THEORETICAL DEVELOPMENT
Components of Text Composition
- Initial Ideas: Every text starts with an idea. It can be a story we imagine or something we want to tell about the day.
- Key Words: These are the most important words of what we want to write. Like "friend", "play", "school" in a story about a day at school.
- Sentences: We join words to make sentences. A sentence is like a train of words that make sense together.
- Paragraphs: They are a set of sentences that talk about the same thing. They help organize ideas on paper.
- Punctuation: We use periods, commas, and other signs to help understand when to pause or change ideas while reading.
- Structure: A good text has a beginning, middle, and end. It's like a movie that tells its story in parts.
- Revision: After writing, we look again to correct mistakes and improve what is written.
Key Terms
- Narrator: Who tells the story in the text. It can be an "I" or a "he/she".
- Characters: The people or animals in the story. They can talk and do things.
- Dialogue: When the characters talk. We use quotes " " to show.
- Plot: It's the sequence of things that happen in the story. What makes us want to know the end.
- Theme: The main subject of the text. It can be friendship, adventure, nature, etc.
- Opinion: What we think about something. A text can also tell our opinion.
- Information: Data or facts that we put in the text to teach something or tell news.
Examples and Cases
- Diagram: We draw a speech bubble for each idea and then connect the bubbles to form our story.
- We start with the bubble "I woke up".
- We connect it to another bubble "I had breakfast".
- In the end, we have several bubbles that tell our morning!
- Interview: We pretend to be a reporter and ask questions.
- "What is your favorite toy?"
- We write down the answers to assemble the interview text.
- Each answer is part of the story we are telling about the person.
With these parts and details, we can assemble a text that is unique, like a drawing that only we can make!
