Having fun with words and sounds! Extend your students’ experience with onomatopoeia by giving them words to sort and asking them to identify how an author could use specific words in their writing.
When your students read this silly poem, they will find examples of hyperbole. Then, they will make a connection to another language concept: superlatives!
Teach your students about hyperbole using music! First, let them practice interpreting hyperboles. Then, play a song (or provide lyrics) and invite them to listen for an example of hyperbole.
Transition words introduce new ideas and connect key elements in a story. In this exercise, your students will identify and use transition words in a series of sentences.
