Figurative Language Unit - Feat. Idioms, Puns, Allusions, Poems, Irony, & tests
Huge bundle of some of the most fun Figurative Language standards, concepts, and skills to teach or review with middle school students. I've gathered together some of my favorites from many different units, so though it may seem like a completely random bundle of activities, if you're teaching writing, working with students to improve their written voice or tone, and move from a world of dry, literal writing (which does have its place) into the realm of figurative expression, sarcasm, and wit...

Prometheus and Pandoraś Box - Close Read
A close reading of the Greek myths about Prometheus and Pandora pair beautifully with Flowers for Algernon - use this on its own, in a mythology unit, or as I do embedded in my FFA unit. This 2 day activity is a great way to hit RL8.9 (making connections about how classic stories have been rendered new), and it gives students a rest from FFA (which is a long read). Students should complete the vocabulary activities as they read each section of Prometheus. Each time they pass an underlined (vocab
