Events in the Story
Terrence showed one of his new pictures to his dad. 1-8
Terrence was excited about his new watercolor set. He loved to draw and paint. He liked to draw and paint race cars, airplanes, and trucks. He liked to use all kinds of colors in his pictures. He was learning how to mix colors together to make new and interesting colors.
He showed one of his new pictures to his dad one day. His dad said, "These are such amazing colors! Do you know how our eyes see different colors?" Terrence had never thought about that before, but he was interested. "No, he said. "We just see them, I guess."
"Well," said his dad. "It's a little more complicated than that."
"Tell me, then!" Terrence said. "Maybe it will help me learn how to mix cool new colors." Terrence’s dad said that when a light beam hits an object, the object absorbs all of the color beams except one.
"All right," Terrence's dad said. "But first, you need to know about light. A light beam is made up of smaller beams of different colors. Our Terrence

Terrence thought about all this for a bit. He thought he understood what his dad was saying. "What else can you tell me about color?" he asked.
"I think you're really going to like hearing about how the color wheel works," his dad said. "But right now, it's time for dinner."
Terence’s dad asked him if he know how our eyes see different colors.
Terrence was learning to mix colors together to make new and interesting colors.
The color beam that is not absorbed when a light beam hits an object is the color our eyes see.
Terrence asked his dad what else he could tell him about color.
Terrence’s dad said that a light beam is made up of smaller beams of different colors.

Sequencing Before the Sky Faded to Black There is a multitude of applications for good sequencing skills.

On the morning of April 17, 1746, as he stepped onto the battlefield at Culloden Moor, all the fineries of life faded away. What difference did it make if he ate his meals off a silver platter or a piece of bark? As he stared death square in the eye, Malcolm finally understood life do
As the Redcoats closed in on him, he watched his fellow soldiers drop, one after another. Inhaling deeply, he charged the battlefield, knowing it was only a matter of time before the sky faded to black.
Let's examine a sequence of events example. We'll follow the order of a story, sometimes chronologically, sometimes not. The next time you read, you'll enjoy being able to pinpoint how the story unfolds. Did you notice the difference in this sequence of events?

One afternoon in late August, as the summer's sun streamed into the car and made little jumping shadows on the windows, I sat gazing out at the tenement-dwellers, who were themselves looking out of their windows from the gray crumbling buildings along the tracks of upper Manhattan.
As we crossed into the Bronx, the train unexpectedly slowed down for a few miles. Suddenly from out of my window, I saw a large crowd near the tracks, held back by two policemen. Then, on the other side from my window, I saw a sight I would never be able to forget: a little boy almost severed in halves, ly
A policeman stood next to him, his arms folded, staring straight ahead at the windows of our train.

Behind me, in the next row of s
I heard one of the four men say as he looked out at the sight, "God, that's horrible." Another said, in a whisper, "Terrible, terrible." There was a momentary silence, punctuated only by the clicking of wheels on the track. Then, after the pause, I heard the first man say: "Two hearts.“
Willie Morris, On a Commuter Train
One of the main patterns Morris uses in his story is narration. The function of this pattern is to present a sequence of events in time. In this example, Morris makes use of narration of an event. He begins by telling that he is riding on a commuter train one afternoon late in summer. As the train enters the Bronx i

Why The Fish Has Scales Oftentimes, the characteristics of people, particularly of heroes, in a leg
A farmer and his wife were blessed with a beautiful baby girl. They pampered her and refused to let her do any farm work. They showered her with too much attention.
She grew up into a beautiful maiden, and she knew it. That's why she would often go to the clear streams to admire her own beauty.
One day, the king of the crabs saw her by the side of the stream, and he approached her, saying he wanted to be her friend.
She found him ugly and told him she did not want to be friends with such a horrid-looking creature. So he jumped on her face and made several painful scratches.
She splashed some water on her wounds, but these hardened into scales. To top it off, the king crab placed a spell on her and turned her into a fish-filled with scales.
Nowadays, if you happen to look into clear streams, you'll find scaly fish swimming and moving strangely. They quickly jerk away when they sometimes see their reflection, which reminds them of the "beauty" they lost long ago.
Here is an example of a legend entitled “Why the Fish Has Scales.”

