2. On Tap: Backwards Day Quiz on edmodo: READ CAREFULLY. Diction Day 5 Finish “A Rose for Emily” ICTW #18: Visual Literacy

3. Diction 5 Read and think: They scuttled for days and days and days till they came to a great forest, 'sclusively full of trees and bushes and stripy, speckly, patchy-blatchy shadows, and there they hid: and after another long time, what with standing half in the shade and half out of it, and what with the slippery-slidy shadows of the trees falling on them, the Giraffe grew blotchy, and the Zebra grew stripy, and Eland the Koodoo grew darker.... Rudyard Kipling, "How the Leopard Got His Spots," Just So Stories In your notes, answer the following questions: 1.What is the dictionary definition of scuttled"! How would your mental picture change if the passage said. They trudged for days and days...? 2.Consider the hyphenated adjectives Kipling uses in this passage: patchy-blatchy and slippery-slidy. How do these adjectives help the reader understand the scene?

4. Diction 5 Now you try it: Write two sentences about going on a long car trip. Your first sentence should contain a strong verb that creates a vivid picture for the reader. Your second sentence should use a hyphenated adjective that either rhymes (like patchy-blatchy) or has alliteration (like slippery-slidy). It's OK to make up part of the hyphenated adjective (like blatchy), but it must be understandable to the reader. Remember that the purpose of this kind of diction is to make an experience come alive for the reader. Be ready to share your sentences out loud! Now you try it:
