There was so much to do if she wanted to run for class president. She had to paint a banner to hang up in the classroom. She needed to print up flyers to hand out at lunchtime. Mrs. Reynolds said everyone running had to give a speech in front of the class, so Daisy had to write that, too.      Daisy dragged a huge roll of art paper from the garage and stretched it across the lawn. Then she ran back to the garage and lugged four paint cans over to the paper. After that, she painted the entire banner bright green. While it dried, Daisy ran upstairs and printed her flyers. She wrote part of her speech as the flyers poured out of the printer. Then she ran to the backyard again to paint “Daisy for President” across the banner.      As she was painting, her mom came outside with a glass of lemonade. “You are as busy as a bee,” she told her daughter. <o:p></o:p> 1.

Brown<o:p></o:p>      Paul Bunyan was a strong giant. He stood 7 feet tall, his steps were 7 feet long. People who worked for lumber companies knew him well because of his strength. When he would speak, tree limbs would sometimes fall. Nothing was too hard for Paul Bunyan. People say he dug out the hole for Lake Superior with his hand in one try.      Paul Bunyan had the help of a huge blue ox named Babe. Paul Bunyan's ox was as strong as nine horses and weighed 10,000 pounds. Men would tie a line to each of Babe's two horns and hang their wet clothes on the line to dry. Paul Bunyan once had Babe drag a whole house up a hill.      Babe would sometimes get himself into trouble. He got loose one night and ate 200 feet of rope. Another time, Babe drank water in the river and left it dry. As a result, the lumberjacks did not have any water. Some of the lakes in Wisconsin and Minnesota were made from steps Babe made across these great states. <o:p></o:p> 2. Read this sentence from the story.

It wasn't very long, Until she heard a peep. Lisa slept like a log most nights. Now she woke up every time, The big old house began to speak. Then the clock began to chime. Lisa opened her eyes, She looked around. To her surprise, There were no sounds. The talking house was all a dream. Thank goodness for her, Things were not as they seemed.

Brown<o:p></o:p>      Paul Bunyan was a strong giant. He stood 7 feet tall, his steps were 7 feet long. People who worked for lumber companies knew him well because of his strength. When he would speak, tree limbs would sometimes fall. Nothing was too hard for Paul Bunyan. People say he dug out the hole for Lake Superior with his hand in one try.      Paul Bunyan had the help of a huge blue ox named Babe. Paul Bunyan's ox was as strong as nine horses and weighed 10,000 pounds. Men would tie a line to each of Babe's two horns and hang their wet clothes on the line to dry. Paul Bunyan once had Babe drag a whole house up a hill.      Babe would sometimes get himself into trouble. He got loose one night and ate 200 feet of rope. Another time, Babe drank water in the river and left it dry. As a result, the lumberjacks did not have any water. Some of the lakes in Wisconsin and Minnesota were made from steps Babe made across these great states. <o:p></o:p> 8.

Akito was so excited. He knew it was going to be an interesting summer. He could feel it.      When Akito got home, he noticed that the living room was different. The pictures were hung upside down. The couch had orange stripes instead of pink flowers. The books on the shelves seemed to be written in some alien language!      Akito ran into the kitchen. Dad was stirring a pot on the stove. “Dad, what is going on around here?”      “What do you mean?” Dad asked.      “The living room looks all crazy.”      “Everything is fine, Akito.

The author of the story gives you many context clues to figure out what this phrase means. Daisy is painting a banner, printing up flyers, and writing a speech. She is also carrying paint cans and dragging a huge roll of art paper. All of these clues tell you that Daisy is working hard and trying to get a lot of things done. 2. An exaggeration states that something is better, worse, larger, more common, or more important than is actually true. The purpose of the exaggeration "When he would speak, tree limbs would sometimes fall" is to show that Paul Bunyan has a loud voice. In fact, his voice is so loud and thunderous that it can shake the limbs off of trees. 3. The phrase on top of the world is an example of an idiom. An idiom is a phrase that does not always make sense by itself. The best way to find out what an idiom means is to use context clues. This story says that Blaire was proud of her clothes and thought she would be the best-dressed girl in school. You can guess that she was on top of the world because she felt good about herself. 4. The phrase a piece of cake is often used as an idiom. An idiom is a phrase that does not always mean exactly what it says. The phrase a piece of cake is often used to call something easy. In this sentence, the speaker is calling the test easy because he or she has studied hard all week. <img width=214 height=188 id="_x0000_i1104" src="https://app197.studyisland.com/pics/testpieceofcakepic.jpg" alt="https://app197.studyisland.com/pics/testpieceofcakepic.jpg"><o:p></o:p> 5. Personification is when a writer makes a thing, idea, or an animal do something only humans can do. Dancing is something people do. A name cannot dance because it is not human. Sometimes, objects can act like humans in stories. We can imagine the name would dance when people said it because Cherry wants a pretty new name. 6. A simile compares two things using the words "like" or "as." In this line, the author compares Lisa's sleeping to a log. 7. What the author says immediately after the phrase tells the reader what the phrase means. The author says, "He had taken out the garbage every night. He had done the dishes. He had helped give Growler, their poodle, a bath. He helped Mom bake six dozen oatmeal cookies for the bake sale even though he hated oatmeal." The reader can tell by these details that Jamie worked really hard. 8. An exaggeration states that something is better, worse, larger, more common, or more important than is actually true. The sentence "Paul Bunyan once had Babe drag a whole house up a hill" shows that Babe is very powerful. Dragging a house across a flat surface is difficult, so dragging one up a hill would be much harder. 9. A hyperbole is an exaggeration so great that it cannot be true. To exaggerate means to make something bigger, smaller, longer, shorter, better, or worse than it really is. It is not possible for someone's voice to be heard across countries. The writer just uses the hyperbole to show that the person screamed very loudly. 10. Personification is when a writer makes a thing, idea, or an animal do something only humans can do. A cat's eyes cannot beg for something. Begging is something people can do. Sometimes, objects can act like humans in stories. We can imagine a cat's eyes begging for a new home because the cat does not have a home. 11. Personification is when a writer makes a thing, idea, or an animal do something only humans can do. Pushing is something humans do. A tooth cannot push other teeth. Sometimes, objects can act like humans in stories. We can imagine a tooth pushes other teeth before it is loose enough to come out. 12. What the author tells us after this is key to what the phrase means. We learn that Morgan "shouted from behind Jeremy" as Jeremy ran down the hall. This is a clue that right on his heels means that Morgan was directly behind him. 13. Based on the story, everything in Akito's life is strange and mixed up from how he remembers it. For example, his dad is cooking gobbledygook and he suddenly has a brother. These clues help you to figure out that topsy-turvy means strange and mixed up. 14. The context clues in the passage can help you figure out what this phrase means. Jen's grandma talks about "the old days" and "what things were like a long time ago." You can guess from these context clues that take a trip down memory lane means to talk about the past. 15. The phrase a frog in her throat is an example of an idiom. An idiom is a phrase that does not always make sense by itself. The best way to find out what an idiom means is to use context clues. In the passage, Olivia's voice sounds funny because she has "a frog in her throat." You can guess that to have a frog in her throat means to have "a hoarse or croaky voice." </div> </div> </body> </html>
