Quarter 3, Week 6 - Literary Devices

For this week we just discussed Literary Devices. Before we discussed we had our Flag Ceremony since its Monday. What is Literary Device? It is a tool used by writers to hint at larger themes, ideas, and meaning in a story or piece of writing. Literary devices have many types. One of Literary devices used are Simile and metaphor, these two are the most used literary devices, It refers to the drawing of comparison between the two unrelated and dissimilar things, people, beings, places, and concepts. We discussed 8 literary devices but it can be counted as 9 when we separate simile and metaphor.
Other literary devices are; foreshadowing, flashback, symbolism, rhyme, oxymoron, repetition, and rhetorical questions. We also are asked to give some examples. At the end of our discussion, we had some assessments and tests. We also have some announcements about some of my teachers' concerns.

This week our topic is all about Judging the validity of Evidence. Before we proceed to our topic our teacher gave us a spelling quiz to help us grow our vocabulary. In the spelling, we spelled words like; cliche, liaison, minuscule, etc. After our spelling activity, we had our Anglo-American Literature Icon, Stephenie Meyer. Stephenie Meyer is an American Novelist and a film producer, she is known for writing the famous vampire romance series Twilight. Some of Stephenie Meyer's books are New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn, etc. We also have our Figure of Speech in focus. This week the figure of speech in focus is Paradox. What is Paradox? It is a figure of speech that is a seemingly absurd or self-contradictory statement that when investigated or explained may prove to be well-founded or true. One example sentence of a Paradox is Save money by spending it. Our activity is making a blog as a performance task.
