Figurative Language is designed for grades 1–2, organized around the study of figurative language, explores the idea that language can change the way we think about the world by creating new images and connections in our minds. The unit uses poetry and picture books as the basis for analyzing different types of figurative language, including simile, metaphor, and personification, and gives opportunities for students to create their own literary images. In addition, the unit introduces students to persuasive writing and to advanced word study, as well as providing an opportunity for students to explore how language changes over time in their families and their culture. 2001 Winner of a National Association for Gifted Children Curriculum Division Award for Outstanding Curriculum.
