Today we will learn about: Build Concept Vocabulary Compare and Contrast Exaggeration Context Clues Grammar: Commas Spelling: Easily Confused Words Instruction Manual Customs

Compare and Contrast Writers sometimes use comparisons and contrasts to organize their writing. Clue words such as same, also, before, although, and however signal comparisons and contrasts. Good readers notice the author’s comparisons and contrasts and make their own as they read.

Exaggeration Exaggeration is something overstated and made greater than it actually is. Authors use it for emphasis, and its effect can be either serious or comic. Generally, the greater the exaggeration, the funnier it is. Another word for exaggeration is hyperbole.
