Figurative Language - Similes and Metaphors

Students will review the meanings of similes and metaphors. The teacher will share multiple examples from different types of media. During the lesson, students will practice identifying and explaining the meaning of similes and metaphors in selected songs. Students will complete a graphic organizer with examples from song lyrics of their own choosing. Students will then be asked to create a presentation about how the figurative language expresses the speaker’s attitude along with visuals to illustrate the examples from their song.
