In Reading this week, we discussed the different uses of figurative language while reading the short story, "The Circuit". Next week, students will take what they learned and create examples of their own in various writing pieces. They will illustrate how figurative language takes their writing to the next level by adding personality to their writing.
Here are the concepts we discussed so far:
*Simile-comparison of two things, using like or as
*Personification-giving animals, objects or ideas human qualities
*Imagery-descriptive details that appeal to the 5 senses
