Individual Assessment
On construction paper, 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. Write the subject of your poem on the back of your paper. 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! //On back: Stars would be written (the subject of the poem).//

Reading/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. You may also need to work on your thINK essay or updating your reviews on Goodreads.

Homework
