2 nd 6 Weeks A-Z Questions Language Arts

A Write a sentence using two vocabulary words from lessons 3-6 WITH an onomatopoeia.

B Flashback to last six weeks! What is the purpose of the inciting incident in a plot ?

C “Wind. Explosions of light. Wind. Choking dust. Wind. Ringing in his ears, pain. Wind. He kept going, his eyes glued…just a few steps ahead of him.” How is the author’s message enhanced by his use of repetition? The Scorch Trials, p.135

D “He heard a ringing now, a steady, high- pitched buzz that felt like nails in his eardrums. The wind tried to eat his clothes, dirt stung his skin, darkness swirled around him like living night.” Sketch an image of the scene described below. The Scorch Trials, p.134

E  Copy the sentence below, adding two types of imagery along with two types of figurative language to it. He walked through the snow.

F 1. Copy the quote.  2. Explain how Hinckley uses the metaphor to convey his message about life.

G Explain the difference between a simile and a metaphor. Write your own simile and then change just a few of the words and turn it into a metaphor.

H

I Have a partner “test” you! Write the seven days of the week with correct spelling and punctuation. Your partner can check your work!

J What are some reasons why writers might italicize certain words?

K Write a brief story in which you personify one of our vocabulary words. This means you have to choose a word and give that word human characteristics. So if that word could think and speak and do things, what would it do? Have fun and be creative!

L Have a partner “test” you! Write the 12 months of the year with correct spelling and punctuation. Your partner can check your work!

M Think about how often people use hyperboles. Which ones are the most common?

N Write a sentence with a hyperbole in it. Include one of this 6 week’s vocabulary words.

O in are class we’re are lerning about the various type’s of figertive language there’s metaphor simile hyperpole persofication those are the mane ones. Correct the following sentence.

P Choose one of this 6 week’s words and write a creative “concrete poem” about that word! What shape helps represent that word? What will your poem say that will help us understand the meaning of the word and how to use it?

Q Think back to what we learned about plot last six weeks. Explain what the “exposition” is, along with what type of information you typically learn in an exposition.

R Trilogies are super popular right now. If you could write your own trilogy (and maybe even get it turned into a movie!), what would it be about? Use your imagination (and any three vocabulary words you want) to describe the basic plot of your trilogy! Don’t forget to explain the setting and anything interesting about the protagonist or antagonist.

S Fog The fog comes on little cat feet. It sits looking over the harbor and city on silent haunches and then moves on. Copy the poem to the right. Be sure you copy it exactly as it appears. Write about how the speaker uses figurative language to convey his message.

T Look back at letters “I” and “L”. Which words are you having trouble spelling? Copy them here, three times each. If you didn’t miss any words, draw or sketch a scene from your favorite month of the year instead.

U If you could be a dessert, what would you be? Why? Describe what would make you the best dessert ever! You must use SENSORY IMAGES ( sight, sound, taste, touch, smell)

V Now you get to do a free write on this quote! Copy the quote, and then write until your partner’s timer goes off. Have fun!

W Make a list of 10 things that are actually pretty good about a Monday! Be creative

X Pick any three vocabulary words from the school year that you’ve learned in Language Arts class so far. Use those three words to explain something you learned in either math, science, or social studies. Write your explanation so that I can learn something from you today!

Y Why do writers use figurative language? What would writing be like without figurative language?

Z
