Implicit vs. Explicit meanings

Today's Goal: Discuss implicit vs. explicit messages in texts, and the thematic concept of innocence.

The Plan:

1. Read!
2. Take your Literary Devices Test
3. Read "There Was an Old Woman She Had So Many Children She Didn't Know What To Do" and discuss implicit messages.
4. Return to Marin "Marin"
5. Discuss the thematic concept of innocence
6. Gather evidence of simile and metaphor in "Laughter" (pg 17-18)
7. Two Chunk Paragraph Introduction (probably not time for this, but it's here just in case.)

Gathering Evidence:
You will need to make a table in your English Journal that has two columns. (2x4) One column should be labeled "Examples of simile and metaphor" and the other should be labeled "meaning YOU infer."

In this table, you will find one example of a simile and two examples of metaphor in "Laughter." and discuss the implied meanings that you infer in the second column.

Homework:

• Read
• Complete your classwork in your English Journal. It's not worth getting a zero on.
• I have a number of you that need to make up the first House on Mango Street quiz. You need to do that by Friday, or it'll become a zero.
• I also have a number of you that have not joined Remind.
