Descriptive writing
descriptive writing , narrative writing, sensory details, graphic organizer, figurative language, simile, metaphor, hyperbole, idiom, alliteration and onomatopoeia
Poerty reading
This short poem describes stopping in the woods on a snowy evening and enjoying the beauty of the snow-covered trees, but realizing that the speaker must continue on to his distant destination. It explores the tension between taking time to appreciate nature's beauty and the obligations that require the speaker to keep traveling. The simple language and imagery create a peaceful yet melancholic tone in observing the winter landscape.
Flashcards
This document provides flashcards for characterisation. The flashcards can be used to help develop an understanding of characters in books, movies, or other stories. They provide a concise way to outline key attributes and traits for various characters.
Hyperbole
Hyperbole is exaggeration used for emphasis, humor, or to make a vivid description. It overstates qualities by magnifying them. Examples from literature demonstrate hyperbole's use to describe people as extremely thin or funny, emotions as unbearable pain or lack of brains, and a town as having no money or time spent there as feeling like weeks in a single day. Hyperbole commonly appears in humorous poetry to make a lighthearted point through exaggerated terms.
Personification
This document defines and provides examples of personification. It begins by explaining that personification is a literary device that gives human qualities like feelings and movements to non-living objects. It then provides two examples of personifying inanimate objects like "humanity" and a "garden". The document contrasts a plain, unpersonified sentence with a more vivid and engaging personified sentence that brings the non-living surroundings to life. It concludes by noting that animated movies with animal characters are good examples of personification.
Metaphors
Metaphors are comparisons between two unlike things that do not use "like" or "as". A metaphor states that one thing is another to help readers imagine something in a new way. Effective metaphors bring writing to life by allowing creative descriptions that make abstract ideas more concrete. Using metaphors shows creativity and intelligence, as great thinkers throughout history have recognized metaphors as a sign of genius. The document provides examples of metaphors and encourages readers to employ metaphors in their own writing to make it more vivid and imaginative.
Idioms
An idiom is an expression, word, or phrase that has a figurative meaning understood by native speakers, different from the literal meaning of its individual elements. Idioms don't mean exactly what the words say but rather have hidden meanings. Examples are provided of common idioms like "hot potato," "penny for your thoughts," and "actions speak louder than words." Idioms should be used properly in context and their fixed grammar and vocabulary maintained to preserve their intended meaning.
Alliteration
Alliteration is defined as the repetition of initial consonant sounds in multiple words. It is commonly used in tongue twisters and makes writing more creative and engaging for readers. Examples of alliteration include company names like Dunkin' Donuts, PayPal, and Coca-Cola which use repeated initial sounds to make the brand names catchy and memorable.
Metaphors
This document discusses metaphors and compares them to similes. While both metaphors and similes compare two unlike things, metaphors state that one thing is the other, using phrases like "her eyes are jewels." The document provides examples of metaphors that allow readers to imagine something in a certain way, like describing a room as a "massive junkyard." Finally, the document explains that metaphors bring writing to life and allow creative ways for readers to picture and imagine things, making metaphors a sign of genius.
Alliteration
This document discusses alliteration, providing examples of words and phrases that use repeating consonant sounds at the beginning, such as "phonic ph" and "sassy celebrities". It explains that alliteration is often used in brand names, children's names, and poems to make them more memorable and appealing. Companies, characters, and poets employ alliteration as a creative technique to stand out through the repetition of initial consonant sounds.
Simile
A simile is a comparison between two unlike things using "like" or "as". To create a simile, choose a noun and think of something different to compare it to using "like" or "as". Examples show Waqar compared bravely to a lion, Ali compared wisely to an owl, and neighbors compared sickly to a dog.
Personifications
This document discusses personification, which is giving human qualities like emotions and speech to objects or animals. It provides examples of personification, such as "the leaves waved in the wind" and "the sun smiled at us". The document explains that writers use personification to make their writing more interesting and vivid. It then shares two examples of poems that utilize personification as a literary device.
Connectors
This document discusses different types of conjunctions - coordinating, subordinating, and correlative. Coordinating conjunctions join words, phrases, and independent clauses, and include FANBOYS conjunctions like "for", "and", "nor", etc. Subordinating conjunctions introduce dependent clauses and include conjunctions like "after", "although", "because", etc. Correlative conjunctions come in pairs like "both/and", "either/or", and are used to join two equivalent parts of a sentence.
Personification figurative language
The document describes various natural phenomena through poetic language. The stars danced playfully as the moon shone overhead. A run down house appeared sad as morning arrived through the meadow. Opportunities were missed as both she and he did not realize what was before them. Bees played with flowers as they buzzed around. The wind howled in protest while snow gently covered the earth. Rising waters swallowed the earth as a river overflowed its banks, and time passed quickly before it was time to depart.
Figurative Language Metaphor
Metaphor is a figure of speech that makes an implied comparison between two unlike things that share some common characteristics. Two examples are provided: John Donne used metaphors in his poem "The Sun Rising" to describe his and his beloved's love being richer than all states and kingdoms. John Keats also used metaphors in his poem "When I Have Fears" to compare writing poetry to reaping and sowing, representing a life unfulfilled creatively.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
