Allusions

Feliz Lunes, Octavos!  If you completed the Green task on Friday (and actually got it done), follow the directions below for your class work today.  Happy learning :)

1) Watch the Flocabulary video about figurative language here.  Pay special attention to the definition and examples of allusions.

2) Read the definition and examples of allusions below the Flocabulary video on the same webpage.

3) Explain what at least 6 of the allusion examples on the website mean.  You may need to use Google to learn about some of the references.  Email me your answers or turn them in on paper.

4) Write your own allusion to explain a concept related to the Great Depression.  For example, People who lost their jobs during the Great Depression were like Orpheus, destined to wait hopelessly for their return.  Email me or turn in your allusion on paper.
