Today we work on a worksheet where we examined similes and metaphors from Tuesdays with Morrie and wrote our own metaphors. Each student had to read at least one metaphor out loud.
Later, I read even more examples of student writing from Monday's lesson. We learned three things about original compositions:
A. How NOT to begin them.
B. How NOT to end them
C. How to avoid cliche ideas
The Tuesdays With Morrie Test will be next Tuesday afternoon, which is a long block class.
Students also worked on a crossword review and were given a practice test.
Tuesdays test will have a out 45 matching and MC questions. It will also include an original composition prompt (that is, you'll have to write a composition that could be expository, narrative, persuasive, or descriptive -- your choice).
