"Big Fish" Tale



Students were to have their rough copy of their Big Fish Tale written for today. They are now to go back into their story and add the following:

Figures of Speech:
1 Simile- a direct comparison using like or as
1 Personification- giving human characteristics to inanimate objects or animals
1 Onomatopoeia- a word resembling a sound
1 Hyperbole- an extreme exaggeration

This rough copy is due tomorrow. The story should be no more that two pages in length double-spaced. They should highlight the four figures of speech they used.
