After reviewing submitted assignments, you will be given the opportunity to make up any missed work you have for this class given that the marking period will be closing on Friday, 10/30. All classwork that is currently displayed on google classrooms will be archived on Monday 11/2 at 8 am.

When you are finished with any outstanding work, please go back to google classroom and be sure to click the button that says SUBMIT! If you didn't do this for an assignment in the past, but you did the work, go back and mark it as submitted on google classrooms as well. Be sure to touch base with me by the end of class by unmuting yourself or writing in the chat to discuss the progress you have made. I will be available to assist you through the duration of the period.

With that being said, answer your CHECK-IN QUESTION for today in at least 2 - 4 complete sentences: What do you plan on working on today? Do you have outstanding work on google classrooms, padlet, pear-deck, nearpod, etc.? How much work do you need to make up or revise for this class?

Also, if you missed our class's check-in padlet assignment, it is linked below.

1. Allegory: A short moral story.
2. Alliteration: A series of words close together in a poem that have the same first consonant sound. E.g.: Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers.
3. Assonance: The repetition of the vowel sound across words within the lines of the poem creating internal rhymes.E.g.: crying time; hop-scotch; great flakes; between trees; and, the kind knight rides by.
4. Imagery: The author's use of description and vivid language, deepening the reader's understanding of the work, by appealing to the senses (sight, sounds, movement, smell, taste, texture, feeling, etc.).
5. Metaphor: When an object in, or the subject of, a poem is described as being the same as another otherwise unrelated object. E.g.: The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas…
6. Personification: A poetic device where animals, plants or even inanimate objects, are given human qualities – resulting in a poem full of imagery and description. E.g.: The table cried when he sat on it.
7. Rhyme: This is the repetition of syllables, typically at the end of a verse line. E.g.: A lazy time is the truest crime.
8. Simile: When the subject of the poem is described by comparing it to another object or subject, using 'as' or 'like'. E.g.: the subject may be 'creeping as quietly as a mouse' or be 'sly, like a fox.'
9. Repetition: This is when the same word or phrase is stated multiple times through a work of literature. E.g.: who are you, who is your family, who is your friends, they are you.
10. Rhythm: A pattern used in poetry to make the words easier on the ear, best discovered when the poem is read aloud. E.g.: We huddle closer in our blankets, from the cold, and the dark, in the dark...
