Writing - Q1 Week 7 Day 3
Today, we tried another strategy to develop the narratives: "hyperbolizing". (I'm not sure it is really a word, except we added hyperbole to the essays so it seems like it can become a verb...)
Hyperbole is exaggeration used to effect. We read an excerpt from The Encyclopedia of Me ("Karma") and talked about how it exaggerated the pimple for effect. When we discussed that, students realized that the excerpt wasn't really about a pimple, but more about friendship. Read it and see if you can notice that. (Discuss with Ms. Faircloth during Homeroom if you don't)
Then students wrote a portion of their narrative with hyperbolic effect.
We shared with Writing Partners.
