This video is part of the Continue to Know with WHRO TV series. Watch Joy Phillips teach about figurative language.

Students define metaphor and discuss its use in writing and visually. Students develop a personal metaphor and use it to write about their own experience.

 This activity is designed to review similes and metaphors. This can be used during instruction with these terms, or as a test-prep review before benchmark or SOL tests. To begin the activity, the teacher will review the simile and metaphor terms. The teacher will model how to identify similes and metaphors. The teacher will instruct the students to open the Google Slide presentation from Google Classroom.
