10.28 - Figurative Language and Tone in "Anthem"

At the beginning of class today, people wrote sentences using words that feature the roots and prefixes from the first five sets. People then got together and compared sentences with other people who were working with the same sets of roots and selected the best sentences to share with me online. I will be using these sentences to make and share a model test to explain what the test for this unit will look like on Friday.

Next, everyone was paired up with another person in the class and assigned a section of Anthem. With their partner(s), everyone was looking at the various uses of figurative language in this section of the book, how those uses of language develop tone in the story, and what that tone ultimately communicates to the reader about Equality 7-2521 and the world in which he lives (see instructions below). For our class today, we were mostly focused on finding uses of figurative language and then looking at what tones that language creates and develops. We will continue working with this tomorrow.
