What does it mean to SYMBOLYZE?

to describe someone or something

to carefully judge someone or something

to understand someone or something

Sensory language and imagery are used by an author to show --

what something smells, sounds, looks, tastes, or feels like

what something was before it changed

The word ILLUSTRATE does not always mean to draw. It could also mean:

to explain or show with examples to help readers understand

to make a decision based on prior knowledge

When a STAAR question asks you about what something SUGGESTS, it is referring to what it:

hints at or causes you to think

Sensory language (imagery) used by an author helps the reader to see or visualize what they are reading. Choose an example of IMAGERY:

The walls shook and vibrated like the tail of a mad rattlesnake.

The walls of the house shook fast.

The wind blew through the trees.

It was extremely breezy outside.

First person POINT OF VIEW allows us to:

know what the main speaker thinks and feels

know what all the characters think and feel

hear from a narrator who just tells the story

Which statement is an example of a STEREOTYPE?

All pit bull dogs are extremely aggressive.

People who speak French are sometimes from France.

All teachers have summers off from the regular school year.

If an answer is EXPLICIT, that means it is:

must be inferred from clues in the text

What is FORESHADOWING?

A hint at what is to come later in a story

A figure of speech where something is described as something else

A type of figurative language in which non-human things are given human characteristics

What is the CLIMAX of a story?

the most important and exciting part; the turning point

when the problem of the story is resolved

when we learn what the characters learned from the events in the story

where a character learns something new

when the character becomes angry

the use of hints or clues to later events in the story

the attitude of an author toward the subject

a lesson taught by a literary work

the events and actions of a narrative work

What do you do when you come to an unfamiliar word?

Use your context clues to read around the word and think of what would make sense based on what is happening in the text. Use a dictionary to check if you are not sure at all.

Immediately ask for a dictionary and look it up.

Skip past the word and don't do back to figure out the meaning.

Stop reading completely and stare at the word until you know it.

How do you determine the theme of a literary text?

I use what happened in the text to think of the life lesson that the story teaches.

I make a guess based on the choices.

I only look at the very end of the text.

I search for the sentence in the text that says, "The theme of this text is..." It always says the theme right in the text.

When answering the multiple choice questions, what should you do?

read all the answer choices before picking one.

choose the first answer that sounds right to me.

say, "eeny meeny miney moe" to pick an answer.

ask a friend or teacher to help me.
