First period finished up the mini-unit on sound devices and moved on to figurative language:
- simile,
- metaphor, and
- personification.
We began by looking at one poem (“Concrete Mixers”) in pairs for examples of all three forms of figurative language.

We’ll be having a quiz tomorrow on the vocabulary terms in “Concrete Mixers”.
Second period worked on Homeric similes before starting with the second part of the Odyssey. Students discussed examples from the text; afterward, students worked in pairs to create their own examples.
