Personification

Good Morning Boys & Girls,

This morning we will meet a Kookaburra, which is a bird native to Australia. This bird is known for its song which resembles that of a laugh! I think you will find this bird lives a very "playful" lifestyle! In our practice of alliteration, we will gather words that begin with the "k" sound to write silly sentences for our Handwriting Alliteration ABC books!

We will continue our author studies of E.B. White and Beverly Clearly. We have been discussing the author's style of using personification. Personification is giving human traits (qualities, feelings, action, or characteristics) to non-living objects (things, colors, qualities, or ideas).

For example: The window winked at me. The verb, wink, is a human action. A window is a non-living object. Let's explore some activities that will further our investigation of personification. I challenge you to speak or write a few personification statements. Will the learning train whistle blow for you?
