Learning Log 6

The lessons on literacy devices is confusing at first~ All the new words and meanings to memorise~ Feels like we went back to kindergarten and have to learn all the unfamiliar words at one go~ Squeesing all those in our tiny brain! Okay, that's was a bit exaggerated. Also, that's how i understand 'hyperbole'! 'Hyperbole' means exaggeration used to evoked strong feelings or creating a impression which is not meant to be taken literally. Similar isn't it? :)

Through lesson with literacy devices, i have learnt a lot of new and interesting words~ Some were recap for sec 1. Like alliteration, simile, tone, rhyme, rhythm. But I'm more familiar with the word rhythm during band~ *giggles* Some words we learn are really new words, like onomatoepia, complex sentence, simple sentence, kinestethic, gustatory, tactile, symbol and so on, there's just too much! :)

One literacy devices that is most memorable to me is oxymoron!
Oxymoron is a single image or idea made up of contradictory. Examples of oxymoron is sweet sorrow, only choice, student teacher, pretty ugly. Words of opposite definition could come together and make up a word which actually make sense! Amazing! It is also often used by we are unaware of it~ It's very cool! :)

Overall, i enjoyed the lessons on literacy devices as it widens our knowledge and will really help us in our literature exams if we memoriesd them at our fingertips! That's all to what i want to say! Bye! :)
