PBH Due Everyday until 3.31.14

Hello All,


Please do the following:


I. Reading At Home


Continue to Read! Read! Read! Read! Read! Read! everyday! This must be a combination of the following:

• a book (fiction/nonfiction) on your independent reading level
• an informational article from a newspaper, magazine (printed or online) ranging from sports, science, history, politics, research articles about stereotypes.
• the informational text can also be your SS and Science textbooks and/or articles Kaur and Smith gives you.

II. Practicing Poetic Literary Devices


Please note that the work you will receive for test prep is online. Since I will not be able to teach you literary devices in depth, as of now, and the test mostly requires a basic knowledge of it, I decided to provide you with a variety of online links that will support you in understanding and reviewing poetic literary devices.


Click on the link(s) below to practice and review poetic literary devices. If there are instructions listed, be sure to read this first before proceeding. Also, if there is sound and music involved, TURN IT UP! :)
