Figurative+language

Figurative Language Objective: TSW identify various forms of figurative language in poetry and/or prose. The following forms are fifth grade indicators: simile, metaphor, personification, idiom, hyperbole, alliteration.

After teaching a form of figurative language (or after teaching all of the forms) have students look through poetry anthologies or fictional stories searching for examples. This can be done a couple of ways: 1.) all students can be searching for examples of the same form. 2.) Different forms can be assigned to individual students to find.

Next, have the students make a podcast. In order to do this they will need to create a word document with the form of figurative language as a heading and enough of the verse or prose to read.
