  2. Journal Prompt!!! Write about your daily routine for getting ready in the morning. BE DETAILED. . .this will be used later today.

  3. What is figurative language? • Language used to help readers visualize and experience what is occurring in a piece of writing • There’s a lot of examples in To Kill a Mockingbird

  4. What is imagery? • Imagery is a word or phrase that refers to a sensory experience (sight, sound, smell, touch, or taste) that helps create a physical experience for the reader and helps the reader understand. • Examples: • I heard the shrill cry of the kittens screams in contrast with the clanking of the ceramic mugs even before I entered the kitchen. • Their eyes were only squinting as they popped their velvety-soft heads out of the hand-crafted mugs; the silhouette of whiskers could be seen in contrast with the ivory tint of the mugs.

  5. What is a simile? • A comparison of two things that at first seem quite different but are shown to have significant resemblance. Similes employ connective words, usually ‘like,” “as,” “than,” or a verb such as “resembles.” • Examples: • The panda cub slept like a newborn baby. • The panda cub resembled a half-eaten Oreo cookie.

  6. What is a metaphor? • A statement that one thing is something else that, in a literal sense, it is not. By asserting that a thing is something else, a metaphor creates a close association that underscores an important similarity between these two things. • Example: • The Mclaren P1 is the cheetah of the car world. • It is a monster that cannot be stopped.

  7. Think of imagery/ a simile/ a metaphor for this picture. . .

  8. Your turn!!! • You will be split into groups; each group will be assigned a group of chapters. • Work in your groups to find three examples of figurative language • You must write out the quote, then label which type of figurative language it is • After, work INDIVIDUALLY to re-write your journal entry today on a separate sheet of paper, using TWO instances of imagery, TWO similes, and TWO metaphors. • Staple this to your other handout and turn it in. • What you don’t finish today is DUE TOMORROW!!!
