You think English is hard enough as it is? Well, try being a visitor from outer space! Use this funny and engaging teaching pack (with multiple activities) to help your students practice and build upon their knowledge of connotation and denotation, plus their ability to compare the connotations of words with similar meanings.

This bundle includes both my intro lesson on connotation and denotation (with slides and guided notes) and my printable manipulatives sort activity on the same topic. If you buy both resources here instead of purchasing them as singles, you save 20% on your total purchase!

If you purchase this resource, please leave a review afterwards with feedback for me. This review gives you TpT credit to apply towards future purchases, and it also helps me to ensure that my learning resources are as effective and helpful as possible. Thank you!
