English 8

P3
Finish the last page of the package on metaphors

P4
The antonyms we discussed today were as follows:
  • peaceful/chaotic
  • hushed/loud
  • relaxed/tense
  • happy/sad
  • light/dark
  • cold/hot
  • sweet/sour 
  • soft/rough
In class you chose one pair and turned each word into a simile like so...

"As hushed as falling snow" and "As loud as a screaming firetruck"

Next, you gave three synonyms for each word in the pair so that your final product looked like this...

Quiet, silent, mute,
As hushed as falling snow.

Blaring, blasting, roaring,
As loud as a screaming firetruck.

For homework, do the same thing for two more word pairs.
