WHY THIS LESSON?
Effective writing is the combination of multiple skills. Using figurative language is an important strategy and quality that middle school students need to understand and master before high school. This basic lesson starts that process.
This is a basic lesson for students who are still puzzled about what “figurative language” actually means. It explains how figurative language describes something NOT in a literal way, but as an image instead.
It gives several easy examples with complete explanations. It also explains the difference between simile, metaphor, hyperbole, personification, and idiom, with examples for each.
