English 10

Today we started off with a look at figurative language (language that is used to express deeper meaning beyond the literal meaning).    Some examples of figurative language are: simile, metaphor, personification and hyperbole. Students were asked to start making a glossary of these examinable terms for English 10.  We went over definitions and students were asked to include examples as well. 

Today we did some reading and below are the tasks assigned.  Make sure your work is dated and kept in your binder!

Before:  

1. What would your dream life look like if there were no restrictions?
2. What is a self- fufilling prophecy?

During:  

Find 3 examples of figurative language (different types if possible) and identify what type they are!

After:  

1. Do you think Junior's parents fate was a self - fulfilling prophecy?  Discuss.
2. Draw (literal meaning) or analyze one of your examples of figurative language.
