Bell Ringer, Tuesday, March 24
Find the figurative language in the following paragraph and list them below:
The teacher vs student basketball game was like an all out civil war. It was clear that the
students were far more prepared because, most of the teachers were wheezing like dying cars.
One of the students was a bolt of lightning as he ran past Mr. Jones to make a three-point shot.
It didn't take long for Mr. Jones and the rest of the teachers to realize they just could not keep
up. Even the ball was exhausted from being run up and down the court. As the clock ticked
down, the student spectators screamed so loud that the earth quaked. This was a game
they would always remember.