"Where will it be, and when will the big race begin?" asked the Dragon impatiently. "The race will be held at the fields of farmer Ka's. The race will start in the afternoon." And with that, the Emperor disappeared before any other questions could be asked.
Cat and Rat were very excited and trotted home hand in hand. When Cat and Rat reached home, they just flopped into bed and fell asleep straight away.
The day had come for the big race, and Cat decided to take a nap just before the race. Before Cat went to have a nap, he said to Rat, "Could you please wake me up before the race begins?"
"I will, Cat," answered Rat.
Rat was busy getting dressed when suddenly he heard a big, loud announcement. "The race will begin in two minutes, so get in place."
As soon as Rat heard this, he ran out of his house and to Farmer Ka's field and into place; Rat forgot all about Cat. There were twelve animals in the race, including Rat. The animals were Dragon, Sheep, Dog, Monkey, Rooster, Bear, Tiger, Ox, Horse, Snake, and Rabbit.

My Holiday Highlights
"It was because of my letters that I happened to stumble upon starting to acquire some kind of a homemade education.
The air was crisp, the snow was wickedly white, and I was skiing fast down the mountain. Way too fast!
I became increasingly frustrated at not being able to express what I wanted to convey in letters that I wrote, especially those to Mr. Elijah Muhammad. In the street, I had been the most articulate hustler out there. I had commanded attention when I said something. But no
'Lookout!' I cried, and the 300 people in the tow queue straight ahead ducked in fear.
Many who today hear me somewhere in person, or on television, or those who read something I've said, will think I went to school far beyond the eighth grade. This impression is due entirely to my prison studies."
My family had gone skiing for the weekend, but the single lesson I'd taken that morning had neglected to teach me how to stop.

Sunday, 14 June, 1942 The Butterfly Release
On Friday, June 12th, I woke up at six o'clock and no wonder, it was my birthday. But of course I was not allowed to get up at that hour, so I had to control my curiosity until a quarter to seven. Then I could bear it no longer, and went to the dining room, where I received a warm welcome from Moortje (the cat).S

Then Lies called for me and we went to school. During recess I treated everyone to sweet biscuits, and then we had to go back to our lessons.
All of a sudden, the butterfly found the opening, and with its beautiful bright wings, it started to flap. Up into the sky. We watche

➤Stage 1. Egg –
This is the first stage of a grasshopper’s life cycle.
After laying eggs, the female grasshopper sprays a sticky substance on the egg to form a POD.
Each POD has 10 – 300 eggs inside it. Usually, the female grasshopper can lay up to 25 pods.
➤Stage 2. Nymph  Advertisements

Nymphs look like adult Grasshoppers without wings and reproductive organs.
It sheds its skin five to six times to grow into an adult grasshopper. This process is known as MOULTING.
It lasts for about five to six weeks until it matures into an adult grasshopper.  Newspaper columns
➤Stage 3. The Adult

It takes about ONE MONTH to develop fully grown wings.
Now the adult female grasshopper is ready to lay eggs. She continues to lay eggs at intervals of three to four days until she dies.
This is the last stage of the life cycle of a butterfly.

Text Types Persuasive Text

Analysis
The author uses definite, factual statements, describing plastic as a 'huge problem.' The adjective 'huge' helps to create a sense of urgency in the reader, informing them that this is an issue we need to act on as quickly as possible.
An explanation is written to explain how and why something in the world happens.
Emotive language is also used to elicit a reaction from the reader. The verb 'pollute' and pronoun 'our' help the readers think of themselves as part of the Earth, giving them more reason to be upset by the damage being done to it.
We use explanation texts to pass on information quickly and in an easy-to-follow way.
Metaphorical language is also common in persuasive texts. Here the author describes how the oceans are being turned into 'plastic soup' - an upsetting image that helps to illustrate the scale of the problem.
Persuasive text convinces the reader to agree with the author about an issue.
Evidence is also very helpful when trying to persuade your reader. In this case, the writer has used the frightening statistic of UK supermarkets producing '800,000 tons of plastic every year. Like metaphorical language, statistics and quantitative evidenc
