Lesson: Today the students completed the last page in their packets titled "Simile or Metaphor?" Then we practiced finding examples of similes and metaphors in pop culture. First they made a t-chart on lined paper. One side of the t-chart said "Similes" and the other said "Metaphors." Then they each got a device and went to the following links:The links are a compilation of several popular songs and video clips. For each song, they wrote down the similes and metaphors in their t-chart. We had a lot of fun and there was a lot of singing along to the music. :) Click here to watch the video.
