Pre-AP
In today's class we began a discussion of tone and mood and how it is used to help us visualize what we read. Specifically, we discussed how Shakespeare used specific words and setting to help set the ominous tone of Romeo and Juliet.
In addition to this, we also discussed several dramatic terms that help us to understand the play even more deeply. (Special thanks to Robin Ball for creating this powerpoint.)

Today we discussed and practiced figurative language. Specifically, we talked about five different kinds of figurative language: simile, metaphor, hyperbole, personification, and idiom. We wrote our own examples of each and then practiced reading through short stories to identify the figurative language found therein.
