Sixty-Eighth day of School

In Reading today, we discussed the word omniscient as it pertains to a writer's point of view. We distinguished this from the point of view of a typical personal narrative which is written in a first-person perspective/voice.

In Writing, we made our plan for 'what happened next'. We changed procedure slightly, in order to prevent writers from forgetting to include a proper closure to their writing. A closure should not tell what happened next; i.e. it should not be about going home, or going to bed, for example. A closing lets a reader know your story has come ot an end. We reviewed the easiest ways to close a samll moment narrative was to reflect on the happening by relating an emotion or by using a superlative.

In Visual Art, we discussed another element of art: color. We talked about and worked with a color wheel and complementary colors and a little of their science.

Additionally, a question was asked about 'time' and the clock, so we took the opportunity to discuss time. We learned the purpose of the hour and minute hands (tested as part of a measurement unit later in the year).
