Snapshots of Emotions and Similes
 

 

 

Read the Book My Many Colored Days.

Choose one or more of the following Bloom activities to complete in a journal or on memos or freewrite on the palm pilot.

Analyze:
• Compare “bright days” and how you feel with “gray days” and your feelings. How are they alike and how are they different.
• Survey a group of friends on their colored days.
• How does the author’s writing style in the book change? Discuss the importance of the change.

Synthesize:
• Click on Writer's Fix link at bottom.
• Follow the directions under: Writer & Student Writer Instructions
• In a journal or on memos or freewrite on the palm pilot jot down your three similes and then add strong detailed verbs, adjectives, or more nouns to your basic similes to make them more detailed.

Evaluation:
• Decide which colored day in the book you might change. Explain how you would change it and why.
• From your viewpoint which colored day is most like a colored day you might have. Why?
• Rate the colored days in the book. Use a scale of 1-10. 1=worst, 10=best

Your Turn: Using the design mode on Sketchy on the Palm Pilot, create a five page storyboard, My Many Colored Days—title page, choose one color for the next 3 pages and use circles, squares for the design, last page will be a mixed-up colored day. For those without palms, design on computer in PowerPoint.
