I hope you all are having a wonderful morning. We will continue to work with Mrs. Isham on narrative writing today. We will also continue reading chapter 12 and 13 of Freak the Mighty. Please make sure you have all your materials for the morning. Then work on the point to ponder.
Thank you
Mr. Trumble
Point to Ponder: Use Scotch Tape to hang up your Frayer Model Poster on your locker. Then read quietly at your seat.
Activity #1
Writing: Narratives
Activity #2
Go over Simili's & Metaphor's
- Simile
A simile uses the words “like” or “as” to compare
one object or idea with another
Example: busy as a bee, You played like a beast.
- Metaphor
The metaphor states a fact or draws a verbal picture by the use
of comparison. A simile would say you are like something;
a metaphor is more positive - it says you are something.
Example: You are a beast.
Activity #3
Following Plot - Rising Action
