Feb 11, 2014: Literary Devices & Touching Spirit Bear

Today in class we started by reading our read aloud book Girl Stolen.  It was DEAD quiet while I was reading this!  It was a very intense chapter, so you could have heard a pin drop! Cheyenne finally made her escape, and most surprisingly with Duke! The mean vicious dog! We'll see how far she gets tomorrow!

Following read aloud we practiced our sight words and then reviewed figures of speech.  After reviewing what each figure of speech was, I passed out strips of paper with all of the figures of speech that I could find from chapter 7.  In their lit circle groups, students then had to decide which figure of speech each statement represented.  It was awesome practice! Here are the statements we practiced with.

After this, we read chapter 8 out loud together and students wrote down any figures of speech they found!  We will finish chapter 8 tomorrow!
