Idioms
Figurative language, Idioms January 18th, 2008I had 2 resources for the kids to use in class for examples.
- Scholastic Dictionary Of Idioms by Marvin Terban
- There’s a Frog in My Throat: 440 Animal Sayings a Little Bird Told Me by Loreen Leedy and Pat Streets
I had the students choose 4 idioms after looking through the books. They made a poster of each one writing the idiom, its meaning, a sentence with the idiom used properly, and then an illustration of the literal meaning of the idiom.
This went over well! The kids did a great job on their posters!
