Great resource, my kids absolutely loved doing the task cards! Just wish there had been more for metaphors, as that is what I bought the packet for.

Students often confuse these two comparisons, so this resource allows them to practice their differences and similarities. Having them side by side using similar language helps students make the distinction between the two.

My students and I really enjoyed this resource. It was engaging and taught them lots of new similes and metaphors that they could use in their writing.

My students love to use task cards, they don’t even realize that they’re learning while doing them because they compete against each other to see who can get the most correct answers. I am excited that the resource is now in digital form as well. I am excited to use this with my students this fall, this time in the digital format. I am happy that I have the resource for in person and online no matter what modality we use this fall.

I appreciated having these easily accessible as a resource for reviewing these terms with my older students (Grades 7 and 8). It allowed us to start of our units on figurative speech and poetry in a more playful way. It also provided a foundation for students to create their own quizzes to test each other. Thanks for offering this resource!

These are great with my students!

I didn’t particularly care for the wording of similes and metaphors, so I used my own slide for that. But other than that, the moving of the arrows to show the correct answer was easy for students to do and there were enough slides so that we could discuss answers as a whole group and then some to do independently.

I used this activity as a mid unit “review” for my students and as a small group activity with my ELL students. Figurative language is a tricky concept for ELL students and this activity allowed me to differentiate so that I could best meet the needs of everyone in my class. Thank you!
