Metaphors

I. In your daybook, make two columns labelled Latinate vs. Anglo-Saxon words.  Categorize these words:  superfluous, nomenclature, subsequent, follow, name, enough.

We watch this video. So, think about your words. Just because it comes from the Latin, does NOT make it better!

II. Another thing to think about in your Observation paper is using a comparison to help us imagine something.  These are similes and metaphors.  For instance, look at the handout.  Copy down your two favorites into your daybook, please.

Now we go to the lab, where you open your draft in Moodle and see about corrections/changes. Also, finish comment sheets from yesterday, as needed.Do you know about search and highlighting?  Check all your their/there/their, for starters.  Avoid "There is"  or "There are".  Is dialogue punctuated correctly?

Homework:


1.  Bring to class your printed final version, MLA style (see yellow handout), and all drafts and comment sheets.

2.  TWFTD:  sinister in the OED -- be sure to scroll down through all meanings.
