Study Notes
- The lesson objectives are to respond to information, demonstrate understanding, identify key details, and answer comprehension questions with textual evidence.
Book Categories
- Books are classified into two primary categories: fiction and non-fiction.
- Successful books of either type can be adapted into movies and games.
Fiction Books
- Fiction books rely on imagination, therefore characters and events are not real.
- These books are readily accessible in bookstores, libraries, and even comics and game shops.
- Fiction books often combine elements from science, fantasy, and classical genres.
- Fantasy is popular among youngsters involving magic, spacecraft, aliens, superheroes, or time travel.
Non-Fiction Books
- Non-fiction books, available on the market, concern facts, real people, events, and places.
- These books are generally written by individuals who experienced or witnessed the real events.
- Real-life stories can be reader contributions to magazines and newspapers.
Reading and Choice
- As book production increases, so does the variety of choices.
- Choosing the right books to read is as vital as making reading a habit.
Themes in Fiction
- Fiction writers typically have a core 'big idea' that is known as the story's theme.
- Themes can be instructions for life, such as "Too much computer gaming is destructive," or observations, such as "Looks can be deceiving."
- A story's theme is not always explicit and requires interpretation.
- Stories may contain a primary theme and one or more minor themes.
- In the example of a story about a character finding a lost puppy, a major theme could be 'Honesty is the best policy’ while minor theme is ‘Don’t bite off more than you can chew'.
Setting in Stories
- The setting constitutes the time and place in which a story unfolds.
- Writers might explicitly state the setting or provide clues through specific details.
- Setting can influence character actions, events, and the overall mood of a story (sad, happy, or even lighthearted).
