Mrs. Burgess's Instructions

Post A
- 2 vocabulary words that you found in the book (with page numbers). Define them in the blog.
- 3 examples of figurative language (irony, personification, imagery, metaphor, symbol, simile, onomatopoeia, etc.) and how you know it is that literary element.
- Pick a quote from the reading and explain its significance (include page number).
- Write a sentence in which you describe one emerging theme of the book.

Post B A
thoughtful response to the book of approximately 250 words. You must cite the page you're referring to as well. Some possible ways to respond to literature include: pick a quote and comment on its significance make connections to the book (self, text, world, media), analyze the protagonist (or author if it’s nonfiction), pretend you're writing a letter to the author or main character, etc. There are many many ways you can do this.
