Sorry about the late posting. Tomorrow will be your final in-class composition on Life of Pi. If you do not have the question sheet, please email me or a classmate.
We will also be reviewing poetry terms in preparation for the multiple choice test on poetry on Friday.
The poetic terms you need to know are:
metaphor, simile, alliteration, consonance, assonance, onomatopoeia, connotation, denotation, hyperbole, understatement, personification, apostrophe, oxymoron, rhythm, rhyme scheme, iambic pentameter (blank verse), lyric, sonnet, free verse, narrative, ballad, epic, repetition, sense imagery, pun.
On Monday, January 23, there will be an in-class composition; and on Tuesday, January 24, we will have our final exam (a story and poem you have never seen with multiple choice questions and some composition questions). On Wednesday, you will have class time to prepare (with the partner of your own choosing) for an oral presentation on Thursday, January 25th. Friday is our last day, phew!
