Firchau: Language Arts (Week of March 12)

WRITING

This week we will continue our exploration of poetry continuing with haiku and eventually enter the world of tanka.

GRAMMAR/READING

Figurative Language (hyperboles, idioms, metaphors, similes, personification, and alliteration) will be the focus the next two weeks. The students will read "The Bunyans," a short story in Literacy Place. This story gives the students opportunities to identify specific types of figurative language in context. We will analyze the author's use of figurative language as we discuss the author's purpose and the mood the author sets. Finally, the students will write and illustrate figurative language flap books.
