Targets for Today:
I can recognize and use several types of figurative language: simile, metaphor, hyperbole, personification, onomatopoeia, allusion, and alliteration.

Today’s Agenda for Monday, May 20, 2019:
1. Drill each other on your word parts -- test next time.
2. Create your Figuratively Speaking Poster
It's a good idea to do it on a separate piece of paper from your photo, then tape them together.

from the famous Ms. Dorsey
Though the night was as dark as pitch, (simile/comparison)
seeing the play Nosferatu live on stage was a dream come true. (metaphor)
We were dying to meet the actor who played the title role. (hyperbole)
You can tell that the camera loved us as we danced with the vampire after the show. (personification)
Thud, thud, stomp, stomp went our feet. (onomatopoeia)
This was a vampire who neither sparkled nor made girls swoon,
but spending time with him was a thriller. (allusions)
Very soon the villainous, vigorous, voracious vampire
vanished from view. (alliteration)
