Our latest writing unit is about figures of speech and how we can incorporate them into our writing. So far, we’ve have an introduction to similes, metaphors, and oxymora, and next week we’ll learn about hyperbole, understatement, euphemisms, and personification. The students especially loved learning about sports metaphors and writing some “trash talk” for their own pretend teams using metaphors, and they enjoyed looking for similes and oxymorons in music and movies. Their writing including these figures of speech has been lively and imaginative, and it will be fun to see them use all seven figures of speech in their writing pieces next week!
