There are four tasks/challenges that take around 40 minutes to complete.The first task deals with messed up sentences in which words must be rearranged to make a complete sentence; then, they must fill out boxes with what is being asked.The second task has students identify nouns, prepositions, adjectives, adverbs, verbs, and possessive pronouns; then, they must fill out boxes with what is being asked.The third task requires students to identify gerunds, prepositions, participles, adjectives, ad

This is an assessment for the figurative language unit. It includes matching term and definition for simile, metaphor, analogy, allegory, allusion, symbol, pun, hyperbole, alliteration, onomatopoeia, idiom, and personification. There is a poem where they must find examples of terms. There are sentences that they must identify as terms.There is a constructed response section that focuses on theme, symbolism, mood, and tone.

This is a worksheet that can be done individually or with a partner to practice with similes, metaphors, and analogies.

This is 16 analogy pairs.I would print these on card stock and laminate to keep them nice for the future.I did this activity by giving each student half an analogy, and then then had to find their partner quietly.You could also do this by giving each group all of the pairs and having them match all of the analogies. (If you do this, I would recommend that you number the backs or print on different colored paper so that the sets do not get mixed up.)

This is a great, fun activity for students after learning about similes and metaphors. Students will fill out the boxes on "stick man." You can take this a step further and have the students either draw what it would look like if everything was literal or write a poem/rap using the information from stick man.

This is an activity to help students learn and understand idioms in a fun way.It is a set of cards with 20 different idioms and their meanings that need to be matched.You could do these a couple of different ways. You could play this like memory/concentration where all cards are turned over, and students try to find a match; students will collect the cards when they match.You could make it into a competition where groups try to match up all the cards the quickest.It could be used as one statio
