Meet the Author and IllustratorAesopNot much is known about Aesop’s life. People studying Aesop believe that he was born somewhere in Greece as a slave and was later freed. It said that he was freed because he was a good storyteller and could make people laugh. Then he traveled to many cities in Greece, telling his fables to people along the way. Aesop’s fables are known for teaching moral lessons about life. Many phrases from his stories are now widely used expressions, such as “actions speak louder than words.”

Belgin WedmanWedman began drawing when she was four years old. She could draw for hours. She says, “There was never a time when I considered doing anything else but art.” The best part about her job is it required her to learn about and imagine many time periods and cultures. Her studio overlooks the beautiful Santa Monica mountains.

Inquiry Process day 3

You must also provide the page number that the quote appears on if it is form printed material, along with complete reference information. After taking notes, you should organize your facts and ides in a logical sequence.

Remember as you read and take notes, you should draw conclusions about the information. This will help you understand the information you are reading.

Grammar, Usage, and MechanicsDay 3

Apostrophes in Possessive Nouns and ContractionsThe miser’s gold was gone. He didn’t know what happened to it.

Apostrophes can be used to show possession or to combine two words.Remember:A writer must add an apostrophe plus s to a singular noun or to a plural noun

that does not end in s; for example, child’s ball or children’s ball. Add only an apostrophe after a plural noun that ends in s; for example, boys’ bicycles.

Remember:An apostrophe in a contraction combines two words by taking the place of a

letter or letters. For example, when combining do not into don’t, the apostrophe takes the place of the letter o in not.
