Today we will learn about:GeneralizePersuasive DevicesWord Structure: SuffixesGrammar: Irregular VerbsSpelling: PossessivesScheduleProtecting the Environment
GeneralizeA generalization is a broad statement based on several examples.
A generalization can be valid (logical) or faulty (wrong) depending on the number of examples on which it is based and on how logical and careful the thinking is.
Persuasive DevicesPersuasive devices are used to persuade the reader to agree with the author’s point of view.
Writers may try to influence readers by using strong, sensory language or loaded words. For example, instead of a more neutral word like cut, a writer might use a negative word like gash.
Persuasive DevicesBy paying attention to persuasive devices, such as testimonials, bandwagon, or loaded words, you can decide whether or not you should believe a writer’s claims.
SuffixesThe suffix –ous means “full of.”Other suffixes with the same meaning are -ful and –y.
Use suffixes and base words to figure out the meanings of the words in the chart.
SuffixesWord Base Word + Suffix Meaning
