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 authors
comparisons and contrasts and
make their own as they read.

Authors Craft
An author is the writer of any

piece of literature. An author is

not one of the characters in a
story, but creates the character,
even if the story is told in the
first person (using the pronoun I.)

Authors Craft
Authors choose what they will

write, how they will describe the

characters, and how long the story
will be.
Authors of folk or fairy tales can
take old stories recorded long ago
and rewrite them using new words.

Suffixes
When a suffix is added to a base

word, it changes the words

meaning.
Use the suffixes in these words
from King Midas and the Golden
Touch to determine their
meanings.

Suffixes
Word

kindness
musician
miserable

Order Form/Application
Have you ever ordered something

through the mail or online?

Have you ever applied to a special
program?
Each requires filling out a form
and these forms can be found in
print or electronically online.

Order Form/Application
An order form is a chart a person

uses to purchase from a catalog or

advertisement. By completing the
form, the customer can purchase
merchandise.
An application form is a means by
which a person can apply for a job
or a special school to which they
wish to be accepted.

Order Form/Application
Both online or print order forms

and applications are complex, and

have cells or blanks that need to
be filled out carefully.

Order Form/Application
Forms usually ask for a name,

address, and phone number. In

addition, an application may ask
for your qualifications, education,
or job history. On an order form,
you also need to indicate what is
to be purchased, and the cost.
