Step 1: All about Figurative Language
Figurative language can be found in literature, movies, and music. For this summative activity, you are going to a song to analyze!
Identify at least 3 examples of figurative language in the song. Define each type of figurative language and explain how you know this (textual support from song). Explain how the examples of figurative language impact the meaning of the song.
You can do this via Google Docs (essay), Google Slide Presentation, Video Lesson (you explaining it), Podcast, etc.
Step 4: Submit
Once you are finished, upload and submit your summative activity in Google Classroom. Make sure to proof-read your work for errors first!
