Figurative Language Project for ELA: Exploring the Power of Words
Help me give my students figurative language game, markers, posters, index cards and more to culminate in students creating a "Figurative Language Gallery" and presenting their own works that demonstrate their understanding of figurative language in action.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Day's classroom raised $188
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
In this project, students will explore various forms of figurative language (simile, metaphor, personification, hyperbole, idioms, alliteration, etc.) through reading, analysis, and hands-on creative writing. Students will discover how authors use figurative language to create vivid imagery, convey emotions, and enhance the meaning of a text.
The project will culminate in students creating a "Figurative Language Gallery" and presenting their own works that demonstrate their understanding of figurative language in action.This figurative language project encourages students to explore the power of language and creativity while developing their writing and analytical skills.
By learning how figurative language enhances both the meaning and emotional depth of a text, students will gain a deeper appreciation for the art of writing and improve their ability to express complex ideas.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
