Homework from my graduate students

每年秋季学期有一门研究生的网课，其中的一个作业是让学生选自己喜欢的题目用Prezi做一个小Presentation. 大部分的学生是在职中小学老师。所以他们的作业题目和自己任教的课程有关。我边看作业，边学习。下面是一位老师给五年级学生推荐的Read aloud的书：

A long walk to water. Read aloud. 

Tuck everlastin

Out of my mind

Make you feel a wide range of emotions. 

The tale of desperoux 

下面是另外一位老师讲 What is a rhyming words?

Rhyming words are two or more words that have the same ending sounds. 

mouse/house

goat/boat

jar/car

Can words that are spelled different at the end still rhyme? Yes. 

Do all the words spell the same at the end rhyme? No. 

Not all words that end with the same spelling sound the same. 

Barn/warn

Put/But

A good way to get familiar with rhyming words is by listening to nursery rhymes. Nursery hymes are fun stories that have rhyming words at the ends. 

第三位老师讲 Verbal irony/Sarcasm? 

When a speaker says the opposite of what he means, it is verbal irony. When he took a further step to make it funny, that is sarcasm. 

Verbal Irony: 反讽

a writer, speaker, or character says soemthing that deliberately contradicts what that person actually means. 

Verbal irony would be used to joke around with a friend. 

Pokes fun but isn't suppossed to be mean or hurtful. 

Sarcasm 讽刺: The use of irony to mock or show contemptl for soemone or something. 

第四位老师以Figurative Language Tree 做为主题讲各类比喻语言也可以翻译成象征语言包括六种类型

Simile 类比 

Metaphor 比喻

Alliteration 头韵 Google 翻译

Hyperbole 夸张

Onomatopoeia 拟声

Personification 拟人 

上下两个视频都是老师选择的。上面是介绍各种比喻形式。下面的视频用迪士尼的电影介绍各种比喻的方法在电影台词里面的运用。
