3. INSTRUCTIONS
• 1. Rodman Philbrick, the author of Freak the Mighty,
uses a lot of imagery to explain conflict in the novel.
Individually, use Snapchat to visually represent at
least 1 example of conflict and/or imagery in the
novel so far. You must choose a quote from the
novel for each example that you represent. Be
creative with your captions and with Snapchat’s
editing tools!
4. REMEMBER…
• Imagery is imaginative language that helps the
reader visualize more realistically what the
author is writing about.
5. REMEMBER…
• Conflict is a struggle between opposed forces.
In fiction, this struggle is usually between two
characters, between a character and society,
between a character and nature or a
character’s internal conflict.
6. INSTRUCTIONS
• 2. Write a reflection about your snap OR
provide a voice-recording explaining your
snap on an IPad. Make sure to explain for
each snap:
7. MAKE SURE TO EXPLAIN:
• What example you are representing (what quote did you
use to guide you?).
• Who participated in your snap (Who acted in your snap,
what props did you use?)
• Why your snap/quote is an example of imagery or
conflict (What does it make you imagine? What type of
conflict is it?)
• How you went about representing this example of
imagery or conflict (How did you use Snapchat’s tools?)
8. IMAGERY EXAMPLE
“Freak is whistling and the
cop car spotlight comes
beaming around the pond
until it settles on us. I’m
blinking because the light is
so bright, and Freak is
making a fuss and waving
his arms and we hear the
metal megaphone sound of
a cop voice ordering us not
to move” (Philbrick 39)
9. REFLECTION
• I, Ms. Contreras participated in this snap.
• My snap/quote is an example of imagery because it
makes the reader imagine what Freak and Max are
experiencing. I imagined what the cop would look like
ordering them not to move through a metal megaphone.
• I went about representing this example of imagery by
using a filter on Snapchat that made me look like a cop
and then drawing a megaphone. I also added the caption
“DON’T MOVE” because that is what Freak and Max hear.
