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
Brother Martin” and other research

The steps used for research are also
helpful for reviewing texts and
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.
Note Taking
Record findings in an organized way,
such as a graphic organizer, a
summary, or an outline. Include
information about sources you used.
