So I was noting that over the past few years, May has not been a month for many posts. This would only be the fourth in the past three years. Searching for a reason, I have decided to cast blame on the insanity conjured by the end of the school year, rush grading for BYU Independent Study, and summer fever. Whatever the cause, though, I decided to post a small diamante that I penned as an example for my students the other day. If you don't know what I diamante is, I posted some instructions (there are two general types: one dealing with description and the other with opposites) back in
March of 2010.
As the former example deals with the opposites, this one is more symmetrical in nature, one that strictly addresses the subject:
bacon
salty, greasy
sizzling, enticing, tempting
infinitely making everything better
satisfying, clogging, guilting
scrumptious, fatty
pleasure
Note: This is a man-made construct. Bacon is not symmetrical as it appears in its natural environment.
