Monday: Review Figurative Language. Purpose: to review, find, and interpret figurative

language.

A literal sentence means exactly what it says.

A figurative sentence shows the reader rather than telling them. The reader has to infer (guess with evidence) the meaning.

The brothers were fighting. The brothers were fighting like cats and dogs.

(Sometimes people think that cats and dogs fight because they are two very

different types of animals).

Monday Activity

All writing can contain figurative language. After the vocabulary, there is a fable from a

collection of fables known as Aesop’s Fables. Use it to answer the questions that follow.

timid (adjective – a describing word for a noun)

shy or afraid

Example sentence:

The timid mouse ran when he heard the loud noise.

haste (noun – person, place or thing)

to work in a hurry or with quick action

Example sentence:

I had to work with great haste to get my school project done on time.

amuse (verb – an action word)

to make someone find something funny

Example sentence:

She was amused to watch the kitten try and catch the fly.

Monday (con’t) Now read the passage below, “The Lion and the Mouse.” Write down any other words if you were not sure of the meaning. Next, write down what you think the meaning is. Check in with your teacher, family member, or children’s dictionary to be sure of the meaning. Try to use your new vocabulary in your own sentence. Have some fun - show off and check your new learning out with your teacher or family. :)

Words in the passage I wasn’t sure of:

Word What I think it means Was I right?

The Lion and the Mouse

Aesop was a Greek fable writer who wrote a collection of stories known as Aesop's

Fables. Fables are short stories that often have animal characters. Fables include an

important "life lesson" or theme (what we should learn) that can be described in a clever

final sentence. For example, “Slow and steady wins the race” (The Tortoise and the Hare).

The last sentence is left off the fable below so that you can determine the theme

on your own.

Monday (con’t): Read story after vocabulary work.

The Lion And The

Mouse (adapted from

https://americanliterature.com/author/aesop)

A Lion lay asleep in the forest, his great

head resting on his paws. A timid little

Mouse came upon him unexpectedly,

and in her fright and haste to get away, ran across the Lion's nose. Roaring

like an angry wind, the Lion laid his huge paw angrily on the tiny creature to

kill her.

"Don’t kill me!" begged the poor Mouse, shaking like a leaf. "Please let me go

and someday I will surely repay you."

The Lion was amused to think that a Mouse could ever help him. But the Lion

was generous and finally let the Mouse go.

Some days later, while hunting in the forest, the Lion was caught in a hunter's

net. Unable to free himself, the forest filled to overflowing with his angry

roaring. The Mouse knew the voice and quickly found the Lion struggling in

the net like a fly in a spider’s web. Running to one of the great ropes that tied

him, she chewed it until it broke, and soon the Lion was free.

"You laughed when I said I would repay you," said the Mouse. "Now you see

that even a Mouse can help a Lion."

Opinion Writing Lesson 7 Monday 5/18

Organize Information Into Paragraphs

Learning Target: I can watch the video and/or read the directions and example essay to learn about the task for this week.

Directions: This week you will be separating your essay into 5 paragraphs, if it does not look like that already. To learn how to do this, watch this video: https://youtu.be/mwbj_HM7vIk

If you are not able to watch the video, here is what it says:

Step 1: Get out your draft from last week.

Step 2: Re-read your essay. Pay special attention to the strong opinion statement and reasons. Do you have three different reasons? Do you have examples to support each reason? Do you have an introduction? Do you have a conclusion? Don’t worry if your conclusion is not finished…yet.

Step 3: Time to draw a line where the paragraphs will be in your draft. Look for your introduction. Does it start with a hook and end with an opinion statement? Draw a line underneath this section.

Look for your 1st reason and examples. Draw a line underneath this section.

Look for your 2nd reason and examples. Draw a line underneath this section.

Look for your 3rd reason and examples. Draw a line underneath this section.

Finally, do you have your conclusion?

(Keep in mind, you are not actually DOING these things today-just reading about them or watching the video to learn what your job is this week.)

Hi third graders! If

you have been typing your

draft, you can easily go back

and add in spaces

between paragraphs.

