Review

If you’re looking for a jumping off point for poetry or a way to review figurative language, then this activity pack is for you! Help your students build a strong foundation with this week-long plan designed to review the basics of figurative language.

This review pack uses some activities found on other sections of the site.

What's Included:

• 5 Day Plan

Day One: Figurative Language Mini Lesson- Review the heavy hitters that is commonly used in poetry—simile, metaphor, personification, onomatopoeia, alliteration, hyperbole, idiom, imagery, and allusion. 

• Includes notes, video, and matching activities from the Figurative Language Mini Lesson

 Day Two: Station Rotation- This is a great way to get students moving and engaging with the content

• Includes quests from the Figurative Language section

Day Three: Escape Room- Put their knowledge and understanding to the test with an escape room activity!

• Students solve three puzzles in order to escape the underground city of Derinkuyu.

Day Four: Partner Figurative Language Scavenger Hunt- Students will hunt through a passage/excerpt to find examples of figurative language.

• After students read, they will complete the chart. For this activity, I have my students read an excerpt from Look Both Ways by Jason Reynolds.

• For each example of figurative language they find, students record the page number, type of figurative language, meaning, and impact.

Day 5: Frozen Review- This is always a favorite with my students!

• Watch and listen to 9 songs from the movie Frozen and analyze the lyrics for figurative language.

• Includes figurative language multiple choice questions for each song!

Y'all!! I have not been so excited about a resource in a long time! For real. I think this choice board is such a great review of the power standards AND it saves so you so much time.

There are 9 practice activities for students to choose from (or have them do them all!).

Each activity is hyperlinked to a cheat sheet (for students who need a little reminder or extra assistance) and linked to a 10 question Google Form (the grading is done for you!)

Are you doing a happy dance yet?!

Choice Board Covers:

• Literature-Text Evidence & Inference, Identifying Theme, and Evaluating Dialogue for Character Traits

• Informational Text- Central Idea, Identifying Text Structures, and Arguments & Claims

• Language- Context Clues, Analyzing Figurative Statements, and Analogies

• Each standard has a cheat sheet with key vocabulary and examples hyperlinked to it so students can review the concept on their own, as needed.

Resource Includes:

1. Google Slides Choice Board: The 9 grid board with hyperlinks can easily be customized to fit your needs and dropped into Google Classroom. You can have your students complete it as a choice board or do all of them for a great review- providing content for 1-2 weeks.

2. Cheat Sheets: Students can't remember what central idea means? No worries! Each standard has a cheat sheet with student friendly definitions and examples.

3. 10 Question Practice Form: This is the best part! Each standard has a quality 10 question Google Forms quiz. That means you link the quizzes to the Choice Board , your students complete them, and they are automatically graded. It's so easy for you to see the areas students need extra support
