We began class today with a game about homonyms. Basically, I tricked you! We played a game... but about WORDS!!
Then we reviewed ten poetic devices: simile, metaphor, personification, hyperbole, oxymoron, alliteration, assonance, onomatopoeia, rhyme and rhythm. Students attempted to define these terms and provide an example for each. We went over each one, once people had a chance to recall what they knew of each one.
The last fifteen minutes of class were spent finishing off rough drafts of our simile poems. I have collected these and will provide feedback before returning them next week.
