Description
Engage students in learning all about figurative language techniques with this PRINTABLE AND DIGITAL Figurative Language Introduction Slideshow and Scavenger Hunt Activity! This activity uses movement around the classroom and mentor texts to make learning about figurative language more engaging than a sit-and-get lesson.
This lesson begins with a short introduction slideshow covering ten types of figurative language.
Then, students will complete a scavenger hunt by walking around the room to find an example of each type of figurative language. They will need to find the example amongst five poetry posters, which will have been hung prior to class.
After the scavenger hunt, students must create their own examples for each example of figurative language.
If you find yourself teaching remotely or using a hybrid model, instead of hosting a scavenger hunt around the room, simply assign the included digital version instead! Students will still have to hunt down examples through five poems in a slideshow and record their findings.
This Figurative Language Introduction Slideshow and Scavenger Hunt Activity covers the following terms:
- Simile
- Metaphor
- Implied Metaphor
- Personification
- Hyperbole
- Allusion
- Idiom
- Pun
- Onomatopeia
- Alliteration
These terms were chosen based on this article from MasterClass.
