Conflict is a problem or struggle within the story.
There are two types of conflict- External and Internal.

Conflict
What type of literary conflict is revealed in this chapter? Explain.
Insert a storyboard here that reveals the conflict.
Colors have different shades. Think about the color blue. When drawing a peacock, you wouldn’t choose arctic blue because it is too light. On the other hand, if you were drawing the sky, you wouldn’t choose denim blue because it is too dark. The shades of color are used to communicate visually what you are drawing.
Shades of Meaning
Some believe that Arctic natives have 50 words just for snow…
that’s a lot of synonyms!
CLICK HERE to explore 31 shades of meaning for SNOW
Use the shapes tool to circle your favorite shade of blue.
Words, like colors, have shades too. Words that have similar meanings are called SYNONYMS. But not all synonyms mean exactly the same thing. Just like the color blue. Some synonyms are weak, while others are strong. We call this Shades of Meaning.
When Peter’s mom tells him to “scrub” his hands, she doesn’t mean to rinse. She doesn’t even mean wash. She means “SCRUB!” Use the chart below and fill in missing verb and adjective synonyms.. Use the Thesaurus to help. The first set is done for you.
