- I was walking on the sidewalk when boom! I saw a car hit the wall. It zoomed down the road and crunched against the wall. The cars behind it screeched to a stop and honked.
Lesson: We finished and shared our comics. Then the students learned about a new type of figurative language - oxymoron! An oxymoron is a word or phrase in which contradictory or opposite terms are used together. For example, jumbo shrimp, sweet tart, and doing nothing are all oxymoron. We discussed several examples in class and looked at pictures of oxymoron. Below you will see some of my favorites! The students wrote the definition and examples in their figurative language packet.
