Decorations

So far, we’ve learned about once kind of decoration – alliteration. Can anyone give me an example of alliteration?

This week, we will be adding three more decorations – 3sss, similes, and metaphors.

The 3sss

3sss stands for three short staccato sentences. (You could also call this a 3 VSS.) Each of these three short sentences will not have more than five words. They will also be right next to each other.

Turn to page 43 in your SRN. Let’s read over the section about 3sss together. Give Caesar example.

I would like to hear an idea of a place that we could add a 3sss in our Boston story.

Similes and Metaphors

OK, now turn to page 44 and 45 in your SRN. We will look at similes and metaphors.

Who can give me an example of a simile and a metaphor in our Boston Tea Party story?

Assignment

Younger students, you will be adding two decorations to your entire paper. You don’t want to over-use decorations. You’ll be writing paragraph two of the Boston Tea party. Don’t forget, you also only have to use each element of style once in your entire paper. And don’t forget to include words that appeal to the senses.

Older students, you will be adding three decorations to your paper this week. You will also be writing your final draft of this paper and handing it in on Monday. Don’t forget to mark your elements of style and to include a final checklist.
