This week in literature we setup the section in the notebooks and created a cover title page. We defined literature as learning through books. We discussed the purpose of literature and the qualities of literature. With D, I defined psalms as poems; prayers to God; and praise songs to God. I identified the book of Psalms as poetry and explained how the book of Psalms illustrates the Principle of Unity with Diversity.
