This is a great activity to illustrate both the literal and figurative meanings of idioms of their choice. Students also include a written explanation to deepen their understanding.

• After reading a story, teacher and students will discuss the characters and characteristics of each.
• Instruct students to choose a character that they feel has the same characteristics as themselves.
• Students will write the name of the character and list 1-3 (depending on student’s level) characteristics that they have in common using the sentence frame:
  • I am like (character) because we are both _______ and _______.
