Step 3Learning Plan

Learning activities (step by step from start to finish, detailed enough for another teacher to follow)
Students will begin online lesson with explanation and examples of Metaphor, Simile, Personification, and
Hyperbole. Examples will be on Versal and students can view them as often as needed.
Students then go to an activity where they match a definition or example to the correct form of figurative
language. 12 examples will be provided, with a one minute and forty five second time limit. Students will
need to match at least nine out of twelve to proceed.
Students will then be directed to a downloadable worksheet, where they will identify more examples, and
create examples of their own. This worksheet will be put in a Dropbox for the class.
