Today we worked on a sheet where we identified metaphors and similes from the novel. Then we discussed the Robert Frost poem Nothing Gold Can Stay. Students learned that Frost used flowers and gold to represent youth. Students are supposed to go home, open the door, and tell their parents, "I'm in the springtime of my life!" Then parents should respond, "Shut the front door!"
Students also worked on their own metaphors for youth.
The poetry out of prose assignment from earlier in the week will be due Monday.
