Name______Date______DUE by 1/19/16 to Miss Gensel
Your mission is to find examples of personification, which is when a writer gives an object the qualities of a person. Many can be found in your every day school materials. Search your Anthology book, Word Explorer, Practice Book, and any other school resources. You could also look in your library books. You must document the exact example and where it was found, including page #.
Good Luck! I know you will do well J . Be specific!
