English 10

Today we reviewed euphemisms. Then we moved on to the terms cliche and proverb. Students understood that they should limit if not outright avoid the use of cliches and proverbs in their writing. Then students completed a worksheet on this topic.

Then we read the poem Envy and discussed the term juxtaposition. Students completed #3 from last day which is a look at the juxtapositions of the speaker of the poem and the "other boy". (students completed a chart along with a two sentence summary of each of the two characters).
