Compare and Contrast
 Writers sometimes use

although, and however signal
comparisons and contrasts.
 Good readers notice the author’s
comparisons and contrasts and
make their own as they read.
Author’s Craft
 An author is the writer of any
piece of literature. An author is
not one of the characters in a
story, but creates the character,
even if the story is told in the
first person (using the pronoun I.)
Author’s Craft
 Authors choose what they will
write, how they will describe the
characters, and how long the story
will be.
 Authors of folk or fairy tales can
take old stories recorded long ago
and rewrite them using new words.
Suffixes
 When a suffix is added to a base
word, it changes the word’s
meaning.
 Use the suffixes in these words
from King Midas and the Golden
Touch to determine their
meanings.

Order Form/Application
 Have you ever ordered something

 Each requires filling out a form

Order Form/Application
 An order form is a chart a person
uses to purchase from a catalog or
advertisement. By completing the
form, the customer can purchase
merchandise.
 An application form is a means by
which a person can apply for a job
or a special school to which they
wish to be accepted.
Order Form/Application
 Both online or print order forms
and applications are complex, and
have cells or blanks that need to
be filled out carefully.
Order Form/Application
 Forms usually ask for a name,
address, and phone number. In
addition, an application may ask
for your qualifications, education,
or job history. On an order form,
you also need to indicate what is
to be purchased, and the cost.
