In this one-time 45 minute class, students will learn everything they need to know about similes and metaphors. Students will learn that a simile compares two things using the words, "like" or "as" while metaphors compare two things without using these words. They will practice identifying sentences as similes or metaphors. Students will then participate in an interactive read aloud where they will become figurative language detectives and record the examples found in the text. Learners will consider what two things the author is comparing and why they chose to make that comparison. After we finish reading, students will have the chance to write their own stories using similes and metaphors.
Learning Goals

Students will be able to locate examples of similes and metaphors in a text.
Students will be able to write their own stories using figurative language.Other Details

Hi There! My name is Kristen Mingione. I am a 5th grade teacher in Westchester, NY. I graduated from Syracuse University with a BS in Elementary and Special Education and from SUNY Cortland with a MS in Literacy Education. I have seven years of teaching experience and my favorite part of teaching is getting to know my students and helping them to succeed in the classroom.
