Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher
Figurative language uses words beyond their literal meaning to create humor, images or emphasis. There are 7 sheets for 8th grade here, 6 with answer keys. Puns in Headlines and Signs and Verbal Irony in Dialogue focus on the figures of speech that depend on double or opposite meaning. Figurative Language in a Science Feature, in a City Profile and in Music Reviews ask students to name and explain figures of speech in longer passages, and a reference chart covers paradox, euphemism and synecdoche. All of the sheets practice L.8.5.A.
