The Stories Julian Tells

This week, the students read another tale from the book The Stories Julian Tells. We analyzed more figurative language such as imagery and personification. We discussed how imagery is a vivid description that uses the five senses to create a picture (image!) in our minds or the reader's mind. We discussed how personification is a description that gives a non-human thing human (person!) characteristics. For example, "The seeds were dreaming."

Some books for exploring imagery include: Snowflake Bentley, There is a Flower at the Tip of My Nose Smelling Me, and Where the Wild Things Are. 
Some books for exploring personification include: Dirty Laundry Pile, Open Wide: Tooth School Inside, Sweet Tooth,and When I Was Built.
