Ode to My Students aka Sonnet ExampleMs. Popp

I’ve traveled the world, but now mine’s quite small

And revolves solely around teenagersThough sometimes I think they’ll be my downfall

I have not yet had need for a Taser

Teenage drama brings much needed humorBut sometimes leads to imprudent choices

Some need a wake up call, like a roosterAnd can’t hear it over all the voices

Talking in class and not about schoolworkFor you, I have some serious questions:Do you see the benefits of hard work?

Have you learned the importance of passion?

At end of the day though, this I believeI love all my kids, and know they’ll succeed.

Oxymorons

An oxymoron describes when two juxtaposed (next to each other) words have opposing or divergent meanings.

Examples: Jumbo Shrimp, Alone Together, Pretty Ugly, Small Crowd, Least Favorite

Oxymorons

Your Turn: Create oxymorons using the words in the speech bubble.

Paradox

A paradox is a statement or situation with seemingly contradictory or incompatible components.

Examples: I must be cruel to be kind; What a pity youth must be wasted on the young

Oxymoron vs. Paradox

***** AN OXYMORON CAN ONLY BE TWO WORDS,

WHILE A PARADOX CAN BE A SENTENCE OR MORE.

AN OXYMORON HAS NO EXPLANATION , WHILE A

PARADOX SOMETIMES EXPLAINS ITSELF.
