Determine or clarify the meaning of unknown and multiple-meaning words or phrases based on grade 8 reading and content, choosing flexibly from a range of strategies.
Compare and contrast a written story, drama, or poem to its audio, filmed, staged, or multimedia version, analyzing the effects of techniques unique to each medium (e.g., lighting, sound, color, or camera focus and angles in a film).
A very useful resource which provides a particular focus on similes in Duffy's poem. Attractive powerpoint and clear instructions with encouragement to analyze, using the analytical sentence formula.
