Students will be introduced to concepts found in figurative language such as metaphor, simile, onomatopoeia. Description: Students will complete as a class two Smart Board activities to introduce the names of writing styles and then use various Smart Board activities. Two games will be used to assess progress as some students find writing difficult and the intent is getting students comfortable with the concepts of figurative writing before we begin actual writing assignments.

IronyIrony is the technique that uses the unexpected. When the opposite of what is expected is used, it is called ironic.

Bent Double, like old beggars under sacks,Knock­kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,Till on the haunting flares we turned our backsAnd towards our distant rest began to trudge.Men marched asleep. Many had lost their bootsBut limped on, blood­shod. All went lame; all blind;Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hootsOf tired, outstripped Five­Nines that dropped behind.
