  • Worksheet
  • Join to access all included materials

In order to understand figurative language, learners read 5 poems, each exemplifying a different literary device. They discuss and write responses to each poem. They then choose one literary device which they will use as the basis for a short film which they will make with iMovie. What a great way to incorporate technology and language arts.
