[eMINTS] figurative language

[Trina Davidson]

This is a link to the MO DESE website for 4th grade model curriculum regarding figurative language with nonfiction.  You should be able to make some modifications to meet your needs for 5th grade.  Good luck!

Subject: [eMINTS] figurative language



One of the GLE's I am especially working on this year is figurative
language in nonfiction.  R3B5 Identify and explain figurative language
in nonfiction text (emphasize simile, metaphor, and personification).

I can find lots of examples of figurative language in poetry and prose,
but I'm not finding as many in nonfiction.  Does anyone know of Internet
sites, books, articles or anything for teaching this GLE.

I've noticed that my lower readers have the most difficulty with this
as they take things very literal, so lower level reading would not be a
problem.

Thanks,
Julie
