Tredecim and Recitation Poem

Starter 10

  1. Choose your favorite piece of figurative language from the examples on the board.
  2. Write it + the author name.
  3. Chart it like you did yesterday in class: Identify the subject and what it's being compared to, list the similarities, and explain in a few sentences what the author is trying to convey with the comparison.
  4. Draw the image this piece of language makes in your mind.
Choose the topic you're most likely to do for your final poem.  Write a Tredecim about that concept, or about an object related to that concept.  Play with the power of figurative language here- make your comparisons insightful and interesting!
