Honestly, I'm not sure how to "remix" these terms since we didn't discuss this assignment in class due to the speeches, but I'm just going to remix them my own way.
Here are the definitions for the first 5 terms:
circumlocution: the use of many words to say something that could be said more clearly and directly by using fewer words.
classicism: the ideas and styles that are common in the literature, art, etc.
cliche: a trite phrase or expression.
climax: the most exciting and important part of a story, play, etc.
colloquialism: a word or phrase that is used mostly in informal speech.
My remix is to figure out which term goes with each example.
1. The grass isn't always greener on the other side.
2. What's up?
3. Greek and Roman literature.
4. Big fight scene in the last Harry Potter movie.
5. The water looked as if it were made of glass as the sun shined down upon it.
The definitions above are extremely helpful and clear. Now, I would recommend trying it without using the definitions. It's more of challenge, but it helps with memorizing and understanding each of the terms.
Answer Key:
1. cliche.
2. colloquialism.
3. classicism.
4. climax.
5. circumlocution.
