Objective: Today, we’re going to explore the fascinating world of figurative language—an essential tool used by writers to make their work more vivid and impactful.
To kick things off, I'd like to invite you on a short adventure! Imagine you’ve just received a mysterious envelope in the mail. Inside, there’s a note that reads:
“Your words are a river, flowing with creativity and wonder. To unlock the treasure of expression, you must dive deep beneath the surface, where the golden fish of figurative language swim.”
Think: Take a moment to think about what this message might mean. What do you think is being said about words and creativity?
Pair: Turn to a partner and share your thoughts. How do you interpret the imagery used in the note?
Share: After a few minutes, we will come back together as a class and share our ideas. Listen closely, because this will help guide us as we unravel the mysteries of figurative language!
After our discussion, we’ll define figurative language and explore different types—like similes, metaphors, personification, and hyperbole. Throughout the lesson, we’ll look for examples in poems, stories, and even everyday speech.
Get ready to dive into the creative waters of language, where we’ll discover how figurative language adds richness to our writing and expression. Let’s unlock the treasure together!
