Listen carefully for figurative language that the characters use in their dialogue. Keep track of the figurative language used and discuss with your classmate 1. what types of figurative language are being used, 2. what the language adds to the show, and 3. did you enjoy the use of figurative language? Why or why not? If you dislike the use of figurative language in "Clarence," how would you utilize figurative language to improve the scene?

Okay, sorry for the bad joke. But really, generate a tongue twister on this website and try to make it more difficult by adding at least FIVE more words to the sentence. Once you've completed your tongue-torturing alliteration, underline the words that you've added and bring the twister to me to receive a grade.

Use Sketchpad on your iPad to draw a quick picture of what the idiom is saying literally. Then, once you've drawn out a picture, write the figurative meaning of the idiom at the bottom of the picture and save it all to Google Classroom.***

***Do NOT tell anyone which idiom you've picked. As a class we'll take turns guessing which idioms each of us  chose by pairing the pictures with the figurative meanings. Telling us the idiom spoils the fun!]]> 2017-11-09 01:49:00 UTC https://padlet.com/brettcady37/FigSpeechAdventure/wish/205112196 brettcady37 https://padlet.com/brettcady37/FigSpeechAdventure/wish/205114437 Take a Figurative Language quiz here to make sure that you're ready to move along with the lesson.
