Figurative Language Relating to Poetry- Common Core Aligned

Created by

Teacher Creature

This highly interactive lesson introduces students to figurative language and shows them how by using it an author is able to express their own style in their writing by painting a picture in the reader's mind. It uses poetry examples to assess the students learning, and offers as many examples to practice on as your students will need! Reading poetry and understanding it is so critical in the Common Core Standards! This adds SO much to my reading lesson, especially when poetry is being read!!!

Kim Harron

This lesson introduces RAFT (Role, Audience, Format, Topic) writing. There is a slide that explains each letter in the RAFT acronym. Following that, there are six different holiday RAFT writing prompts, with the last one being "free choice". In my class I have students roll a die (real or on the Smart board) to determine which writing prompt they will complete. We type our stories in Microsoft Word.
