Lesson: We started class by talking about conferences. The students filled out conference evaluation forms, which I collected. Then I passed back their persuasive essays, which will be placed in their conference folders. We went over the rubric and I talked about some common mistakes that were made. The students have two weeks to make revisions on their persuasive essays. If students wish to improve their grades, all revisions are due March 30th. On PowerSchool, their persuasive essays are the last four grades in the grade-book. Please email me with questions!
Then we started a new unit - figurative language! We will spend the next month learning about eight different types of figurative language.
- Idiom
- Simile
- Hyperbole
- Alliteration
- Metaphor
- Personification
- Oxymoron
- Onomatopoeia
