What's Included?

• Teacher Instructions
• 32 Task Cards with Underlining (easier)
• 32 Task Cards without Underlining (advanced)
• Black Line Versions of All Task Cards
• Google Slides Activity
• Easel Assessment (self-checking)
• 7 Reference Cards (one for each type)
• 5 Challenge Cards and Cover Card
• Student Response Sheet
• Answer Sheet

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The cards are presented in two formats to help you meet the needs & differentiate for all of your students. (Please note that the passages are the same on both sets.) The first set is for younger or struggling students. The figure of speech is underlined on each card, making it easier to identify. The second set features the same passages, but the figures of speech are not underlined, making the activity much more challenging for older or advanced students.

In addition, there are seven cards with definitions and examples for each type of figurative language that can be used as reference. Two challenge cards, a cover card, an answer sheet and an answer key are also included. Blackline versions of the cards are also provided for printing on colored paper.

Use Digitally with Google Slides or as a Self-Checking Easel Assessement!
