Activity #1
Review: Figurative Language
Mix & Mingle

Goal: I can collaborate with my peers to find and label figurative language within a passage.

Directions:
Mix & Mingle (Also Know as Give One to Get One)
  • Get up out of your seat and find a partner to share your homework responses with.
    • When I ring the bell you will find a partner. You will have just 60 seconds to work with that partner.
    • Give your partner 1 of the answers on your graphic organizer.
    • Get one answer from your partner. 
    • You may change answers, or add to the answers you already have.
    • When the whistle blows find a new partner
    • Repeat the process of Giving one response, and getting one response. 
    • The goal is to work together to find and label as many of the examples of figurative language as you can.

Activity #2
And Now... Freak the Mighty Chapter 1

Turn & Talk
Prompt #1 - What does it mean to be a good friend? Explain in detail.

Prompt #2 - How should you treat people who are different from you? Explain your thinking.

Directions: 
Read chapter 1 & 2 of Freak the Mighty & complete the Reading Guide. Be sure to:
  • Write as detailed a response as you can on each part of the guide. 
  • Write neatly. 
  • Write in an appropriate size. 

Goal: I can read and annotate a text.

Reading Strategy - Annotating a Text
  • While you read it is important to annotate. (Take Notes) This will help you understand the story
  • As you take notes begin to think about the literary elements, especially figurative language.
  • In the beginning of all stories good readers should pay attention to the characters, setting and basic situations.
    • Think: Who are the characters, and what do I know about them?
    • Think: Where and when does the story take place?
    • Think: What is the basic situation? For example - Are you an astronaut flying through outer space? Are you a young boy who has been orphaned? Are you a spy trying catch a super villain. Are you a time traveling scientist trying to find your way back home? etc...
Have a great day!
