Figurative Language Activity

This week we are going to focus on Figurative Language. If you have access to a printer please print out the figurative language activities below to work on throughout the week. Let me know if you have any questions or if you are ready to check your answers.

Figurative language uses figures of speech to be more effective, persuasive, and impactful. Figures of speech such as metaphors, similes, and allusions go beyond the literal meanings of the words to give readers new insights. On the other hand, alliterations, imageries, or onomatopoeias are figurative devices that appeal to the senses of the readers.

Audible:
