Are You Happy as a Clam?
Posted by Carlene Gordon…or perhaps down in the dumps? In fourth grade writing class, we are having fun learning the main categories of figurative language, including simile, metaphor, onomatopoeia, and personification. Students are presented with the concept and then tasked with researching or creating examples to add to our wall chart. Initial confused looks are transformed into smiles and giggles as students discover the meanings behind proud as a peacock, you are my sunshine, and straight from the horse’s mouth! Our fourth graders are shining stars as they learn to add interest and imagery to writing pieces with the use of these literary devices. Now that is music to our ears!
