Fun Fall Poems- using and writing metaphors




Students had a fun learning about metaphors this week. Student generated a large graphic organizer about fall using their five senses to help them. They then took inspiration from their graphic organizer to create a short poem about fall. Students wrote five metaphors for each of their poems. The students were shining stars again today!



Figurative Language: Similes

Students learned about similes today (comparing two things using the words "like" or "as"). They practiced by writing their own similes describing ice cream.
