Connotation, Denotation, and Figurative Language in "The Sea" by J. Reeves
“The Sea” by James Reeves is OFTEN used in state tests, worksheets, and anthologies. It is short, but provides a lot to discuss. It is straightforward, and yet still complex. The imagery is superb. Almost all of it is within the grasp of the student, and yet there are parts that need discussion to be revealed. All in all, it is a perfect poem to use with a class! Due to copyright laws, I am unable to include the poem. It is easy to find and is likely in your anthology. Included is a lesson pl

Connotation and Denotation - Grade Six
Created for a Grade 6 Language Arts classroom. This product includes a detailed lesson plan, and a PowerPoint. This lesson asks the teacher to go through the PowerPoint (having the students take notes) and then facilitate a hands-on activity. This worked great in my classroom; the kids really enjoy learning connotation through a visual activity. I usually have them use their vocabulary words for that week in the activity.
