Halloween is a treat for writers who want to haunt their readers. In this spooky workshop I will explain the different elements of figurative language and why they are so important. Hyperboles, similes, onomatopoeia's and more! Figurative language provides the tools we need to express ourselves in a way that gets our message across, is interesting to read and fun to write. In this one class, students will learn what figurative language is, be provided with definitions, and plenty of opportunity to practice. Prior familiarity of figurative language is useful but not necessary. Each element will be introduced in a way that's easy to understand. This class is great for reluctant writers looking for encouragement, as well as for already enthusiastic writers looking for more tools. This class includes my pdf, The 50 Spookiest Figurative Language Prompts Of All Time. (See what I did there?)

Teacher expertise and credentials
I love teaching figurative language so much that I literally wrote an entire book about it. I have been using figurative language to help students make their words jump off of the page for many years. I'm silly and fun, and my goal in life is to make every child an enthusiastic writer.
