Figurative Language Notes
Metaphor Poem
On Tuesday, students will learn about similes and metaphors. They will be required to write a poem about their favorite activity/hobby that includes metaphors (no similes). They will have time on Tuesday and Wednesday to work on the poem in class, and it will be due at the beginning of class on Thursday.The requirements for the poem are as follows:
-Proper English heading and titled "Metaphor Poem"
-Minimum of 15 lines
-At least 5 metaphors...no similes
-Begin each line with a capital letter
Hyperbole Tall Tale
On Thursday, students learned about hyperbole. They were asked to write a tall tale using hyperbole throughout to describe a time they got in a little trouble at home. If they write it well with hyperbole, then the "small" amount of trouble should be exaggerated to a big story! Students will work on this story in class for a few days.
The requirements are as follows:
-Proper English heading and titled "Hyperbole Tall Tale"
-Minimum of 1.5 pages
-Use hyperbole throughout (and other figurative language if you get a chance).
-Include the following sentence somewhere in your story, "I knew if my parents found out, I would be grounded forever!"
