Valentine's Day Writing Activity for Middle School BUNDLE

UPDATED! Your middle school students will have a blast using similes to write Valentines to their favorite people or other things they love: TikTok, VSCO girls, Video Games, Netflix, Weekends, Summers, and their Beds! This easy-to-implement 4 day lesson plan focuses on Similes and Irony and includes everything from Brainstorm to Rubric. Now offered in PRINT & GO, and an EDITABLE, DIGITAL version so your students can complete these lessons electronically.

This Product Includes:

• The Big Picture question, Essential Questions and CCSS
• Notes to the Teacher detailing what to do on each of the 4 days of the mini-unit
• Handouts include: Creating Similes, Brainstorm, Requirements, Drafting, and Ironic Smiles
• Peer-Conference Sheet

After your students have conquered Similes, they can move onto the METAPHORS activity. You can teach it as a stand-alone activity or as a launch for a Poetry Unit or Unit on Figurative Language. Activity allows for student choice while enabling them to work at their own pace. Always a BIG hit!
