I am sorry that I won't be seeing you today!
Today, you will continue your work with sensory details, and then you will begin working with figurative language.
To start, discuss the following questions about Ray Bradbury's story "The Pedestrian" as a class:
- What did you notice about Bradbury's use of sensory details?
- Which sense did he most often appeal to?
- Do you notice any common patterns in how he appeals to the senses?
Then, please watch this video about figurative language: Flocabulary: Figurative Language Video.
As you watch the video, please define the terms on this Notes Sheet. You may need to watch this more than once to catch all of the terms. You may do this in partners.
After you are done with that, I want you to go back to your free writes from last week (you were to choose one of five prompts to write a story about). Please go through and add sensory details, also, pick 4 of the terms from your notes sheet and use that type of figurative language in your story. Highlight anywhere that you add sensory details and figurative language. This will be due tomorrow!
