Literary+Terms

I plan to take a few minutes before we start a novel and discuss what the difference between similes, metaphors and an oxymorons. I think this would be helpful for students to focus on while reading, because these literary elements can completely change the meaning of context. We will look examples of already created similes, metaphors, and oxymorons and then I would like for us to create each example as a class. As we go through the next novel we will continue finding and examining these literary elements, pulling them out and giving them meaning.

// Hi, Samantha, The three elements you've chosen here work well together. If you decide to pursue this as your focus, you'll want to be explicit about making a connection to language in some way. I think this is very easily done, but it needs to be a part of your plan and lesson. I look forward to reading more. Now on to your second idea... Best, Dr. Y //
