This Common Core language lesson covers how to identify and interpret hyperbole. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for Common Core assessments. In this lesson, students will develop the skill of looking for an exaggerated phrase in text that stretches the truth about something, and then interpreting its meaning. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of independent practice with questions modeled after the Common Core assessment items.
