Presentation transcript:

Bellringer Directions : On a separate sheet of paper, answer the following prompts and be prepared to discuss your answers. 1. Define the word “ slang.” 2. Give one example of slang you used in elementary or middle school, and one example of slang you use now, along with the intended meaning of each word or phrase. 3. Write down your interpretation of the following sentence: - "That ossified cake-eater with the cheaters on thinks his applesauce will land him a date."

Let’s Watch…

Let’s Define…  Slang is a kind of language that Merriam Webster describes as "peculiar to a particular group, an informal nonstandard vocabulary composed typically of coinages, arbitrarily changed words, and extravagant, forced, or facetious figures of speech."

Say what?!?  Simply stated, slang is:  The very informal use of vocabulary and common expressions that are more playful and natural and change with the times.

Let’s Discuss…  Keeping our definition of slang in mind, in what situations would using slang be inappropriate? Why?

Let’s Explore…  We have a clearer understanding of what slang is and when it’s appropriate to use.  Now, let’s look at some slang from the 1920’s so we can better appreciate the time period in which The Great Gatsby is set.  Use your slang dictionary to follow along. “And Hows” are welcome but no “Bronx Cheers” allowed.
