How is knowledge a resource?

Today we will learn about:Build Concept VocabularySequence Simile/MetaphorDictionary/Glossary Grammar: AdverbsSpelling: Prefixes bi-, tri-, uni-, semi-EncyclopediaLiteracy

SequenceSequence refers to the order of events or the steps of a process.

Dates, times, and clue words such as first, next, then, and last can help you determine the order of events.

Sometimes a text will present events out of order. In this case, you can read on, review, or reread the text in order to learn the correct sequence of events.

Simile/MetaphorSimiles and metaphors are comparisons of two unlike things, concepts, or people.

A simile states that A is like or as B.

A metaphor is a more direct comparison that states A is B.

Dictionary/GlossaryWhen you come across an unfamiliar word in a story, you can use a dictionary or glossary to find its meaning.

Use a dictionary or glossary to complete a chart showing the definitions. Apply these meanings to the context of The House of Wisdom.
