IDIOMS: Local Lingo

Your children have probably heard and/or used Idioms in their every day language. This prior knowledge will readily prepare and engage your learners for the expansive world of Idioms in our culture and other cultures. It’s a great way to encourage multi-culturalism.

Included in this Idioms' CLAMDiggers Unit are:

• front & back covers for booklet use
• a thematic literature list of trade books
• a general instructional lesson plan for using specified trade books with introductory ideas
• 10 hands-on interactive activities with instructions written on an independent upper elementary level

You can utilize this unit as:

• whole group instruction
• small group instruction
• cooperative groups
• center time activities
• partner sharing
• independent study

This 38-page Idioms Study:

• follows Bloom’s learning sequence for Higher Order Thinking
• has multiple hands-on, extension activities
• engages the learner in reading, writing, and problem-solving
• encourages Critical Thinking Skills: classifying, explaining, evaluating, etc.

Remember to access Idioms' corresponding Freebie: Idiom Inquiry for more examples of this Figurative Language.

You can, also, read a Figurative Language Overview on my website.
