Lockdown learning 6 September: language techniques & podcast celebrations
Some awesome interviewing last week - ka mau te wehi!
Today we are going to expand our language techniques kete. We will gain confidence with using a range of techniques, including:
- rhetorical question
- similes, metaphor, personification
- hyperbole
- alliteration
- onomatopeia
- assonance
- rhyme
- rhythm
- anecdote
- antonym
- jargon
- imperative
If you didn't finish your podcast last week, we can troubleshoot that and you can work on it this week.
I will also set some reading comprehension work focused on language techniques for you to do during this week. Hopefully I will see you in class very soon!
