Simile and Metaphor Worksheet Practice
This worksheet provides 10 metaphors/similes that allow students to practice their learning. Pictures of example next to each. They must identify if the sentence uses a simile or metaphor and then explain what that use of figurative language is trying to communicate. There are also 4 "Write Your Own" prompts at the end of the worksheet. This has always been a big hit with my students and can work for grades 4-8.

Spanish Reader's Theater--La Gallinita Roja (The Little Red Hen)
Reader's Theater is a great tool for building fluency in reading. As a bilingual educator I have found that Spanish reader's theater is a valuable tool to get Spanish language learners to practice their oral development. Although I have used these scripts in my First grade classroom, they would also work well for secondary Spanish classes.
The Little Red Hen is easy to follow with its repetitive phrases and familiar storyline. This reader's theater is an excellent way for students who are lear

We inherently form judgements about characters as we engage with a text.T
