  1. I've looked in my notes and on blackboard and still don't understand "Dialect." Can you please try to help me understand it?

    1. Keely, do you remember that clip that we watched in class where they were asking what words people used for different things - soda/coke/pop, etc? Dialect is when people use terms or language that is specific to their area, but it's not a COMPLETELY different language. It's kinda like how people from the South tend to say things like, "y'all," while people from the Northeast tend to say things like "you guys." Does that make sense?

    1. Kind of. It's hard to show that one, because it's purely the pronunciation of the word, but I'll let it slide for the purpose of this assessment.

    1. Yep, it does! As long as you're using it to describe a verb, adjective, or adverb!

  8. My assement is on how to make pancakes. If I say: If you turn over the pancake while it not done cooking it will be a pile of mush. Is that a metaphor? Maddie 3/4

    1. Nope, because the pancake will literally be a pile of mush. In order for it to be a metaphor, it can't be literally true.
