Identifying the theme of a story involves understanding what?

The underlying message or lesson of the story

The sequence of events in the plot

Identifying the narrator's perspective or point of view in a story helps the reader understand:

The biases and limitations of the narrative

Read the opinion essay on organized recess: When we were in earlier grade levels here at Grover Elementary School, we were given free time to play on the playground each day. We enjoyed chatting with our friends, play on the equipment, and even participating in game of basketball and dodge ball every once in awhile. But, when we got to fifth grade, our playground freedom was taken away. Instead of free time, we are now forced to play organized games and sports. Every fifth-grader must play whichever sport or game the teachers choose. This ruins the whole point of recess. We are supposed to have time to relax and recharge. We need time to just enjoy the outdoors with our friends. Now that we no longer have free playground time, more students are getting into trouble for talking during class. That is leading to falling grades. Choose the the sentence that is the BEST conclusion to the essay.

Until teachers give back our playground freedom, they will continue to see poor student behavior and bad grades.

It would be easier for teachers to give us free time than to organize and help us play games.

The positive side of having organized games and sports is that students do get more exercise.

There have even been a couple of students who have fallen asleep in class following organized games and sports.

A student is writing a report about exercise. The student wrote the following opinion: Regular exercise is a good way to stay healthy. Choose the sentence that has information to support the opinion.

Studies show that jogging three times a week leads to a stronger heart.

Everyone needs to eat, sleep, and exercise.

A diet filled with fresh fruits and vegetables is better than one filled with cookies.

Like the other healthy habits above, it may take time to plan an exercise program.

But once exercise becomes a habit, it is easy to do.

The word 'synonym' means...

a word that has the same/similar definition

a word that has the opposite definition

B) The weather can effect your mood.
