Here you will find a general description of what is for homework. If you need a copy of the handouts, they will be uploaded to my link on the side bar. Once in the file, select the correct folder for what we are currently studying. Most handouts are there, however some may need to be picked up in class as I do not have a digital version.

Hum 8


Due Wed Dec 16:
Poetry quiz-You need to define in your own words what a simile is, what a metaphor is and what personification is. Also can you give me an example of each one. Could you write/make up an example of each one. (I hope so because you have had to do it for your poem). Also will you be able to identify similes, metaphors and examples of personification.

Due Fri Dec 18:
Good copy of your poem on your character.
Remember to include two similes, 1 metaphor and 1 example of personification.
Also make sure you are connecting it to one big idea of fear, hope, knowledge or friendship and that you have 3 examples of how these help your character survive.(For the poem you only need to focus on one big idea). Final copy will be due Friday Dec. 18. You will be handing it in, in Illuminated Manuscript format and you will be sharing it orally as the "spoken word" in class.
Remember to finish your novel.
Please remember to bring a mug and flashlight for Fridays class.
