Figurative Language 3D Heart Craftivity

January 12, 2015 By fancyfreein4th

I reviewed Figurative Language with my class the week before we went on Winter Break and they loved it. They confused metaphors with similes as well as hyperboles with idioms.  Creating something new for figurative language has been on my radar for awhile because I have second language learners.  I already have a great, hot selling product called Figurative Language is a Hoot. Read about it here.  However, I wanted to create something seasonal that we can do every holiday to reinforce these literary devices. The more practice, the more mastery and the more that they will start noticing, identifying, classifying and using them in their writing, reading and speaking.

This Figurative Language 3d Heart Model is a perfect activity for your classroom. This Valentine's Day craft will let the kids write their own holiday inspired sentences. Perfect for bulletin boards.

So I created something for Valentine’s Day, since it is just around the corner.

 With this activity, the students will review
personification, alliteration, onomatopoeia, hyperbole, simile, and metaphors.
Then, they will write their own examples for each, using the brainstorming page
to help them remain on topic. Finally, all of the poems will be written on a
heart. By assembling them together a 3d model will be created which is an
adorable and bulletin board display, The students get to be creative while
reviewing language concepts. This product will be included in a seasonal
Figurative Language Craftivity
so that the students will have the ability to practice all year long.
Included
in this set:
-Posters
for all 6 poetic devices
-Planning
pages for each of the literary devices
-A
brainstorming sheet for Valentine’s Day ideas and symbols
-A
Valentine’s Day idiom game
– 7 heart patterns with lines for writing their final draft on A blank tree pattern
-Sample
pictures for assembly
This Figurative Language 3d Heart Model is a perfect activity for your classroom. This Valentine's Day craft will let the kids write their own holiday inspired sentences. Perfect for bulletin boards.
Your
students will LOVE playing around with language and creating a beautiful
product. 

  This can be used for a centers, independent
work, direct instruction, sub-work or homework!  Check my instagram because I am giving one of these away or grab one at my Teachers Pay Teachers store!!!
