  2. Carousel of Quotes: Figurative Language in Chapter 3 • There are charts hanging around the room with excerpts pulled from Chapter 3 of Bud, Not Buddy. • Each excerpt contains figurative language, specifically similes.

  3. Carousel of Quotes: Figurative Language in Chapter 3 • You will travel around the room from chart to chart with your group, like you’re on a carousel, reading, thinking, talking and writing about figurative language. • The topics you will be discussing are the same ones you worked on with your Figurative Language in Bud, Not Buddy graphic organizer. Which language is figurative? What is the literal meaning? How does the figurative language reveal Bud’s feelings?

  4. Directions: • Each chart has it’s own marker, use that to write your thoughts. • Take turns reading aloud the excerpt at the top of the chart. • In your novel, find the page where the figurative language appears and read the text around it. • Each member of your group should share his/her thoughts on the three columns of the chart: What’s the figurative language? What’s the literal meaning? How does it affect tone? • Take turns recording your thoughts on the chart. • Rotate to the next chart.

  5. Excerpts: • “The only thing I could hear was my own breath. It was so loud that it sounded like there were six scared people locked up in the shed. I closed my eyes and thought real hard about making my breathing slow down. Pretty soon it sounded like the five other breathers in the shed had left” (p. 21).

  6. “It felt like the shed was getting smaller and smaller and the little mouths were getting closer and closer” (p. 22).

  7. “…he could kiss my wrist if he thought that was going to happen” (p. 26).

  8. “I stood upon the woodpile and held the rake like it was a Louisville Slugger. I eyed where the bat was sleeping and revved the rake like I was going to hit a four-hundred-foot home run” (p. 26).

  9. “It sounded like I’d turned on a buzz saw in the shed. All of a sudden it felt like someone had stuck a red-hot nail right into my left cheek” (p.28).

  10. Carousel of Quotes Synthesis Come sit back down and let’s review the charts!

  11. NOW… • Put your head down and listen to the following question. • I am going to read a question aloud and I want you to think about it for 2-3 minutes. • When I say, pick your head up and write down your answer to the question on the piece of paper I provide you. • After you have written your answer, turn to your neighbor either in front of you, behind you or next to you and share your thoughts.
