This is a high interest lesson that includes segments of music, television shows and movies of interest to students. Students will review the meanings of similes and metaphors and see multiple examples from different types of media during the video portion of the lesson. During the lesson, students will practice identifying and interpreting the meaning of similes and metaphors in selected songs. As a summative assessment, students will be asked to complete a graphic organizer where they will find examples from song lyrics of their own choosing that include each form of the figurative language discussed. Students will then be asked to illustrate one of each from their song(s) as well.
