We have been learning about figurative language all year. Thinking about similes, metaphors, hyperboles, imagery, and personification~ I want you to record and write out different pieces that are in the book that you are reading. Tell the title of the book, the author, and give at least 3 examples of figurative language. Be sure to tell what the similes, metaphors, personification, and hyperboles are REALLY saying. This is graded!
Tell me about your book! You all are getting the hang of it now:) I would like to have a quick summary of your book. Then tell me three new and/or interesting words that you found! Finally, what is one question you still have about your book. Be sure to respond thoughtfully to someone else's response:) Here we go again! I was pretty interested in your responses this week! You did a great job conversing with one another. So here you are again....But this week, I want you to compare and contrast two books that you have read. Tell me similarities or differences in the genres, characters, settings, conflicts, or whatever else you find! Be sure to tell the titles of the books...they could be picture books too! Also, you need to comment on another student's response:) I just finished a story by J.D. Robb. It is very similar to James Patterson because they are both fiction and mysterys. One difference it the books, was that the main character and detective in the James Patterson book was Alex Cross, which is a guy detective. In the J.D. Robb book, the detective was Eve...a strong and ambitious woman detective. There is a comparison from me! It's that time again! I am sure that all of you were reading over the break. So, tell us about your book! Don't forget to write the title. You can summarize it, but don't give away the ending, make predictions, make a connection, ask a question, tell us some new and interesting words...the possiblities are endless! You should also respond to someone else's post. Not just,"That sounds good!", but more of asking a question and trying to learn more about it. If you read it, maybe tell your favorite part! Have fun!! Get your typing fingers ready! Instead of responding to books in our Reading Notebooks, we are going to respond here:) Each week, you will reflect about a book that you are reading. You can use your notebook sheet to help you. You may tell about the protagonist or antagonist, conflict, rising actions, make predictions, share connections...the possibilities are endless!!
