Rationale In addition to focusing on the six comprehension strategies, the students are briefly introduced to figurative language using texts that utilize one type of figurative language at a time. Thus the students master an authors use of figurative language in isolation; that is, students are able to identify that a simile is being used to compare two things, but not how it is used to give the reader a better description of what is being compared such as a character description, a characters feelings, or detail to describe the setting.

After I have said all this. I read in the newspaper that your community is mystified by the outcry from all over the country about what you have done.
