Magical Root Words
We're going to learn some roots this year.
Greek and Latin roots are present in soooo many words in our world. They have meanings, and help give us clues about what the whole word means.
Today we're going to learn about "lum/lumen/luc." There is a set of slides you will use on Google Classroom!
Plot
Definition: the main events of a play, novel, movie, or similar work, devised and presented by the writer as an interrelated sequence.
We often use a Plot Rollercoaster to represent each part of the plot. The goal is to make everything happen in order so that it makes sense to the reader and builds a complete story.
We will fill out this as a class after we read the story, "Knock...Knock...Knock..." out loud together.
