Next, we returned to our work with looking at what elements will contribute to a positive overall class experience. I handed out rectangles of fabric that we will use as contribution flags. With the basic principles of our class in mind, everyone drew two pictures on their flag representing the following:
Picture 1 - what you bring to the class as a person (what contributions you will make)
Picture 2 - what you need from the group for this to be a good learning experience for you
After everyone had time to complete their flag we went around and people shared out the drawings on the flags we created in class yesterday.
Following this we began talking about simile and metaphor. I gave people a sheet to practice different forms of simile and metaphor. We looked at how to come up with examples of these types of figurative language based on the definitions and examples from the figurative language handout (see below). People will be completing the front side of this practice sheet for homework.
