This is Your Brain on Figurative Language: Brain-Science of Metaphors & Similes
Do you know what a simile is? A metaphor? If you do, you can probably give me a hand with these definitions:• A simile is a comparison that uses “like” or “as.”• A metaphor is a comparison that does NOT use “like” or “as.” Now that we’re all on the same page, I have to offer a confession: I taught figurative language using these two definitions for a huge chunk of my teaching career. I never realized I was stuck in a rut. These textbook explanations blocked me from seeing that symbolic language

Ant Chant for insect unit
This is a short army type chant. It can be used to help kids remember important facts about ants. Very cute for a short little production for a talent show or awards assembly. It was written with The Ants Go Marching tune in mind, but is to be done as a cool chant. I have done this with 1st-3rd grade. We always march out to the baby version of the song and then put on sunglasses for the actual performance. The kids love it!
