Learning Objective 7.4 The student will read to determine the meanings and Content
pronunciations of unfamiliar words and phrases within authentic
texts. c) Identify and analyze figurative language. Activity Begin using slides 1-4 and getting students verbally and cognitively involved by asking them to tell me what they remember about each of the types of figurative language listed. Next, after talking about some examples, I will separate the class into 4 teams and have teams 1 and 2 line up. 1 student at a time for each team will come up and when I say go, they will drag ONE example of a simile or metaphor and place it in the correct section. If their answer is incorrect, they can adjust accordingly. After the first two student are done, they will move to the end of the line and the next student will come up. Repeat this process until all the example are used up. There is no winner, but the students will enjoy the competition. At the end of the lesson, I will restart the slide and go through each example asking the class with category the examples fall under in order to allow all of the student to see each example. I will review slide 6-7. On slide 8, have teams 3 and 4 come up and do the same thing as teams 1 and 2 did initially. Upon completion, we will check their answers and then review with the whole class. All students are rewarded with a piece of small candy. I will again review slide 9 and on slide 10, ask 4 students to come up and write examples of hyperboles. I will review slide 11. On slide 12, I will have students come up individually to fill-in the sentences on the board with an appropriate response. On slide 13, I will move the answers to the Pedagogy
appropriate place as students give me to correct answer, or just
have 1 student come up and do it, in order to keep the end of the lesson calm. Technology http://exchange.smarttech.com/details.html?id=c63d0858- Techn0logy
