In Realistic Fiction the characters speak and act like
real people.The story describes real-life
problems and events.The outcome, or problem
resolution, seems to be reasonable.
What is Realistic Fiction?
• Realistic fiction is simply stated as real kids with real problems solved in a realistic manner in a real world setting.
• Realistic Fiction is most often based in the present or recent past.
• The events portrayed in realistic fiction raise questions that a reader might face in real life.
Characters in realistic fiction usually have certain characteristics:
• they resemble real people• live in a place that could be real• participate in a series of events
that could probably happen• presented with a problem that is of
interest of children and discover a realistic solution
A Realistic fiction selection may have one or more of these
elements
• The characters behave as people or animals do in real life.
• The setting of the story is a real place or could be a real place.
• The events of the story are based on a conflict or problem the could occur in real life.
Summarizing
•A summary is a short statement that tells the main ideas of a selection.
•A story summary should tell the goals of the characters, how they try to reach them, and whether they reach them.
•A summary of an article should tell the main idea, leaving out unnecessary details. Tips on Summarizing
Vocabulary Skill – Suffixes
•The suffix –ful means “full of.” For example, prideful means “full of pride.” •The suffix –ly means “in a way that is.” •Sometimes –ful and –ly are added to a base word together as in pridefully, which means “acting in a way that is
full of pride.”
