What are the SIX types? Simile Metaphor Personificati on Hyperbol e Allitera- tion Idiom

SIMILE A comparison of two or more things Uses comparative words: like, as, than, similar to When a simile is used, the linking to something else is clear

EXAMPLES of SIMILES My love is like a red rose. We were as quiet as frightened mice. The lie formed like a blister on his lips. That player is as slippery as a snake.

Metaphor Deals with two items in a way that makes the statement vivid and strong. Compares two items. Does NOT have the words like, as, than, similar to, or resembles.

Examples of Metaphors I cannot wrestle with this monster problem. That guy is a motor mouth. Her teeth are pearls. The athlete is a powerhouse.

Is used to give objects, things or animals human characteristics which we recognize in ourselves. This technique is used to animate things with qualities which we know very well belong to people.

EXAMPLES of Personification The sun peeked over the mountain. One lonely slice of pizza remained. The camera hates me. My air conditioner is wheezing in pain.

Phrases in which people use in everyday language which do not make sense literally, but we understand what they mean. Let’s read the book My Mama Likes to Say

Work Together Each pair will be assigned an idiom. Work together to create a poster that includes the idiom with the real meaning and a picture of the literal meaning.

Is a phrase that uses exaggeration to give a statement impact. Can you think of a type of literary genre that uses a lot of hyperbole?

Group Work Each group will be given a tall-tale to read. As you read your tall-tale, write down all the hyperboles you find ~ extreme exaggerations. Also if you find other figurative language we have learned about, write these down as well. Be ready to share your tall-tale with the rest of the class.

Alliteration Is when the beginning of words start with the same consonant or vowel sounds in stressed syllables – and the words are close together. It is a device that is used to have dramatic impact on the listener. Also known as tongue twisters!

Time to get thinking! With your group, create your own alliterations ~ tongue twisters. After you have created several, each person is to select one and create a poster that has the alliteration and a picture.

QUIZ TIME On a piece of paper, write the six forms of figurative language we have learned about this week. Write the definition of each form. Give an example of each type.
