Figurative Language

During the first part of 3rd quarter we are focusing on the standard: Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative language such as metaphors and similes.

To begin, we reviewed different types of figurative language. 

Then we created class posters to refer to, and for students to show what they learned. 

This week we are reading an excerpt from "Savvy" by Ingrid Law, identifying the figurative language in the excerpt and using our background knowledge and context clues to help us understand what the figurative language means.
