There's no video for you today, but I will have one tomorrow for your last day! Today you will watch the BrainPOP video about the elements of a story. After you watch the video, I want you to pick a book you have read this year and tell me the 5 parts of your book that are described in the video. Tell me the title of your book, then start with the introduction that lists the characters and setting. Next comes the rising action that is building to the the main conflict. The climax is the big action moment when everything is resolved. The falling action is the events leading to the conclusion, and the conclusion is how the story ends. I will do an example for you using Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH.
Introduction- We meet Mrs. Frisby and her children and discover that her son, Timothy is very ill.
Rising Action- Mrs. Frisby goes on a search for a way to help her son Timothy. With the help of the owl, she learns the rats can help her. The rats, we learn, are very intelligent and were friends with her husband. They create a plan to move Mrs. Frisby's house to a safe place to save Timothy.
Climax- Mrs. Frisby is captured, but Justin helps her escape, and they move her house to safety.
Falling Action- The rats learn that someone is coming to exterminate them and they create a plan to get everyone to safety. Two rats die, but all the other rats make it to Thorn Valley.
Conclusion- Mrs. Frisby and her family are all healthy and safe and the rats are off making a new life in Thorn Valley.
Grammar/Writing
Please make sure you have included the edits/revisions that I suggested in order to create the final draft of your compare & contrast paper. Like I mentioned in our Zoom meeting, this will be your last writing test grade, so let's finish strong! Also, make sure you completed the classwork that was assigned yesterday. It was titled, "Closing out 4th Grade". I will be emailing you tomorrow if I am missing any assignments from you, so check your school email once or twice throughout the day. :)
