Figurative Language
This week our class will begin reading Lafacadio by Shel Silverstein. It leads us into the introduction of different forms of figurative language. In chapter one we will learn about onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia is the formation of a word, as meow, honk or bam, by imitation of a sound made by or associated with its referent.
Reflection - Activity 1
Activity 1 was a bit frustrating. I am still trying to understand how to navigate from one section to another. The program, itself, is not as intuitive as some of the programs I have worked with. I feel like there are a lot of hoops to jump through, but do not know which order to begin jumping. The session on Wednesday was helpful.
Wow,nice work,Chelly! I wish you were here helping me with this assignment.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great idea to introduce onomatopoeia! I am sure your students would love to watch it!
ReplyDeleteClearly I'm inept -- thought I'd posted a comment already, but Katie said it wasn't there. So I will try again! I LOVED your Tigger movie illustrating Onomatopoeia! Way to go, Chelly!
ReplyDeleteI love this! Good repetition of the word and leaves the kids wondering. Here is a link to a video I have used once or twice in the past. http://youtu.be/f1b5kCvVBo8 It's kind of odd but kind of catchy too. They'll start singing the refrain :)
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed, Chelly. Glad I live next door to you so I can get help. Love the 2nd grade photo - appropriate title! Also like the golf template - fits you well.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Chelly! The video will be a good way to get the make a visual connection with the long word. Connecting the vocab word to the concept is usually the hardest part. Love the golf in the background.
ReplyDeleteGreat background Chelly. I agree that it did take some time to get oriented to the blogger structure. In general I feel that Google products can do A LOT if you know how to use them, but they aren't overly intuitive. Very fun way to hook the kids in.
