Brainstorm!O Can you name some forms of
creative expression?O Now, how are these creative
expressions like an action or emotion?
O For instance, how is a fashion show similar to the emotion of greed? How is it similar to the celebratory action of doing a cartwheel?

about yourself?

Oxy… what?O Oxymoron: is a figure of speech that
combines contradictory terms. O A term that consists of two words that are in
conflict in some way.O Examples: artificial grass, bitter sweet, clear
as mud, jumbo shrimp, firm pillow, fried ice cream….
O Can you think of one with our list of actions/emotions?
O Post a short free verse poem using your oxymoron to my twitter page!

Oxymoron AnalogyO Take the oxymoron you created and
apply it to something else.O For example, jumbo shrimp could be
applied to a jet airplane. “The jet airplane was enormous compared to a one-propeller plane, but it is tiny compared to today’s models.”
O Can you think of an object you can apply your oxymoron to?

manuscript that uses the oxymoron analogy you created.
