I observed a lesson dealing with vocabulary from Krik? Krak! by Edwige Danticat and the following literary devices: antonyms, synonyms, metaphors, and similes.
Accordingly, these are the objectives that I believe go with the lesson:
- Students will differentiate between synonyms, antonyms, similes, and metaphors.
- Students will recall the meaning of the following vocabulary from Krik? Krak! by Edwidge Danticat: ancestors, massacre, revolutionary, undetected.What's that?
What level of Bloom's Taxonomy do these deal with?
Why comprehension, comrade!
I have developed the following 10 minute quiz to access the lesson:
