  14. Symbolism An object that stands for an idea. Fairness Justice Balance of Power Equality

  15. Allusion A reference, within a literary work, to another work of fiction, a film, a piece of art, or even a real event.

  21. Show; Not Tell Use specific nouns dog…..terrier student…eighth grader building…monument

  22. Show; Not Tell Elizabeth, Ali, and Carol spent last Friday night over Amy’s house. At midnight they decided to grab some flashlights and play tag. Ali opened the front door. It creaked ominously. The four girls huddled together and peered past the safety of the entrance. Telling sentence: It was very dark outside.

  23. A collective shudder ran through the group. It was as if the house balanced upon a bottomless pit. Carol whispered, “Flashlights.” Four laser-like beamsentered the blackness. Useless. The light barely pierced the doorway before it was eaten and swallowed by the night. Wordlessly, each girl switched off her flashlight and stepped slowly away from the door.

  24. Now you will create a very short story. Choose a picture as inspiration. Your story must be an example of SHOW NOT TELL
