Shortened Week- MLK

This week, we continued our study of Tuck Everlasting. For most of us, we began looking at the author's use of foreshadowing to provide us with insights into where our story is going and what might happen next. We continued our study of vocabulary words in the context of TE and introduced Metaphors. We will later identify metaphors in Tuck Everlasting, but for this shortened week we talked about what metaphors are, why they are used, and how they are similar and different to similes. I attached a link below to a video we watched that is a fun way of seeing how similes and metaphors and similar, yet different.
