The Essential vocabulary Fire-Up
Pt.1

1. Hyperbole

2. Setting

Hyperbole- a phrase that exaggerates the truth.

-Example: The whole world went to the pool party!

-This phrase is exaggerating because 1.) the whole world can't come to one pool party at the same time there won't be enough space for everyone. 2.) They are saying that a lot of people went to a pool party.

Setting - The place and time frame in which the story is taking place.

-Example: I woke up somewhere where there was shade and lots of trees. There was cool air blowing softly on my face. Then I knew I was in a forest.

-These sentences are telling you what the character is seeing for you to make a setting in your head and image a place where the story will take place.

Pt.2
1.) Protonigst
2.) Rising Action
Protagonist means the main character in the story.

And example is in the book “The Iron King” the main character is Meghan Chase. She is the one who is being narrated by her actions.

Rising Action - Parts in which the story starts to build and get intense for the climax.

-Example: I was walking up the stair when I heard a noise coming from the attic. I was trying to convince myself it was nothing, But what if it is something. I had the urge to run to my room and lock it. Maybe there was someone in the attic and they could hear me run and scream. I had to check. I went to the stairs for the atic slowly walking slowly turning the doorknob so it doesn't creak, slowly walking in then I saw him. The creature hiding inside the cage. Looking at me with its sharp yellow eyes.

Character to my character I think I most improved on grammar and spelling. Over the year I have practice my grammar with NoRedInk and my spelling with Vocabulary.com the spelling test. I also improved on giving character to my characters. I also have improved on showing not telling in my writing.

World Wednesday! What Has impacted you in a class throughout the Year?

The topic I learned  that impacted me a lot is when I read a book in the beginning of the school year, I am Malala. I read this book during study hall on Friday's and when I wasn’t doing homework and that was then when I learned that women in different places in the world are treated differently than men. That shifted my perspective from one place to another. I thought that people treated the same they had the same rights. When we did research about Women’s History Month I then saw that some jobs didn’t let women in. When women tried to stand up for themselves. That sounded weird to me since now it is different. Women can be part of different  jobs, but that is in the US now think how it would be in different places in the world. How different would it be?

In the beginning of the year Mrs. Millikan assigned us a document (that now is called a Fire-Works Document) We were suppose to answers a short and simple question "How do we become better readers and writers"

Fire-Place

Date 8/24/16

Title: Workshop 1

Response:

I think the way to be a better reader writer, thinker is to practice. We always hear the saying “Practice makes perfect!” so then we practice and practice until we are good at it. So it is the same for reading, writing and, thinking. I also think we can be better is to set our minds on it. If we think negative we can’t, or if we think “I can do this” then we are able to succeed.
