This powerpoint gives an overview on how I would use a specific SMART lesson plan involving figurative language.

1. Say What?
Recognizing Figurative
Language
Austin Snyder

2. For a very confused 9th grade
English Language Arts class
HOW CAN IT RAIN CATS AND
DOGS?!?!

3. SMART Lesson
Plan
Writing Prompts

4. When? Why?

5. Before reading Shakespeare To build background knowledge

6. • Run through the
slideshow in the lesson
• Have pictures ready to
show the word/phrase
versus what it really
means
• At the end of the
lesson, allow them to
use a writing prompt
to practice the newly
learned figurative
languages

7. What About
Universal Design?

8. It Fits!

9. • Provides visual support
which will be a great way to
explain phrases to students
• Allows for practice which
provides all students with
experience
• Each concept will have
verbal examples so each
student can hear the
phrase in a certain context
• The practice slides are
easily manipulated so the
students can see words and
phrases being placed in
their proper place.
