At the beginning of class today, everyone had a few minutes to work on their set four roots and prefixes practice sheets. We will review these tomorrow in class.

Next, we went around and people shared out the drawings on the flags we created in class yesterday.

Following this we began talking about simile and metaphor. I gave people a sheet to practice different forms of simile and metaphor. We would complete one section, discuss the examples people came up with, and then move on to the next section (see below for extra copies of this sheet). Everyone will be working more with this sheet for homework.


Handouts:
