NEW VOCAB - WRITE THESE DOWN!

Euphemism - A polite or mild way of saying something that might be too harsh or blunt. For example, saying "passed away" instead of "died."

Contradict - To say or show that something is wrong or the opposite of what someone else said. For example, if someone says, "It's sunny," and you say, "No, it's raining," you are contradicting them.


Alliteration - The repetition of the same sound at the beginning of words that are close together. For example, "Sally sells seashells by the seashore."


Allusion - A reference to something well-known, like a famous person, place, event, or piece of literature, without directly mentioning it. For example, saying "He’s a real Einstein" is an allusion to the famous scientist, meaning the person is very smart.


Hyperbole - An exaggerated statement not meant to be taken literally. For example, "I've told you a million times!"


Juxtaposition - Placing two things next to each other to highlight their differences. For example, putting a tiny house next to a skyscraper shows how different their sizes are.

NEW VOCAB - WRITE THESE DOWN!

Personification - Giving human traits to non-human things. For example, "The flowers danced in the breeze."


Analogy - A comparison between two things to explain something or make it clearer by showing how they are similar. For example, "Life is like a race; you have to keep running to reach the finish line."


Onomatopoeia - A word that sounds like the thing it describes. For example, "buzz," "bang," or "crash."

Idiom - A phrase that doesn’t mean exactly what the words say. For example, "Break a leg" means good luck, not actually breaking a leg.


Understatement - Making something seem less important or serious than it really is. For example, saying "It's just a scratch" when there's actually a large cut.


Oxymoron - A figure of speech that combines two words that seem to be opposites. For example, "jumbo shrimp" or "bittersweet."


Literal meaning - The exact, real meaning of words, without exaggeration or metaphor. For example, "The sky is blue" means that the sky is actually blue.
