Definition: A portal of entry into a building, room, or vehicle, consisting of a rigid plane movable on a hinge. Doors are frequently made of wood or metal. May have a handle to help open and close, a latch to hold the door closed and a lock that ensures the door cannot be opened without the key.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look!
Today we're tackling “doors,” a word so common, it’s easy to miss its meaning. The dictionary has given us a lovely description, don’t you think? Let’s break it down with a little rhyme:
“A portal of entry,” that’s the start,
To buildings grand or rooms apart!
A rigid plane, so strong and true,
Moving on hinges, for me and you.
Made of wood or metal bright,
Often catching the morning light.
With handles to twist and turn,
And latches tight, lessons we learn!
A lock secures, a secret key,
Protecting what’s inside, you see!
So “doors” are more than just a frame,
They're pathways leading, it’s all the same!
Essentially, a door is an opening – a way in and out. It’s like a magical gate, but built with hinges and locks! Does that make sense to everyone?
Do you have any questions about what we just covered? Perhaps you want to think of some different kinds of doors - a barn door, a closet door, even the door to your own imagination?
