Question of the Day
How can words change
people’s lives?
Today we will learn about:
 Concept Vocabulary
 Cause and Effect
 Point of View
 Word Structure
 Grammar: Conjunctions
 Spelling: Schwa
 Note Taking
 Equal Opportunities
Cause and Effect
 The effect is what happens. The
cause is why it happens.
 Clue words such as because, so,
therefore, and as a result can
signal causes and effects.
Cause and Effect
 Sometimes one effect becomes
the cause of another effect,
which causes another, and so on.
This is called a chain of events.
Point of View
 The perspective from which an
author tells a story is called point
of view.
 In first-person point of view, a
character in the story narrates,
using I or we. The reader is
limited to this person’s thoughts
and experiences.
Point of View
 In third-person point of view, the
narrator is an outsider who tells
relevant information about all the
characters, using he, she, or they.
Word Structure: Endings
 The endings –ed or –ing may be
added to verbs to show when the
action takes place and the endings –s
may be added to a noun to make it
plural.
 You can figure out the meanings of
words with endings by finding and
thinking about the meaning of the
base word.
Word Structure: Endings
 Record verbs with –ed and –ing
endings and nouns with –s endings
you find in “My Brother Martin.”
 Identify the base word and use each
word form in a sentence.
 Some plural nouns end in –es.

to prepare a report on Martin Luther
King Jr. using information from “My

preparing for tests.
Note Taking
 As you read, or listen to electronic
media sources, take notes to help
you understand and remember the
content.
 Notes should be brief and focus on
the most important information.
Use keywords, phrases, or short
sentences.
Note Taking
 Paraphrase, or restate, someone
else’s ideas using your own words.
 Synthesize, or combine, information
from different parts of the text or
from two or more texts. Look for
ideas that go together. Add your
own thoughts.
