Friday Question of the Day How are living things connected?

Today we will learn about: Generalize Persuasive Devices Word Structure: Suffixes Grammar: Irregular Verbs Spelling: Possessives Schedule Protecting the Environment

Generalize A generalization is a broad statement based on several examples. A generalization can be valid (logical) or faulty (wrong) depending on the number of examples on which it is based and on how logical and careful the thinking is.

Persuasive Devices Persuasive devices are used to persuade the reader to agree with the author’s point of view. Writers may try to influence readers by using strong, sensory language or loaded words. For example, instead of a more neutral word like cut, a writer might use a negative word like gash.

Persuasive Devices By paying attention to persuasive devices, such as testimonials, bandwagon, or loaded words, you can decide whether or not you should believe a writer’s claims.

Suffixes The suffix –ous means “full of.”Other suffixes with the same meaning are -ful and –y. Use suffixes and base words to figure out the meanings of the words in the chart.

Suffixes

How could you find out when flights leave for Brazil and how long it takes to fly to Brazil? Flight information is often given in the form of a schedule.

Schedule A schedule is a kind of chart that tells you when events will take place. It usually lists the names of events, places, dates, and times. Schedules often organize information horizontally in rows from left to right and vertically in columns from top to bottom.

Schedule Headings for the rows and columns tell what information each row or column shows.
