This assignment
would be for the secondary level. The objective also known as the TLW- the
learner will would be for students to understand how imagery and figurative
language is used in literature, nonfiction, fiction and even poetry. The author
uses imagery to paint a picture in the readers mind, appealing to the five
senses: touch, smell, see, taste, hear. Figurative language is used for
comparisons and expressions. Students must understand why figurative language
and imagery are important.
Teaching How to Recognize and Use Imagery and Figurative Language
Review: In recognizing and using IMAGERY and FIGURATIVE
Language remember:
·
Imagery uses sensory details to create pictures
in the reader’s mind.
·
Figurative Language uses imaginative comparisons
and other expressions that are not literally true.
·
Similes use like or as to link two things that
are not alike.
·
Metaphors link two unlike things without using
like or as.
·
Personification gives human qualities to
nonhuman things.
·
Hyperbole exaggerates the literal facts.
