Write Idiom!

Idioms are figurative expressions of language that add imagery to our writing. Imagery helps the reader to imagine sights, sounds, smells, tastes and feelings associated with a character's or author's experience.

Read a passage of Alice In Wonderland that you locate on the internet. Identify any idioms that you find (limit yourself to three idioms).

Write a response to one of the following prompts and include popular idioms in your writing.

A day in the woods cutting firewood.
Skiing or riding a board at Apex.
Tobagganing up Carmi.
Preparing diiner for your family / friends.
Playing a competitive sport.
Any idea that you can come up with!

Your writing should be a paragraph that contains an introductory sentence, 3 or four sentences that develop your ideas and a clear conclusion.
