More learning stations today. There were three different learning stations. Yesterday, we did book work in all three stations. Today, I tried to mix it up by having different types of activities. Here is what we did in each station:
Station #1: Today we’re focusing on figurative language. Remember, figurative language means similes, metaphors, personification, symbolism, and hyperbole (exaggeration).
In this learning station, you will read several examples of poems that use figurative language. Follow the steps below. You can work with other students on this. Do your work on the same sheet of paper from the other stations.
1. Choose two of the following poems:
“The Day is Done”, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow p. 319
“I’ll Tell You How the Sun Rose”, by Emily Dickinson p. 321
“Moon Tiger”, by Denise Levertov p. 324
“Silver”, by Walter de la Mare p. 326
“Mending Wall”, by Robert Frost p. 329
2. For the poems you chose, find as many examples of figurative language as you can. Write the quote from the poem down and identify what type of figurative language it is.
3. Do the “For Study and Discussion” questions for the two poems you chose.
Station #2: Students completed a worksheet on figurative language.
Station #3: Students took a multiple choice test on grammar.
