Welcome! December 8th, 2017 Friday Do Now Get out your weekly Bell Ringer sheet and begin working on Friday’s assignment. Once the bell rings, you will have five minutes to find and label the examples of figurative language. Remember: Do Now's are INDEPENDENT and QUIET exercises. Thank you 

were like lullabies putting her to sleep. © Presto Plans Read the paragraph below and find examples of metaphor, simile, onomatopoeia, personification, oxymoron and/or alliteration. When Joan woke up to the sun staring in her window, she knew her only choice was to go to the beach for the day. She grabbed her sky blue beach bag and barreled out the door. When she arrived, her car screeched to a halt in the parking lot, and she was ready for a day of relaxation. The warm, fine sand felt like powder under her feet. She laid her towel out and adjusted the sand beneath her until she found a spot to rest. The sun was playing hide and seek with the clouds, but even in the shade the air was warm and comforting. Even the caws of the seagulls overheard were like lullabies putting her to sleep.

Stephen Crane For the next two days, we’re going to be reading a Naturalist story by Stephen Crane called “The Open Boat.” Crane was a journalist who was covering a rebellion in Cuba. On the way back to the U.S., his boat sank, and he was stranded on a life boat (called a dingey) with three other survivors. “The Open Boat” is a near- autobiographical account of his journey. The story contains four characters: a captain, a cook, an oiler (someone who works in the engine room of a boat), and a correspondent (a journalist, which is obviously Crane).

“An Open Boat” Because this story is longer, I don’t want you to worry about critical thinking questions yet. Instead, focus on filling out the character chart as you read today. Make sure you provide a quote or a specific example with a page number for the description, strengths/weaknesses, and fate boxes! This will help you keep track of the characters and the plot for tomorrow’s activities. Remember, if this is a difficult story, so take your time! If you ever feel like you’re getting lost, stop, take a deep breath, and find where you got lost. Figure out what confused you and either read again to clarify, ask a neighbor, or ask me for help. 
