metaphor does not _______________________. A personification _____________________.

Figurative Language

Agenda: 2/28/13

• DOL Warmup

• Levels of Questioning

Reminders




*AoW #20

*Reading Circles






Asking Questions

• On a piece of binder paper, write down1. A question that can be answered by looking at

someone/thing in the room

2. A question that is about someone/thing in the room but requires some thought

3. A question that is about nothing in the room but relates to English and requires thought

Asking Questions

• Questions can be “skinny” or “fat”

• Skinny questions are factual questions What color shirt is Joey wearing?

• Blue: that is a fact.• It does not make you think further

• Fat questions are ones where there can be many different answers Why is Joey wearing the blue shirt?

• There could be many different answers to that question.

Asking Questions

• The key to fat questions is that they do not have correct answers. The job of a fat question is to generate discussion by stimulating a variety of opinions. You will know your question is skinny if It can be answered with a yes or a no. There is a sentence, paragraph, or even a page

in the book where the answer can be found. The group members all agree on the answer.

One-Two-Three Story Intellect PoemThere are one-story

intellects,

two-story intellects,

and three-story intellects with skylights.

All fact collectors who have

no aim beyond their facts

are one-story people.

Two-story people compare, reason,

generalize, using the labor of

fact collectors as their own.

Three-story people idealize,

imagine, predict—their best illumination

comes through the skylight.

Adapted from a quotation by Oliver Wendell Holmes

Levels of Questioning

• Level 1: There is one correct answer What are the 5 layers of the earth's atmosphere? About when did the Cretaceous period end? What is the graph that satisfies the equation y =

2/(3+7ex) How many plays were written by William

Shakespeare? Which character is also known by some as

“Mithrandir”? List 50 prepositions in alphabetical order. Who signed the Declaration of Independence? (name

at least 10 of the signers) What date was the Iraq War launched by the United

States government?


• Level 2: There is a set of correct answers (your answer may depend on how you interpret the question) What are some unique features of the upper atmosphere? What did the Cretaceous and Jurassic periods have in

common? How does the graph change as you alter each of the

constants? Which of Shakespeare's plays have been most influential? How is Gandalf’s race (Astari) like and unlike the race of

Men? How can you tell a prepositional phrase from a participial

phrase? What did the signers of the Declaration of Independence

have in common? What according to President George. W. Bush are the

reasons for the Iraq War?


• Level 3: No correct answers, but some might be better than others. How much easier would it be to launch a rocket from the

upper atmosphere? Why did the dinosaurs die? How is the S-Shaped Growth curve used in the physical and

social sciences? What might the eternal popularity of Shakespeare say about

people in general? How might Gandalf’s imperfections be important to the

telling of the story? How might participial phrases be used to make your writing

more colorful and active? Is the Declaration of Independence fully living up to its

original vision? How different could the last few years have been had the

U.S. not invaded Iraq?
