Copy New Vocabulary Into Vocabulary Notebook.

Check the words and definitions and parts of speech on Quizlet for Chapters 4 and 5. Copy only those 18 words, definitions and parts of speech into your vocabulary notebook. We'll tackle the rest next week.

Remember we talked about the figurative language on the SMART board today. What would the simile "...Mr. Morrison clearly , moving silently, like a jungle cat...." look like?

What would the personification, "The moon slid from its dark covers..." look like?

OR what would the metaphor, "....the vision of ghostly headlights" look like?

Let's create a rubric together for this assignment. Type the example of figurative language and how do we illustrate it? Let's talk tomorrow.

Test next Monday, January 28th. Make sure you are familiar with all the characters (you have a character sheet). Know the most important events from Chapters 1-4. We'll hopefully be done Chapter 4 by then.

Make sure you know your subject, object, possessive and reflexive pronouns.
