Today, we went over "My Parents Kept Me from Children who were Rough." I then handed out a booklet entitled "15 Common Errors." Students should be referring to this whenever they get an assignment and an error is written on it. I then handed out the poem "Jamie." As a class, we did the "before" activity and started the "during." For homework, the students are to locate the following devices on their poem:
1. Understatement
2. alliteration
3. personification
4. metaphor
5. repetition
6. oxymoron
7. Consonance
8. Hyperbole
9. simile
10. onomatopoeia
11. Negative and positive connotations (can put down -C or +C to simplify)
All these devices are present and easy to find; many are present more than once. If even one of each is found, I will accept the effort.
