Week 5 12/6/10 – 12/10/10
As we are reading poetry and looking at various parts of poems, can you notice some of the same figurative language in your independent reading? Using your notes from this week, give examples of each of the parts of figurative language we've been discussing. You may not find all types. If you can’t find any, look at the poem you put on the moodle or the lyrics to your favorite song. The chart attachment is at the bottom of this page 'Week 5 Blog', use it to set up your blog. Turn in a "Process Your Process" chart to show us how you tackled this blog. This is also at the bottom of this page.
Well I started a new book called "Zen and the art of faking it." It is actually really good that it is very interesting for anyone to read. Here's a little summery about the book. "A brave book... Jordan SonnenBlick carries it off with such charm & Elan, you forgot for a moment your heart is breaking." " SonnenBlick shows that even in the midst of tragedy, life goes on, love can flower, & the one thing you can always change is yourself." Since we been talking about poetry, here's one poem that has figurative language in it.
POEM
I'll always remember her,
in good times and in bed.I'll always remember,
the good friend that I had.
Next year we'll be at different schools. ------- Metaphor
We'll have new teachers, new friends,
and all new rules.
I'll always remember,
the good times that we had.
And with her in my heart,
I'll never feel bad!
Every time I saw her,
she made me feel better.
I liked her more then anything, the day that I met her. ------- Simile
I wish we could've been best friends.
That way I'd know she'd remember me,
till the very end!
As our school year comes to an end,
I'll always remember her, as my "wanna be" best friend. ------ Simile
