ALP-LA and LA - We are beginning a new study of literary devices. Today we saw a video on literary devices. All students need to review the following terms by writing the definitions of these literary devices:

onomatopoeia       simile       metaphor       personification       alliteration      allusion       paradox       imagery       symbolism        hyperbole

Tomorrow all students will receive a copy of Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech. We will be analyzing this speech for the use of these devices and also for King's use of ethical, emotional, and logical appeals.
