Figurative Language Quiz

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Combining questions about figurative language and Sandra Cisneros's The House on Mango Street, this quiz would be a good addition to your class. The majority contains questions about simile, metaphor, and personification, from matching definitions to identifying examples, and even a section for pupils to create their own examples of all three. A section on The House on Mango Street could be removed if it's not relevant to your class.
