Tues. Sept. 20, 2016: Stylistic Devices (metaphor, simile, personification)

Today, students were being pulled out for picture taking. As a result, I have moved the discussion of the poem "Ernest Mott" over to tomorrow's class.
Instead, the students completed a MOSES exercise on similes, metaphors and personification. It consisted of thirty questions. The students had to highlight and identify the type and then explain in literal terms what they mean (at least as far as the metaphors go).
This is due at the start of class tomorrow.
I also handed out alternative readings for "Ernest Mott," to those who had not completed their assignment. It is called "Did I Miss Anything?" by Tom Wayman.
