I SHAMPOO C: Figurative Language

Explicit Instruction/Teacher modeling

• Have students cut and glue the I SHAMPOO C cutouts on a sheet of paper.
• Have them cut on the dotted lines to make the flaps.
• Have one student read the definition for idiom from the I SHAMPOO C information sheet.
• Next, have another student summarize what the previous student just read.
• Have students write at least two examples of an idiom below the definition.
• Advise students they should try to use an example that is not listed on the information sheet.

Guided practise

• Have students work in pairs or small groups and use the I SHAMPOO C sheets to finish the flippable according to the instructions they received.
• Students will summarize the definition and provide an example for each of the remaining letters (figurative language types).
• Remind students to work with their partner or group to complete this assignment.

Independent working time

• On the back of their I SHAMPOO C cutouts, have students use each type of figurative language in a sentence and underline the part that demonstrates the example under the tab for each.
