Bell Ringer
On the discussion board, write a poem about a thing, but do not name that thing in the poem. Instead, use 3 types of figurative language in your poem to describe the thing. Your reader should be able to guess the subject of your poem.

Example:
Glittering specks Illuminate the darkness; Each one shines like a tiny diamond. Some huddle together in clusters; Others stand alone. Still others shoot through the sky Like arrows; On these one makes a wish!

Individual Reading Time/Writing Time
As you read in your novels, look for examples of figurative language. Write your examples down on a post-it and put it on the chart on the homework board. (These would make excellent LOT 3 journal entries as well!) You may also need to work on your thINK essay or updating your reviews on Goodreads.
