Dear Class,
Remember all of the wonderful things you are supposed to bring to our last class of the year:
1) your essay (with checklist and KWO attached)
2) your FIX-IT
3) your vocabulary words
4) your completed vocabulary test (if you took yours home last week)
5) your portfolio (I will check it in class and then send it home with you so that you may work on the finishing touches for a January submission date)
6) your resume (front page of your portfolio)
Your homework is to write a one-paragraph analogy essay. This essay must contain
• ALL dress-ups
• Openers (1) and (2)
• a (6)vss
• a (met)metaphor
• a (sim)simile
• T/ C = Topic and Clincher must be tied together in one of the ways discussed in the last 4 classes.
Vocabulary, used properly, is worth extra credit (limit 20 extra points)
ESSAY ASSIGNMENT DETAILS:
Your goal is to find a creative way to show how a seemingly dissimilar pair share common ground.
You may write about how they
~~> relate to each other
or
~~> are strongly connected in some way
or
~~> have some important elements in common
or
~~> are actually similar
Be creative, factual, whimsical or logical . . . . but your essay must be believable.
Please choose one of the following pairs:
• Computer / Cup of Water
• Map / Playing Cards
• Lightning / Leaf
• Evergreen Tree / Thor
• Ark / Mary
• Music / Math
• Elevator / Public Speaking
• Mark Twain / Helen Keller
Examples (as requested):
My knee is giving me problems - it may hurt but it is not literally giving you problems (see the cartoon to the left)
Rollercoaster of emotions - A rollercoaster of emotions doesn't exist anywhere, so when people are on a rollercoaster of emotions, they are simply experiencing lots of ups and downs.
Feel blue - No one actually ever feels like the color blue, although many people say they are "feeling blue" to mean they are feeling sad.

Her heart was broken and she cried a river.
She cut him down with her words.
He bombed the test.
It's raining cats and dogs.
SIMILE:
cute as a kitten
busy as a bee
run like the wind
happy as a clam
bald as a cue ball
"He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly!"
The beard of his chin was as white as the snow.
FIX IT - Week 13
He seemed to her as the marble statue in her little garden and she wished that he might live. Presently they came in site of land, near the coast stood a well-built convent.
She swam with the prince to the beach which was covered with fine white sand and their she lay him in the warm vital sunshine, taking care to rise his head higher than his body.
When bells pealed in the large, white building several young girls came into the garden, and the little mermaid swam out further from the shore, and hid herself among 2 high rocks covering herself with sea foam so that her face might not be scene.
Timidly, a young girl approached the spot where the prince laid and then she fetched others to help, and when the prince came to life again he smiled upon those which stood confounded around him
