Social Studies

• What does the word Loyal mean to you? • How do you think that relates to the word • Loyalist? Watch the below video to see if

you are right! • Review• http://education-portal.com/academy/lesson/british-loyalists-vs-american-patriots-during-the-american-revolution.html#le

Social StudiesLook through the book (Chapter 11) and

find two reasons/ arguments why a colonist would join the Loyalist and why they should join the Patriots.

You will find support for the Loyalist and support for the Patriots.

After you have found support for both sides you will pick a side and write a paragraph telling why.

Narrative Perspective

Author’s Point of View

Identifying Narrative Perspective

It's about the narrator (who tells the story)

We're not looking at dialogue.

We don't care what characters say.

Only the narrator's voice matters.

Pronoun Case

First-Person I, me, my, mine, we, us, ours,

Second-Person you, your

Third-Person he, she, her, they, them(also character's names)

We are trying to figure out the narrator's view point on the story.

Perspectives and Signal Words

Secret

“I am in the room”

I = 1st Person

“You come in the room.”

You = 2nd Person

“Then he or she came in the room.”

He or She = 3rd Person

First-PersonNarrator is a part of the story (character).

Often uses I or we.

Example

I went home. Tim came over. I couldn't play.

Advantage to 1st Person• Readers see events from character’s point of view.

• Readers understand characters better.

Second-Person

Usually for instructions

Uses “You”; from “your” perspective and presents commands

Examples

First, gather your materials. Add 1 cup sugar to flour.

Third-Person• Narrator usually isn’t involved.• Tells other's stories.• Lots of “He,” “She,” & character names.• Advantage: Readers are able to see the

thoughts of all characters.

Three Types of Third-Person Narration

Does the narrator tell…

Third-Person Omniscient

Narrator is all knowing.Narrator tells thoughts and feelings of

more than one character.

Omni = All Scient = Knowing

ExampleTim was mad at Shay. He blamed her. Shay knew Tim would be mad, but she wanted to live her life.

Third-Person Limited

Narrator is limited to one character.

Tells thoughts & feelings of one character

Example

Tim was mad at Shay. He blamed her. Shay just left without saying anything. She left a note and then left him.

Third-Person Objective

Narrator does not reveal any character’s thoughts or feelings.

Only character’s dialogue and actions are narrated.

ExampleTim slammed the door. He walked upstairs & read a note from Shay. He kicked her trash can & started crying.

Tips on Identifying

• Check 1st or 2nd-person before worrying about objective, limited, or omniscient.

• Ask, “Who’s story is the narrator telling: his, mine, or someone else’s?”

• Focus on narration not dialogue.

Practice

1. Read the following passages.

2. Determine the narrator’s perspective.

3. Write down your answer.

1

When I was four months old, my mother died suddenly and my father was left to look after me all by himself… I had no brothers or sisters. So through boyhood, from the age of four months onward, there was just us two, my father and me. We lived in an old gypsy caravan behind a filling station”

2 The huge man dropped his blankets and flung himself down and drank from the surface of the green pool. The small man stepped behind him. "Lennie!" he said sharply. "Lennie, for God" sakes don’t drink so much." Lennie continued to snort into the pool. The small man leaned over and shook him by the shoulder. "Lennie you gonna be sick like you was last night." Lennie dipped his whole head under, hat and all… "Tha’s good," he said. "You drink some, George." He smiled happily

3

Foresight in Relationships

The previous night, make your plans for the next day and write them down… If you attend an exclusive Samurai’s party and feel timid, you cannot do your part in making it a successful party. You had first better prepare by convincing yourself that you will have a grand time. And you should feel grateful for the invitation.

Harold Davis took a deep breath and slowly started to peel the gauze from the wound on his grandmother’s leg. “Hold on, Grandma. I’m almost done,” He said quietly. “Don’t worry, baby. It doesn’t hurt too much,” she quietly replied. “Just take your time.” Harold glanced up at his grandmother lying on the couch. He could tell she was in pain from the way she gripped the cushions, but still she managed to smile back at him.

5They were standing under a tree, each

with an arm round the other's neck, and Alice knew which was which in a moment, because one of them had "DUM" embroidered on his collar, and the other "DEE." "I suppose they've each got "TWEEDLE" round at the back of the collar," she said to herself. They stood so still that she quite forgot they were alive, and she was just looking round to see if the word "TWEEDLE" was written at the back of each collar, when she was startled by a voice coming from the one marked "DUM."

Guided Practice: Let’s Practice Writing from different perspectives

First Person Point-of-View: This is where the narrator (person telling the story) is one of the characters in the story itself. This is also referred to as the “I” Point-of-View.

Example: I knew when class started that I was in trouble because I had not finished my homework.

Activity: Now, you write a sentence about your best friend using First Person Point-of-View.

Second Person Point-of-View: This where the narrator is speaking directly to the reader. This is not used often except for instruction manuals and recipes, etc.. This is also referred to as the “You” Point-of-View.

Example: You need to measure the flour to be sure there is only one-half of a cup.

Activity: Now, you write a sentence instructing the reader to finish their homework.

Third Person Limited Point-of-View: This is where the narrator is completely outside the story, but knows the thoughts an d feelings of one or two of the characters. This is also referred to as the “He, She, It” Point-of-View.

Example: Bill was very sorry that he had lied to George, but he was afraid that George would hate him.

Activity: Now, you write a sentence telling the story of how a student does not like the cafeteria food.

Practice Continued: Third Person Omniscient Point-of-View: This is where the narrator is completely

outside the story, but knows the thoughts and feelings

of most or all of the characters in the story. This is also referred to as the “He, She, It Knows Everything” Point-of View.

Example: Sue was so happy to have won the spelling bee that she raced home to tell her parents. Her brother, Bobby, was unhappy that he had gotten a C on an essay that same day.

Activity: Now, you write a couple of sentences showing how upset two students were over a pop-quiz they had in Algebra.

Third Person Objective Point-of-View: This is where the narrator is completely outside the story, and presents the story without presenting the thoughts or feelings of any of the characters.

Examples: Billy’s mom drove him to the movies where he met his friends. They saw an action movie.

Activity: Now, you write a sentence about a funny movie or story

Adding and Subtracting Decimals

NS 1.0 Solve problems involving addition and subtraction of

decimals.

To add decimals

• Line up the decimal points and add the columns from right to left.

• Place a decimal point in the answer directly below the other decimal points.

Example 10.64 + 0.39

Line up the decimal points.

0.64 + 0.39 __________________________

Add the columns. 0.64

+ 0.39 __________________________

1.03

Example 2

5.74 + 3.3Line up the decimal points. 5.74 + 3.3 _____________________________

Add the columns. 5.74 + 3.3 _____________________________

9.04

To subtract decimals

• Line up the decimal points.• Subtract the columns from right to left,

regrouping if necessary.• Place a decimal point in the answer

directly below the other decimal points.

Example 10.86 – 0.49

Line up the decimal points0.86

- 0.49 __________________________

Regroup the tenths. Subtract the columns.

0.86 - 0.49 __________________________

167

0.37

Practice

1) 8.57 – 1.65
