January 31st

We will be discussing our  NWEA scores today  and making new goals for ourselves. Then we presented our Figurative Language Projects for those that wanted to share theirs.  We have a test on Figurative Language tomorrow that we will review for at the end of class!  The test will be on definitions and examples of:  similes, metaphors, hyperboles, alliterations, onomatopoeias, personification, imagery, idioms, symbolism, and allusions. All definitions and examples can be found in their Reading ISNs which they should take home to help study.  There will be some comprehension questions on this test about “All Summer in a Day” and “The Jacket” which we previously read and discussed in class. They will be able to use their Literature books for the comprehension questions

Homework

  • Review figurative language devices (pg 25-32 in Reading ISN)
  • Read for 20 minutes and respond on reading log
