Hope everyone is safe after Matthew passed through. I'm looking forward to sharing this week's text with my students.
Friday we started looking at a famous Langston Hughes's poem using an extended metaphor called Mother to Son. Our first task will be to use this poem as a pattern for our own extended metaphor poem. Later we'll practice 2 skills, point of view and irony using another classic story by O'Henry, The Gift of the Magi.Click on the title for a link to the text we'll be using Students will also learn about the 3 types of irony. They'll see these 3 Ted Ed produced videos that explain each type. Click on the irony example to view. Verbal, Situational, Dramatic We'll explore how the author's point of view impacts the story. We'll look at first person and how it limits the readers knowledge and compare the types of third person and what makes them different.
