Elements of Fiction: Characters & Setting...

Happy Monday Y'all,

      Today is Monday, October 10, 2016.  We will continue looking at Elements of Fiction this week.  Remember that there are many Literary Genres.  Within fiction, there are different types of fiction.  No matter which type of fiction we are reading there are always some key parts.  The two parts that will be our focus this week are characters and setting.   Most stories have a developed character or characters and a developed setting.  As we read throughout the week, let's keep these two elements of fiction in our sights.  As we read, let's analyze the characters and the settings in our stories.

      Our Vsauce this week is all about our brains.  I know this is a shocker for you all.  You know your teacher is fascinated with this subject.  In the Vsauce, Michael Stevens tries to illustrate what we can do without a brain.  He does this by looking at animal brains, nervous systems, and neurons (nerve cells).  We all know he uses some academic vocabulary that loses us at times, but let's do our best to keep up and ask questions if we become confused.  As always, have fun and enjoy!

Love, peace, and taco grease,
C

 P.S.  As a reminder, this Wednesday you will have a guest teacher.  Act accordingly please.
