Friday 12/15 Reading - Discuss Figurative Language

Purpose: I can discuss figurative language with my book club to better understand what the text means and not just what it says.

1. Have your "Figurative Language" Response ready to share in a Book Club Meeting with Mr. Erickson or Mr. Peterson
2. Practice decoding words with this Context Clue Online Activity
3. Thinking & Writing About Your Reading: "Unknown Words" Response is due Tuesday
• Identify words/phrases that are unknown to you.
• Record the sentence (with page #) each is found in.
• Identify the decoding strategy you used to determine the meaning.
• Synthesize the meaning of the word/phrase.
• If you are having trouble finding unknown words, complete this substitute activity instead.
4. Free Reading Time
