For the past two weeks, my class has been learning about figurative language and how to use it to enhance writing. We worked through 6 elements of figurative language: similes, metaphors, hyperboles, idioms, personification, and onomatopoeia. Here is a listing of picture books I used to teach figurative language and the activity we completed for each piece of language: My lovely student teacher started off with a T-Chart on the board with "like/as" in the center. She had a variety of pictures and words on magnets. Students came up and moved the pieces to create similes such as "busy as a bee" or "cool as a cucumber." She then read the class "Crazy like a Fox." Afterward, she brainstormed with the class characters and a plot to create a class simile story. Pairs of students were assigned a page and had to write a few sentences, including one .". They are currently working on finishing off the illustrations. This story is great to read to your class even if you aren't teaching figurative language! It's all about a boy who can't help but shout out and the strategy he learns to stop it from happening. I didn't do much beyond read the story as the students were able to easily understand having done similes first. Again, I LOVE this story! There are two sequels as well: "More Parts" and "Even More Parts." They are quite funny. The entire book is an exaggeration, but there's also some idioms in here as well. I started off this lesson by having students wash their hands. They were so intrigued just from that! When they returned to their desks, there was a bowl of Alpha-bits cereal on each table group. I gave them 5 minutes to make as many words as they could. After, I told them "Eat your words." :) I explained that in this situation, I actually meant "eat your words", but that's not what the saying really meant. Only one student has actually heard the saying before, so they explained it to the class. As I read "Amelia Bedelia's First Field Trip" (you could read any Amelia story, they are all full of idioms) the students munched their snack and were on the lookout for other things that sounded one way, but actually meant something else. They were able to find them all! I didn't use a book for this one. We talked about onomatopoeia earlier in the year when working on "great grabbers" for writing. A student did tell me that Batman comics would be really useful for teaching this though. I heard about this book on my favourite website - Pinterest. I ordered it off Chapters website and am very happy I did. The little red pen has a whole lot of marking to do, and none of the other school supplies want to help her. But, when she falls into the Pit of No Return (the garbage can) the supplies get together to help her out. I started off by making a chart with all the supplies as headings. I also had an actual red pen, stapler, eraser, push pin and green highlighter. I had the students describe the items. After reading the story, we added more to the chart based on how the books are in the story. I called a student up to circle any "alive" words. It was at this point I introduced the term personification. Students made their own chart that had the headings: noun, verb and adjective. The added at least 5 items under each. From there, they could create personification sentences such as "the wind tapped softly on my window" or "the car grunted as it slowly climbed the hill". What books do you use for teaching figurative language? Leave me your suggestions in the comments!

I am so excited to share this packet of Leap Year 2024 Coloring Pages with you today! My children and I have not talked much about Leap Year and why we add February 29th to the calendar every 4 years, so I wanted to put together a mini unit study for them. This unit study isn't going to be anything elaborate - just a one day event where we talk quite a bit about the need for a leap year. Because we do quite a bit of learning one-room schoolhouse-style, I created a neat Leap Year coloring book that all

This is a really simple straight forward rubric that works beautifully for weekly sketchbooks that I assign in high school visual arts. It makes marking easy - I do it on the spot with students..just call them up one-by-one and go though it. If there's not enough time, I will collect them and write in feedback on this sheet. It has LOOK FOR's which include: ✤elements and principles / composition ✤creativity ✤effort ETC. (these are all really easy for them to understand - so it's not vague, which is key to marking art) At the bottom are extra areas for comments/suggestions...this is where I put their mark and pick one main thing for them to work on. TIP - Sometimes I make them do this as a self-assessment - we sort of mark it together. They're really honest with themselves!

This post contains affiliate links. Middle and high school English teachers, especially those with classroom libraries or an independent reading requirement, have to please a wide variety of student readers. But how do we help the students who lack the interest, time, or motivation to read? I recently asked several English teachers to share fiction titles for reluctant or picky readers that are appropriate for a secondary classroom, and here are the results. Though they vary in terms of being best for middle school, high school, or both, many of these have exciting plots to keep reluctant readers turning the page.

The following selection of books are drawn from a variety of different reading lists, and represent the books that we at The HomeScholar are both familiar with and feel comfortable recommending to college-bound students. It’s not possible (or even desirable!) for any student to read all the books on every high school reading list, and not every book will be appropriate for every child.
Poetry is one of those topics teachers seem to either love or hate. Students seem to feel the same way. However, Common Core and state reading standards are emphasizing figurative language more than ever. Not only do students have to learn how to read poetry, they also need to learn to compare and contrast it […]

This card sort is a great way to practice calculating missing angles and arcs using relationships of central angles, inscribed angles, tangent lines, and secant lines. Before the activity, be sure students are familiar with the circle theorems and formulas used to calculate missing arcs and angles. Students sort the cards based the vertex location and which formula will be used to solve. Then they use given information to solve for unknown arcs or angles. Problems include angles with vertices inside a circle, outside a circle, and on a circle. Tips are included for helping the activity go smoothly. Eight cards are provided. The four on the left are less challenging than the four on the right, so differentiation can be utilized if needed. Answer key is provided. Common Core Standard: CCSS.Math.Content.HSG.C.A.2 Identify and describe relationships among inscribed angles, radii, and chords. Include the relationship between central, inscribed, and circumscribed angles; inscribed angles on a diameter are right angles; the radius of a circle is perpendicular to the tangent where the radius intersects the circle. Check out my Arc Measures Foldable! It works great in conjunction with this activity. Thank you for your interest in this resource from Rise over Run.
