Quiz Friday!!!

Identify the figurative language in the following 6 examples (These will also be on Friday's Quiz):

The little dog laughed                          
To see such sport,                                       
And the dish ran away with the spoon.

The heat ripped breath from her luminous lungs.


When the team on the set with the guns gone clap,  
Gettin’ down on everything, hmmm, cut the check.

"Ah, William, we're weary of weather,"        
 said the sunflowers, shining with dew.

The child of mine was lying on her side.

See we been doing this since you was in a wet diaper
Confusing as a Rubik’s Cube is to be deciphered
Intuitive just like Confucious in your next life or
A new addition of a ludricriuosly vexed sniper


Late Assignments:

Classroom lectures are often presented on EdPuzzle. Late EdPuzzle assignments can be made up during the Extra Help /  Assignment Makeup sessions in room 231 from 2:36-2:49 on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. If you cannot attend one of the makeup sessions, see Mr. Flamm for a Missing EdPuzzle Assignment Form​, or download and print your own form, HERE. Fill out this form and return it to Mr. Flamm for evaluation.

You may also easily complete the Podcast Questions of the Week during the above times. Homework is worth 10% of your final grade, so if you do not do any homework, it is equivalent to dropping your final grade down by one entire letter grade (10% deduction).

Assignments are due at 11:59 pm on due date. Unexcused lateness of assignments will be penalized at 10 percent per day late (for example, an assignment that is two days late will have a maximum grade of 80, or B-). After 9 days the assignment is worth zero points. Learners are welcome to submit assignments more than 9 days late as Merit Assignments, but not for class credit.
