LA Notes - Updated November 30
LA Notes
Symbolism - a symbol is a word or image that represents something else. The eagle is a symbol for the United States. The red maple leaf represents Canada. The dove is a symbol for peace. The colour white symbolizes purity.
Poets/songwriters use the symbol frequently because it often has a strong emotional impact as in the song Blackbird by Paul McCartney. The blackbird is not a bird at all, but represents the black race of people.
Simile – compares two or more unlike things using the words ‘like’ or ‘as’. Examples include: The elephant is like a rope. The ice was as smooth as glass. She is as tall as a giraffe. The teacher is like a drill sergeant.
Metaphor - compares two or more unlike things NOT using the words 'like' or 'as'. Examples include: The giraffe dunked the basketball. The noisy children were a carnival ride out of control. I am a brain in PRA.
Personification - giving human qualities to an idea, animal or object. Examples include: June bug plucking his guitar. The oversized coat swallowed me whole. The hole punch ate the sheet of looseleaf. The alarm clock was yelling at me this morning.
Rhyme Scheme - the pattern of end rhymes in a poem. Mark the lines that end with the same sound with a letter. Begin with the letter 'a', and then mark each new sound at the end of a line with a new letter. Example:
This bridge will only take you halfway there .......... a
To those mysterious lands you long to see: ............ b
Through gypsy camps and swirling Arab fairs ........... a
And moonlit woods where unicorns run free ............. b
So come and walk awhile with me and share ............. a
The twisting trails and wondrous worlds I've known. ... c
But this bridge will only take you halfway there- ..... a
The last steps you'll have to take alone. ............. c

Here is tonight's homework:
Maths - A corriger (addition et soustraction).
Francais - Next week during my absence, students will be working on their recit biographique. This has been explained in great detail and students will have next week to work on their first draft. This is not a group project, they will be completing this on their own. The criteria for this writing assignment will be to follow the format of the informative texts we have been reading, and writing in both the past and imperfect tense.
Sc.Nat - Students will be learning about biomes starting tomorrow. Next week, again during my absence, students will have the choice to work with a partner or on their own. They must imagine that they are a travel agency and attract tourists to visit their particular biome. All criteria for this project will have been gone over with the students prior to Friday. They will have all of next week to work on this project. I have not set a due date as I will allow a couple of days upon my return to finish up this project as there a quite a few steps to complete. The kids are quite excited and I am sure their projects will be fantastic :)
*** Firefighter's Challenge is scheduled for November 23rd ***
*** Report Cards for First Term will be going home on November 22nd. Parent teacher interviews are scheduled by teachers for November 25th.
