We opened up our unit on figurative language this week. I generally introduced the concepts of alliteration, hyperboles, similes, metaphors, idioms and onomatopoeia and personification. If you need a refresher, you may be interested in watching this video:

Each day we will learn about each type of figure of speech in more detail, and I will be giving the students opportunities to find examples in books and write their own creative ones. This week we had time to work on similes and metaphors. We will continue with the others next week.
