I think they will really enjoy this jar. It has 126 idioms, similes, and metaphors. Students can sort them and complete the included worksheet.

Figuring Out Figurative Language (and a quick giveaway!)
Getting students to understand figurative language can be like pulling teeth! Last school year my class had an idiom of the week. We also studied similes and metaphors when they popped up in our reading units. Each time I was taken back by the number of kids that had a hard time understanding figurative language (it's no wonder they didn't get my sarcasm!!). Only a handful of students tried using figurative language in their writing. So, of course I decided that my classroom needed a figurative language jar!!

I mean how cute is the flying pig from Melonheadz!! If you would like to take a look at the preview you can check it out in my TpT or TN stores. I would also like to give one away. Just leave a comment about anything and I'll send a copy to someone tonight!

Adorable!
ReplyDeleteThis would be great for our figurative language unit at the beginning of the year. Thanks! mary@guided-math.com
ReplyDeleteThat pig is just too cute! My current class loved figurative language and sometimes with overboard trying to include it in their writing. This was my first 4th grade class that didn't struggle with understanding it. I would love to have this to use in my literacy center.

Looks really cute....Last day of school and already trying to make improvements for next year! I am trying to "beef up" my figurative language materials.

I love this! I've always struggled with getting my kids to use figurative language other than illustrating various similes and metaphors. I think this would be very engaging!

How cute, Aimee! It would be fun to pull a card every morning and have students talk about it in pairs as a warm up activity. Plus, I LOVE the pig! :)
