Description and Background


Information

Lesson Objectives

5-1.3 Interpret devices of figurative language (including


simile,
metaphor, personification, and hyperbole) and sound
devices
(including onomatopoeia and alliteration).
Figurative language is yet another literary device which authors use to make both fiction
and non-fiction interesting and realistic. Some students may already be familiar with some
of the terms we will examine in this lesson, including metaphor, simile, personification, and
hyperbole. In this lesson, we will analyze and identify sentences using figurative language
and create our own.

Students will become familiar with figurative language techniques (i.e., similes,
metaphors, personification, etc.).
Students will create original examples of figurative language.
For the students having difficulty I will come around and work independently with each
member on the concept of figurative language.

Varying Objectives for


Individuals Needs

For students who have already mastered the concepts. I will give them the opportunity to
create more sentences using a different device than assigned. Once they have completed
this exercise, I would allow them to present their sentence(s) and picture(s) to the class.

It is important to learn figurative language because it can be intriguing to a reader. It also


portrays emotions more accurately than in a literal situation.

Part II: IMPLEMENTATION

Pre-assessment

Teacher Modeling or
Demonstration
Guided Practice
Checking for Understanding

I will ask the students to raise their hand if they have ever heard of figurative language. I
will then ask them what they know about figurative language.

I I will model to my students how to create their sentence using the assigned figurative
language and draw a picture.

Together we will complete a T-Chart on the four figurative language devices. Giving the
name and meaning or use of the device.
What are two key words that aid us in identifying similes?
Do the terms like or as help us to identify a metaphor?
What type of qualities do we look for when trying to identify personification?
Are we using metaphors when we exaggerate? If not, what device are we using?
Students will create their own sentences using the assigned figurative language and draw a
picture to represent it.

Independent Practice
Closure

I will wrap up my lesson by reviewing the language devices and giving the students a ticket
out the door/ Question for Ticket out the Door: What is your favorite figurative language
device and why?
What will students do to demonstrate what they have learned?

Assessment

ATTACH ALL PRACTICES (GUIDED / INDEPENDENT & ASSESSMENT) TO LESSON PLAN.


Magazine articles, commercials and books consist of many different types of figurative
language and will aid in extension of their knowledge.

The use of Smart board will help my students to pay attention and grasp the concepts. I will use
multiple pictures via PowerPoint to interest the students. I can have the students come up and touch
to identify certain aspects of figurative language.
