BEAR (n) - the animal
BEAR (v) - to be able to tolerate

BEAM (v) - smiling excessively / VERY happy
BEAM (n) - a long plank - a beam that is used in building a house / or a balance beam in gymnastics

WRITE sentences for each of the four words.


Direct Instruction

Review your "questonnaire." Using powerpoint, one one slide, write a ten line original poem about the feeling you described using imagery and three of the five other poetic devices - hyperbole, allitration, metaphor, simile and/ or personification. Be sure to spell check!!

Then, on another slide, create a visual representation of your poem using a minimum of six images or symbols.

Email or share with me on google docs so I can print and display.
