Today you get to choose what you want to dive deeper into! Choose one of the following choices to deepen your understanding of concepts.
Option One:
Think about the simile Stephanie used to describe her friendship with Helie. Then think about a relationship in your own life. The relationship can be family, friends etc, and it doesn't necessarily have to be positive. -Make your own Google Doc and put in your class folder. *Describe that relationship using figurative language to help us understand the connection between you. Use metaphor, simile, hyperbole, or personification in your writing. *Extension, begin writing a snapshot narrative of a moment in time that best shows your relationship and how it fits your figurative language similarly to how Helie and Stephanie did in the "Kimchi and Cornbread" article. Option Three:
Post to Kidblog on the following. 1. Read the following article from December 7th in the Washington Post. 2. Then use at least two compound sentences to respond to this article by first summarizing what the article was about and then giving a personal response. For your personal response, try to explain how it connects to some of the topics we've explored concerning conflicts, stereotypes, and honoring differences. Challenge: Use a figurative language in your personal response.
