hwk: - by Monday students most groups should be on page 200 or 203 of their novel. Others maybe finished and one group should be at page 500. As you read, continue using post-its or torn paper to place a book mark on places in the text where you find "evidence" of the following writing style techniques... flashbacks, foreshadowing, hyperbole, imagery, metaphor, personification, and simile. These literary devices are on the sheet provided in class today. Please review the definition and sample provided to guide you with the post-its. ***Suggestion- consider placing the post-it exactly where you read the content that relates to the literary device instead of at the top of the page you found it on. This way you can easily find it during our book reflection and talk on Friday this will continue into next week.
