Planning notes for this lesson
Prerequisite skills to check: similes and metaphors (L.5.5a); personification (L.6.5a); using context as a clue to meaning (L.6.4a).
Warm-up idea: Write "My backpack weighs a ton" and "This homework is a monster" on the board. Ask what each really means and why a writer wouldn't just say it plainly.
Exit ticket idea: Students find one figure of speech in a short passage, name it, and explain in one sentence what it means and why the author chose it.
Always check the AI's plan and answers before you teach.
