This week we’ve been studying the four different types of conflict in fictional writing. The kids have had a blast coming up with examples from books, movies and real life! Please ask your child about the different types of conflict- they should be able to state 3 external types and 1 internal type. 

Today we split into partnerships and examined short passages, looking for evidence of conflict. We read closely and highlighted evidence that helped support our ideas of the type of conflict identified in the text. Then, each partnership shared a summary of the text (another important skill!) they had read in addition to their claim of conflict. 

Later this week we will continue working on our memoirs and learning more about elements of fiction.
