Today we shared our imagery findings and began a legend on the cover page. This legend will act as a guide so we can figure out what all the markings mean throughout the text book. I gave a quick power point on figurative language and then we focused on similes today. Students used highlighters to find as many similes as possible in their texts. We shared them and made some notes about what makes a simile most effective--what we realized is that the fresher the simile, and the more unexpected the comparison, the better it worked.
•HW:
Read, log, post it –find figurative language in your IR book and write a longwrite
about it—ID the type of figurative language (simile, metaphor, personification….) then comment on its effectiveness.
