Today students worked with their groups to produce their metaphor posters. It was great to see the students working together to get their plans from yesterday worked out on their posters. Look at all those hands working together on one poster. Way to work as a team.

Just a point of clarification, a simile is in fact a specific type of a metaphor. So posters for this assignment can use like or as if needed. When asked on a figurative language test or worksheet to identify a simile, if  the  comparison  includes the word like or as and simile is one of the choices it should always be selected as the best or most accurate choice. 

Students were also reminded that the first weekly vocabulary quiz will be taken in class tomorrow. To help everyone understand the depth of questions that will be asked on the test, everyone was encouraged to take a practice test in Canvas prior to their class tomorrow when they will take the real test.
