Class Experience

Writers often use two different types of language - figurative language and literal language.  This course will provide students with the opportunity to gain a clear understanding of these.  The teacher will lead 2 video lessons to ensure that all students have common background knowledge of these types of language.  Together teachers and students will explore several phrases that can have very different means when interpreted figuratively vs literally.  Students will then be given the opportunity to choose a phrase from a given list that will become the foundation used to create a visual representation of both the figurative meaning and the literal meaning of the phrase.  During the final live meeting, students will present their visual representations to the teacher and their classmates and explain the difference in the meaning.

Learning Goals

Students will develop a deep understanding of figurative language and literal language and be able to apply it to a given phrase.  Students will be encouraged to use their creative skills in the development of their visual representations.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello - I am a classroom teacher and have been for almost 30 years!  I have been lucky enough to work with students in all types of learning environments - from a traditional classroom to a virtual classroom.  What I have found is that learners are much the same regardless of where they are doing their learning.  I enjoy supporting students of all ages as they begin to take responsibility for their own learning and develop their own passions.  Afterall learning happens anywhere and anytime.  Hope to see you soon!
