GRADE 7 and 8 ENGLISH

Congratulations...your children are brilliant!
I am SO impressed with their grasp of literary devices!

What we have been learning so far:
**Ask your child to explain these to you!!
  1. Similes (Example: She is as beautiful as an angel)
  2. Metaphors (Example: She is an angel)
  3. Alliteration (An angel named Angela aged awfully)
  4. Onomatopoeia (PING! an Angel got her wings)
  5. Hyperbole ( The angel had tried a million times to get her wings but didn't)
  6. Tone/mood/genre: Drama/comedy/mystery etc.
