Parts of a Story

In Math today we talked about place value and writing numbers in expanded form. Expanded form is the sum of all the place values. For example 1,234,567 in expanded form is 1,000,000 + 200,000 + 30,000 + 4,000 + 500 + 60 + 7.

In Reading we discussed the key parts of a story. As good readers we should be constantly looking at the characters, the problems the characters face, how the problems are resolved and how the characters change through out the story. These 4 points can help us understand the novel.
