Figurative Language KS2

In this Figurative Language KS2 lesson, your class will learn what figurative language is, identify some different types of this device, and use them to create their own effective sentences!

Together, your upper KS2 class will focus on exploring the effect of four different types of figurative language: similes, hyperbole, personification and onomatopoeia, before being challenged to create some examples of their own using given scenes as inspiration!

Everything you need is included within this Figurative Language KS2 English lesson pack - a detailed plan, an engaging set of PDF slides for the teaching input, differentiated activity ideas and printable resources. This lesson contains similar content to a lesson in our Stories for Space: Descriptive Writing scheme of work.
