Today's Objective: Students will become familiar with the key terms and techniques dealing with poetry.


Today's SAT Word: Onomatopoeia (n): A word that sounds like what it means (a "sound effect word")

Words like "boom" and "pow" are examples of an onomatopoeia.

We have chosen this song today because it is one of Mr. Meehan's favorites. Today, we are talking all about our own favorite lyrics.


Today's Warm-Up Question:

What are some of your favorite song lyrics of all time?

Make a list of as many of those lyrics as you can think of (but try to keep them clean and classroom appropriate).
