[00:00:05]Do you want me to tell you?

[00:00:09]Rhythm.

[00:00:15]We can identify the beat of this poem a little bit later.

[00:00:20]Does anybody remember what is personification?

[00:00:23]What's personification? I don't know you.

[00:00:27]Because the leaves are dancing in the wind.

[00:00:30]Oh, no, no, no, no, no, not that. That was from science.

[00:00:35]But what if something is a non-living thing but you talk about it the same way you talk about a person?

[00:00:49]Um that it's the So, what if I said that What if What did I say yesterday about the tree?

[00:01:00]Um, that video was a tall tree.

[00:01:04]Oh, that one is for our other one. We'll save that one. Save that one in your brain.

[00:01:10]Good job, Vada.

[00:01:12]Does the tree have hands? No.

[00:01:15]But if I said the tree was waving at me, would that make sense to you? Yes.

[00:01:48]Say simile. Simile. Simile. Simile.

[00:01:52]Doesn't that word sound like similar?

[00:01:59]Celery. sounds like simile. So, what was that example that you gave earlier, Pages? It's as tall as a tree. So, that was our example yesterday of our simile.

[00:02:12]Because we used the word as.

[00:02:15]What if you said that's a hyperbole?

[00:02:20]So, taller than So, if I said that she was tall like a tree, that means she's very tall.

[00:02:33]That means she's very tall, yes.

[00:02:35]But, is that also a simile because I used the word like? Yes. Yeah, so you can say as or like to make a simile, okay?

[00:02:45]All right.

[00:02:46]So, now let's move on to our poem.

[00:02:50]We already started reading it. We're going to move on to our seat, and then we're going to use Let's get our crayon box before we go to our seat, cuz we're going to highlight some of these words, our rhyming words first, okay?

[00:03:03]Got it? Yes.
