=== **Technology has been rapidly changing for the past century. It was not too long ago that the internet was invented and now we have touch screens. However, as exciting and forward looking as this is, there are implications to these improvements. For example, the addiction to technology is a frequent problem among teens today. In fact, just today, one of my peers talked about how her boss finally realized that our generation needs technology and therefore allows her employees to use their cell phones. This need for technology to always be at our fingers may ruin the classroom. Students may distract themselves from classwork and jump on their cell phones instead of learning. This may make a teacher's job more difficult because they will have to work harder to engage their students.** ===

I will create fill-in-the-blank notes for students. Give lecture on similes and metaphors. Students will fill in the blanks as lecture is given. I will demonstrate the difference between similes and metaphors. Students will take out a piece of paper, number it one through seven and it will be explained that the characters will talk back and forth and every time the dialogue switches characters the student will change numbers. The characters will say something and the student must identify if the characters are using a simile or metaphor. They will turn in their assessments and I will use these to determine if the students need more time to understand this. This activity will be followed by the students playing a learner participation exercise. The class will be separated into two teams. Using the list of metaphors, the students will play Pictionary and students must guess the correct popular metaphor for points. Students will receive participation points for this.
