 Metaphor (extended): is a figure of speech that compares one thing to another. It often makes an abstract concept more concrete. An extended metaphor is when the same metaphor is committed to throughout the poem.  Every time you identify a metaphor in a poem I expect you to create an explanatory T- chart. It is a method of annotation which pulls all the meaning from the metaphor.

Grade 10

 You will be reading at least 2 independent books throughout the semester.  Your mission for this weekend is to find a book that you will work with for September.  You will be completing different assignments for this book so it is important to find a book that is:  A realistic length  A good challenge, yet not too hard.  ENJOYMENT

1) Difficulty Level If there are 5-10 words on the first page that you don’t understand then this is the challenge for you. 2) Style Challenge yourself with a book that is in an entirely different format than you are used to. (Framed Narratives, Switching first person) 3) Subject Matter Challenge yourself with reading a book that stretches your mind in different directions. Ex. WWII books. Common to all- Sincere Interest Aka. No random choices

 For those who enjoy reading and already have an idea of what you might want to read make sure you meet one of the challenges with the book you also happen to be interested in.  For people who find it harder to choose the first place I would go is Goodreads.

 If you have a book that you’ve liked in the past then you can find lists based on that.  If you have a particular genre that you know you like then you can find endless lists for this (horror, magical realism, drama, psychological)  If you have a random interest then there are also suggestions.  Also Highly Rated books are not always purely hype.

 There are a few books that I don’t want to see simply because they are in the collective unconscious and most likely you know too much about these books to begin with.  Avoid books which have inspired a movie or TV Show that you have seen.
