are complex and develop, dynamic characters who change over the story, flat characters described by one or two traits, and static characters who don't change. Major characters are usually round or three-dimensional, changing as a result of events, while minor characters are often flat or two-dimensional, lacking depth or balance. The protagonist is the main character, the antagonist opposes the protagonist, and a foil provides a contrast to the protagonist.
Plot is the structure of a story that shows characters in action. It begins with a character having a problem or conflict. As the rising action builds, events happen as the character tries to solve the problem. The plot reaches a climax when the problem is met, answering how or why the problem happened. It ends with a resolution where the problem is solved slowing down the action. A story mountain is a graphic organizer that shows the sequence of plot parts like a house, with a foundation, walls, roof, and extras to complete the structure and movement of the story.

The document discusses the three main purposes an author may have for writing: to persuade, to inform, or to entertain. It defines each purpose and provides examples. It encourages readers to consider the author's purpose when analyzing a text by asking questions about the intent and techniques used. The key purposes are to persuade by convincing the reader of a viewpoint, to inform by providing factual information to educate, and to entertain by telling an interesting story for enjoyment.
The document provides information on key elements of narratives, including personal narratives, fictional narratives, character, setting, conflict, plot, and theme. It discusses the different types of narratives and focuses that can be taken (a single moment in one's own life or a fictional character's life). It also outlines the main components that make up narratives, such as the main characters, where the story takes place, what problem or challenge the characters face, the series of events that moves the story forward, and the overall message or insight about life. The document uses examples from Disney's Mulan to illustrate how these different narrative elements are incorporated into a well-known story.
1) The opening of a story is important to set the tone and hook the reader to keep reading.
2) Successful openings introduce characters, setting, or pose a question to invite the reader to learn more.
3) Examples from popular books demonstrate different types of effective openings, such as describing characters, settings, including dialogue or action, or asking a question.

A non-chronological report provides factual information about a topic in a logical order rather than chronological sequence. It uses an opening paragraph to introduce the topic, organizes notes into main ideas with each in a separate paragraph, and may include sub-headings. Descriptive language and facts are presented in the third person without personal pronouns. The closing paragraph summarizes key points.
The document defines vocabulary words from Act 1 of Romeo and Juliet, including adversary, which describes the Montagues as enemies of the Capulets; anguish, which Juliet felt when learning she had to marry Paris; and apothecary, the pharmacist Romeo went to for herbs to cure his headache. Other words defined are belligerent, boisterous, disposition, nimble, nuptial, and semblance.
The setting provides context for the story by describing the time of day, weather, and location. It brings the story to life by engaging the reader's senses through descriptive details about what can be seen, heard, tasted, smelled, and touched. The setting also helps establish the atmosphere by using adjectives that can make an ordinary place seem scary, fun, or silly. For example, describing a dark and cold kitchen creates a scary atmosphere rather than an ordinary one.
The document provides guidance on identifying the main idea and supporting details of a text. It explains that every story or paragraph has a main idea, which is the most important part and tells what the story is about. Supporting details describe and provide examples for the main idea to make it stronger. Examples are provided of passages and questions are asked to identify the main idea and supporting details.
This document defines inference and how to make inferences when reading. Inference is using clues from a text along with prior knowledge to determine what is implied but not directly stated. To make an inference, a reader analyzes story clues, facts and their own background knowledge. The document provides an example where readers can infer it is Mother's Day based on clues that children are making breakfast for their mother on a Sunday morning in a special way once a year. Inference differs from prediction in that inferences made may or may not be resolved by a story's end, while predictions will be proven.
The document defines key elements and literary devices used in short stories, including plot, characters, conflict, setting, theme, and point of view. It explains concepts like the protagonist and antagonist, external and internal conflict, characterization techniques, and types of narration. Literary devices are also defined, such as foreshadowing, suspense, irony, and complications that add complexity to stories.
This document defines and provides examples of different types of figurative language including simile, metaphor, personification, hyperbole, onomatopoeia, idiom, pun, and oxymoron. It explains that a simile directly compares two things using like or as, while a metaphor makes a comparison without those words. Personification gives human traits to non-human objects or ideas. Hyperbole exaggerates to emphasize feeling, while understatement does the opposite. Onomatopoeia are words that imitate sounds. Idioms and puns use double meanings rather than literal definitions. An oxymoron combines contradictory terms.

This document defines and provides examples of the five basic story elements: characters, setting, problem, solution, and theme. It explains that characters are the people or objects in a story, while setting refers to where and when the story takes place. The problem is the situation the characters face, and the solution is how they resolve the problem. Finally, the theme or moral is the overall idea or lesson of the story. Examples are given for each element to illustrate common types found in stories. The reader is encouraged to look for these elements when analyzing any story.
This document discusses comparing and contrasting topics by finding their similarities and differences. It provides an example of comparing frogs and ducks, noting they both hatch from eggs and make noises, but frogs use their back legs to swim and hibernate in winter while ducks use webbed feet and a beak to eat fish or pond grass. Another example compares characters Harry and Hermione, noting they are both wizards who go to Hogwarts but Harry was born a half-blood wizard while Hermione was born a Muggle. The document introduces comparing and contrasting and provides two short examples.
Consonant digraphs are two or three letters that make one sound rather than two sounds like blends. Common consonant digraphs include ch, tch, sh, th, and wh. The document provides examples of words containing these digraphs and instructions for students to sound out and sort the spelling words containing digraphs.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges.
