Sandra Cisneros & Figurative Language

Today we are going to look at some work by an amazing author, Sandra Cisneros.  We will be reading two short stories: Salvador Late or Early and Eleven.

After reading and discussing the stories we will talk about the use of figurative language.  We will learn about what figurative language is, and the types of figurative language.  You can look at presentation here.  Please follow along and write in your own definitions and examples on the figurative language handout.  Handout is due Friday (9/25) along with your copy of Eleven marked where you find figurative language.
