Description

Similes and Metaphors are so fun to teach to middle school students! Through poetry, students will learn about figurative language and how it affects a poem.

With 35+ Slides and student worksheets, this print-and-go resource will teach students about similes and metaphors and how they affect poetry and writing. Through a fun and engaging PowerPoint or Google Slides Presentation, students will have been exposed to numerous examples and have ample opportunities to practice interpreting figurative language in poetry--both as a class and individually with the included two-page assignment.

This activity works well for traditional in-person or can also be used digitally for distance learning.
