Outside of school, Miss Grammes's favorite way to spend her time is by working out: jogging, biking, aerobics, lifting weights, (you name it, she's there.) Sometimes it is inspirational to read new articles each month about fitness and living healthy. Shape magazine is a great way to survey your own lifestyle to see if you are taking care of your health and body. Maybe after reading the latest on fitness, you'll want to take a break from the computer and head for the gym!! |

This is an awesome web site, especially for those of you that aren't "jiggy" with your literary terms. Onomatopoeia...simile...hyperbole...alliteration... If you come across one of these unfamiliar terms, simply check out this web site, type in the unknown term and "Scout Report Selection" will retrieve not only the definition, but also loads of examples to help you better understand the tool. Try it out!! Score some brownie points with Miss G. by coming to class tomorrow knowing a new literary device. http://www.uky.edu/ArtsSciences/Classics/Harris/rhetform.html |
