Lesson Plan Supplemental Materials

I created three supplemental materials to support my lesson plan on the use of figurative language. In accordance with Common Core Standards 6th graders should determine figurative and connotative meanings. In addition, students should understand how language impacts meanings and tone of a story. Students will write a original story that includes figurative language.

I created a set of flash cards which defines types figurative language in Quizlet. I will review the terms with the class. Students will have access to the cards to review independently and play a game using these terms.


 
I created a worksheet in Google Drive that contains pictures. The students will write one sentence with a literal description and one sentence using figurative language.

I created this game on Classtools.net. There are 21 examples of figurative language that the students will identify. I can use this game for a class activity. I would put the class into small groups and use the interactive whiteboard. This game will be fun for the students.