If you’ve been writing out

your draft on paper- no

need to re-write it yet! You can just draw lines to separate each

of the 5 sections, like

in the example here.

The diagram below shows three different ways to find the area of a rectangle:

1) Make a model and count the squares,

2) Make a model and use repeated addition,

3) Make a model and multiply the length by the width.

Remember that the label for area is “square units” (square cm, square in. etc).

Sometimes several rectangles are put together to make a unique shape. To find the area, you will need to split the shape back up into rectangular pieces, calculate the area of each, and add the areas together.

Tuesday (con’t): Lion and the Mouse Skill Questions space for #3

Tuesday: KEY Lion and the Mouse Skill Questions. After you write in your

own answers, check your work here. Compare your answers with the ones

below.

Families: Student answers will vary. However, question one is a basic

comprehension question. Student answers should be similar to the

example on #1.

1. Why did the lion let the mouse live?

Example: The lion let the mouse live because he thought it was funny, or amusing, that

such a small animal thought it would be able to help him one day.

2. Pick a phrase of figurative language and write it below. What was the author expecting the reader to understand?

Example figurative language: In paragraph one, the lion is “roaring like an angry wind.” I think this means that the lion is loud and howling, because that is how the wind sounds in a storm. Plus many times when someone is angry, they make a loud noise.

Example figurative language: In paragraph 4: “the forest filled to overflowing with his angry roaring.” I think this means he must have been so loud you could hear it throughout the whole forest, with some maybe even leaking outside the forest. This is just like how you can fill a glass with water so it can’t hold another drop, and some spills over the sides.

Example figurative language: In paragraph 4: “found the Lion struggling in the

net like a fly in a spider’s web.” I think this means that the lion is really stuck, like

Tuesday (con’t): Lion and the Mouse Skill Questions Key

a bug can get stuck in a spider web. Just like a bug, the lion can’t move, and he is stuck

waiting until the hunter comes to get him.

3. Aesop was known for the “life lessons” his stories were meant to teach. What do you think the “life lesson” or theme is of this story? Be sure to use text evidence to explain your thinking.

Example: I think a life lesson is that even the smallest of any of us can help someone else. The mouse was so small, the lion didn’t think he could ever help him. But the mouse ended up saving the hunter’s life.

Example: I think a life lesson is that no kindness ever goes unpaid. When the lion let the mouse go, he didn’t think that his kindness to the mouse would ever get paid back to him. But it did when the mouse chewed apart the net.

Example: Even the smallest of creatures or people can do mighty things. The mouse is so small, you would never expect that he could free a lion. But he did.

Example: It’s important to take care and remember your friends. The mouse did not forget how the lion took care of him. And in the end, the mouse took care of the lion.

Thursday: Art Connected to Figurative Language

Idioms show up in every language. They can be confusing because the meaning of the whole group of words together often makes no sense. But they can be quite fun to draw and understand their meaning. Of course, the literal drawing quite often has nothing to do with the real meaning.

For example, “to let the cat out of the bag” is an idiom that means to tell a secret not meant to share. Here is

the example drawing from last week:

Below there is a list of idioms and their meanings.

Have some fun - draw one or two, and then show

your family or send a picture to your teacher. Can they guess the idiom? Or

do you have an idiom in your family tradition? All cultures and languages have

them. Feel free to share with your class or your teacher!

Idiom Meaning

I’m all ears. You are ready and eager to listen.

He’s all thumbs. You are awkward and clumsy, especially when using your hands.

I’m at the end of my rope. You are at the end of your patience or ability to do something.

What’s the matter? Cat got your tongue?

You are unable to talk back, usually because you are surprised or angry.

You’re going to be in hot water when Dad finds out you borrowed the car without permission.

You are in serious trouble.

You’re in the doghouse. You’re in disgrace or are disliked, and usually facing punishment.

That was a close shave. You have a narrow escape from danger.

Your eyes are bigger than your stomach.

You ask or take a lot of food, but then you can’t eat it all.

She gave me the cold shoulder. Showing someone they are not welcome.

Don’t be a wet blanket. A wet blanket is someone who ruins the fun.
