Students,

As promised, here is the quick video tutorial for your review. Please use this to assist you should you forget the instructions from class. Don’t forget to use your ELA notebook.

Figurative Language posters

All classes have been focusing on figurative language, and last Friday period three through six interpreted personification.

Of course we had to view a couple of YouTube videos:

• My students have used Google Drawing before to draw pictures, but because I couldn’t checkout the laptops (and I wanted this to be quick check for understanding), good old-fashioned drawing worked out perfectly.
• Each student was given a strip of paper with a sentence containing personification. Students were told to spend 15 minutes drawing an image to explain the phrase. On the back of their drawing they explained the phrased and identified what was being personified.
• Sentence frame: The phrase _____________ means _____________. The non-human object being personified is _____________; I know this because ________________.
• Below are four completed projects I was able to take pictures of.

Emily and Heather put their heads together to create another comic strip on Pixton.com! Thanks to a generous $500 grant from the Olive Branch Rebekahs Lodge #48, all students will be able to log on to use Pixton to create comics.
