Figurative Language Guided Notes
This 4-day guided notes packet supports a 6th-grade introduction to figurative language. Students will fill in key terms and examples as you present them, focusing on understanding and application rather than extensive note-taking.
“Hi! I am starting figurative language this week. I want to teach it like they've never heard of it before over the next 4 days (no school Friday). Monday, I would like to create a slideshow that has each figurative language term explained on a slide with several examples, and a short paragraph that shows how it can be added to a story to make it more fun. These slides should come with guided notes for the students where they have to only fill in key words in the definition/explanation of the term, and fill in one or two examples, then not have to write anything for the paragraph. I want them to have to follow along, but not have to take too many notes so they can easily be caught up if they miss and I can easily give them participation points.”
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this packet alongside a slideshow presentation over four days to introduce figurative language concepts.
- Discussion question: Which type of figurative language do you think is most effective in making writing more engaging, and why?
- For struggling readers, pre-fill some of the definitions or provide a word bank for the key terms.
- Advanced learners can be challenged to write their own short paragraph using at least three types of figurative language.
- Estimated time: 45 minutes per day for four days.
