Objective: By the end of class, students will analyze style and figurative language in order to improve reading comprehension and writing skills.
DO NOW
Imagery uses all the senses - sight, smell, sound, touch and taste. Author's use figurative language to create imagery.
USE figurative language (similes, metaphors, alliteration, idioms, etc) to write a five line poem describing Randolph.
Direct Instruction
Similes, metaphors, personification, hyperboles, etc all help the reader create images in their minds.
When the reader can see, feel, hear, taste and smell what the author is describing, this is called IMAGERY. Figurative language helps create imagery.
Figurative language is used in all types of writing (non-fiction, fiction, news articles, etc). it is NOT exclusive to poetry!!!
