1A and 2A Homework - Finish your alliteration "tongue twisters"/paragraphs for next class.
5B - Tomorrow, you should turn in your revised extended responses from "All Summer in a Day."  If you never turned one in, this also gave you an opportunity to make up that grade.  For Thursday, you will create an alliteration paragraph (you will receive instructions tomorrow).
6B - Hyperbole homework is due tomorrow.  In class, we will work on revising the extended responses from "All Summer in a Day."  We will talk about what a good extended response should look like and model ours after the example.  If you never turned in a response, you will have the opportunity to write one tomorrow.
7B - Last class, we worked in groups to analyze three poems in the exploratory journals.  You should have made it to the extended response on personification, as well, but I understand that some did not make it there.  We will work on those tomorrow, as well as on hyperbole.  You will most likely receive homework on hyperbole tomorrow, to be due Thursday.
