Yesterday we began to review figurative language as a class. Here are the examples you came up with:

1st period's definitions

3rd period's definitions

• Here is another HELPFUL GUIDE TO FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE if you need more examples.

3. Figurative Language Analysis (as a GROUP)

• Each group will be assigned a stanza of Angelou's poem to analyze.
• Your mission is to create a presentation with the following information:
• Your stanza numbers
• Your names
• 4 different examples of imagery/figurative language 
• The main idea of the poem 
• Discussion questions for the class
• There is a SLIDE TEMPLATE HERE that you can use to complete the project. 
• One person from your table must click on that link and click "use template" in the top right corner.
• Share the slides with me (cdaniel@sandi.net) and all of your table group members. 
• Be ready to present this project to the class. 

Reminders: 
Have a great afternoon! Remember, ASB meets after school today.
