CSE 615 Presentation

1. The goal for this sign is to represent all that entails Figurative Language geared towards elementary
students; particularly 3rd through 5th grade students. What I like about this is that my message is in
a different color and can be read within the context of the attributes that make up Figurative
Language. I plan to use this as my opening cover page in our unit on Figurative Language.

3. First Design
On my first design, I wanted to create something that was fun, vibrant,
and aligned with what I could use with my online teaching. The quote I
used and the information I presented helped bring together Figurative
Language. However, as I progressed through the course, I realized how I
could simplify my design and still get the message across.

5. Second Design
On my second design, I wanted to create the proximity look that
displayed Figurative Language at the bottom. This also represents
symbolism because Figurative Language supports the different parts
that teach us what it is. I like this design, but new I could do more to
create the effect I want.

7. Third Design
On my third design, I wanted to create a color theme/tome and
simplicity. I really love this design because it reminds me of life before
color. The black outline is great because it creates emphasis on the
theme of my design. I also like the puzzle pieces I used to help
represent my message.

8. FIGURATIVE
LANGUAGE
Expresses an idea that goes beyond the actual
meaning of the words.
Describing and comparing something to something
else.
Interpreting figurative language means to understand
what the author says.
Each piece fits together like a puzzle.

9. Fourth Design
On my third design, I wanted to create contrast and explanation. I really
love this design because it reminds me of a monopoly card. The black
outline and white text with pops of color help the reader understand
what figurative language is. The words in color are descriptive words
without using the actual elements of alliteration, hyperbole, etc.
