Vocabulary and Similes

Today, I had fun with vocabulary! To be honest, I have always had an affinity for vocabulary, I do not know why. Maybe because I just like to learn new words and utilize them? Who knows. Anywho, the class was assigned a little quiz that required me to pick four vocabulary words and familiarize myself enough with them to define them. Posters were harmed in the making of the assignment. After putting the pictures on the poster, I had to give an oral definition of each word and explain how the pictures correlated with my words. It was truly fun watching everyone's presentation, especially one student named Jada. Afterwards, it was time for more rhetoric (hooray) and we delved into simile. Like hyperbole, I was not too excited because simile is the John or Bob of rhetoric, but I learned something new about that as well! I never knew the word "so" could be used correctly for simile, "like" or "as" has been ingrained in my head enough. Hopefully I get to learn more devices, I enjoy them!
