Figurative Language Rap

[Flocabulary]

We've been posting figurative language lessons here for awhile. Well now we're excited to share with all of you our new figurative language song. It teaches students about 11 common types of figurative language, from simile and metaphor to alliteration and assonance. And it is free for the rest of February:

We also have a corresponding lesson plan with lots of pop culture examples here:

I'm using these lessons in the coming weeks!! I can't say how much I appreciate them. I used Flocab's phenomenal Age of Exploration rap with the same classes when they were studying explorers, and they just loved it. Now I'm really excited about the figurative language lessons and can't wait to bust them out w/ the kids!!  :)

We're so glad to hear that. Let us know how the figurative language lesson goes!
