Description
Are you searching for a step-by-step PowerPoint that can be used to introduce your figurative language unit to your students in a way that will grab their attention? You've come to the right place! This 42-slide PowerPoint features 7 literary devices: similes, metaphors, alliteration, onomatopoeia, personification, hyperboles, and idioms. The first 14 slides serve as an introduction to each literary device. These slides contain a definition and examples of each literary device. The final 25 slides contain multiple-choice questions.
PowerPoints filled with visuals are ideal for teaching new content to students because PowerPoints tend to be highly engaging and concepts can be easily broken down into understandable chunks of information. But let's face it... they are so time-consuming to create! Fortunately, now you have an option of using one that is already complete, kid-tested, and ready to go for you!
HERE'S THE SEQUENCE OF TOPICS COVERED IN THIS POWERPOINT:
Slides 1-3: Introduction and Similes
Slides 4-5: Metaphors
Slides 6-7: Onomatopoeia
Slides 8-9: Alliteration
Slides 10-11: Personification
Slides 12-13: Hyperboles
Slides 14-15: Idioms
Slides 16-41: Multiple-Choice Practice- On most of the slides, students are presented with a sentence, and students are asked to identify the type of figurative language present in the sentence.
***A PowerPoint companion handout is also included in this file. As you advance through the PowerPoint, students can record their answers on the handout. The companion handout is available in both printable format or digital format.**
