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

For Unto Us a Child is Born (Christmas play for students and adults)
Here is an in-depth, thought-provoking Bible-based fictional dramatization of 7 pages in length (20-30 minutes) to be performed for high school students to elderly parishioners in a Protestant or Catholic school and/or church setting during the Christmas season.

Join us for an interactive reading as Scout Finch and Jem embark on their "longest journey" home from the school pageant.

Have fun assigning roles and watching the students "climb into the skin" of their favorite characters!

Romeo and Juliet Readers Theater Act IV, scene 5
The "modern" English side by side versions of Romeo and Juliet mutilate Shakespeare's poetry, and offer, at best, a boring and sometimes inaccurate translation. The Folger edition, though offering translations of the hardest words, still leaves students frustrated, unable to grasp the meaning even after repeated close readings and do not explain obsolete customs. After all, the pleasure of reading Shakespeare lies not solely in the plot, often well known to the Elizabethan audiences; it is rathe

Absurdist Satire: "Lifeboat" by Monty Python
Satire is edgy and can even push into the outrageous. This skit is edgy but it’s clearly not meant to be taken seriously. The outrageous is balanced by its silly, wacky style. We can learn about absurdity, juxtaposition, irony, characterization, and the British "stiff upper lip" cultural attitude. While satire can be harsh when directed at individuals (usually those in government or in power), satire’s ultimate goal is to use freedom of speech, a constitutional right, to improve society through
