Description
If you want your students to write amazing poems, a clear understanding of figurative language and plenty of practice can really help.
First, use the no-prep presentations to teach your students how to recognize and use different types of figurative language.
Then, use the figurative language worksheets (with google slide option) to help your students master seven common types of figurative language: simile, metaphor, idioms, hyperbole, personification, onomatopoeia, and alliteration. Includes definitions, examples, and plenty of practice.

Here’s what teachers are saying:
✏️ “My students loved doing this! It kept them engaged, allowing the class to work together and independent work time also. The availability to post and access on Google Classroom was huge!! Great tool!” -Jamie F.
✏️ “My students loved poetry this year! They appreciated being able to do it on the iPads and were able to simply copy and paste from the Google Slides into a Google Doc to create their very own poetry book. So much fun and easy to use! “ -Lingel’s Community
✏️ “These slides were great for figurative language and poetry practice! I could assign a few slides at a time & even use the last slide of a section as a quiz grade. I loved them on Google slides so both my in-person and virtual students could work on them at the same time without me having to email separate worksheets to the virtual students. The students loved the examples of different types of poems & then being able to make their own.” -Ginny M.
