• Formal language only (no text or abbreviated words please)

• All comments are to be appropriate and contribute to the conversation in a positive manner

Module 2 Learning Goals• The student will adjust reading rate based on purpose, text difficulty, form, and style;• distinguish denotative and connotative meanings of words;• identify advanced word/phrase relationships and their meanings;• write a business letter and/or memo that presents information purposefully and

succinctly to meet the needs of the intended audience following a conventional format (e.g., block, modified block, memo, email);

• use appropriate eye contact, body movements, voice register and oral language choices for audience engagement in formal and informal speaking situations;

• use an engaging introduction and conclusion and the use of figurative language to reinforce the intended message; and

• explain how meaning is enhanced through various features of poetry, including sound (e.g., rhythm, repetition, alliteration, consonance, assonance), structure (e.g., meter, rhyme scheme), and graphic elements (e.g., line length, punctuation, word position);

• analyze, interpret, and evaluate an author's use of descriptive language (e.g., tone, irony, mood, imagery, pun, alliteration, onomatopoeia, allusion), figurative language (e.g., symbolism, metaphor, personification, hyperbole), common idioms, and mythological and literary allusions, and explain how they impact meaning in a variety of texts.

Extended MetaphorMaroon 5 and Gym Class Heroes

My Heart’s a Stereo

Catchy Hook:My heart's a stereoIt beats for you, so listen closeHear my thoughts in every no-o-o-teMake me your radioAnd turn me up when you feel lowThis melody was meant for youJust sing along to my stereo

Verse: If I could only find a note to make you understandI'd sing it softly in your ear and grab you by the handJust keep it stuck inside your head, like your favorite tuneAnd know my heart's a stereo that only plays for you
