Purposeful and Transparent
The teacher is very explicit and systematic in how she walks through the questions posed about each poem as students examine simile, metaphor and personification.
Contextual
Students need to be able to recognize figurative language -- specifically similes, metaphors and personification -- in everyday print and especially find these elements in songs and poems that appear on the GED test.
Building Expertise
Most students have had some experience with figurative language, but are often confused. This lesson builds on their prior knowledge and gives them practice in identifying each element.
