Lesson (30 min)
MORE **Imagery**!
 * Today's figurative language words are:
 * hyperbole
 * personification
 * idioms
 * onomatopoeia
 * alliteration


 * Define each word in the "vocab" section of your notebook using [|wordnik.com]. (If you did not put the definitions of "simile" and "metaphor" in this section, do that as well.
 * After each definition, create an original example of each.


 * Read the passage from[| The Kite Runner] by Khaled Hosseini.
 * As we read, write down examples of figurative language and label what kind it is. (Onomatopoeia? Metaphor?)
 * Share out!

Writing Activity (50 min)
NOW you will write a 1 page narrative about a snapshot of your life. Just as a picture captures a single moment of your life, I want your narrative to also capture a single moment.
 * Think of a specific moment in your life. It can be significant (football game, birthday, first date, etc) or it can be just a fun moment (girl's night out, a sleepover, etc.).
 * Write 1 page about the moment.
 * Include LOTS of imagery detail, description, and explanation. I want to **SEE, HEAR, FEEL, SMELL,** and **TASTE** the experience!!
 * Also, include AT LEAST 4 examples of figurative language in your narrative. You have 7 different kinds to choose from, you choose the ones that compliment your narrative.
 * You may be asked to share your narrative, so please make sure it is something you do not mind for others to know about!
 * (Look at my ghost story as an example.)

==Homework ==
 * Do not forget journal entries! As you read, look for examples of figurative language. Jot the example sentences down in your journal for a journal entry.
 * Reminder: I will check journal entries next Thursday!
