Huron Colony 4th-8th grade

Students in Jason Hill’s fourth- through eighth-grade class at Huron Colony have been learning how to determine a theme of a story, drama, or poem and explain how it is supported by details in the text. They are learning how to summarize a text. Students have also been learning the differences between a story, drama, and poem. They have been reading stories, dramas, and poems. The students are learning that a story has a plot, characters, setting, conflict, and solution. Dramas are plays with speaking parts, characters, stage directions, costumes, problems, solutions, and a setting. Poems are writing pieces that have rhythm, sometimes rhyme, meter, and stanzas. Students are also learning the different points of view that a story has. The point of view is the person telling the story. The first person point of view involves “I” or “we” pronouns. The second person point of view involves using pronoun “you.” The third person point of view involves using the pronouns “he,” “she,” “it,” “they” or someone’s name.
