How To Use These Figurative Language Bell Ringers and Task Cards:

Finding Figurative Language Friday: Distribute the bell-ringer booklet to your students at the start of the year. Introduce one of the paragraphs to your class per week for 45 weeks as bell ringers. Students will label the figurative language independently (or in groups or pairs). Then, use the PowerPoint slides to review it together as a class.
Writing/Reading Centers: Include a packet of task cards at a center where students can choose which paragraphs to complete. The work can be done on the task card or using the work booklet. Print 6 slides per page of the PowerPoint answer keys and keep it in a booklet for students to check their work when they have completed their work.

Pair or Group Work: Give each pair or small group of students a task card and have them complete it collaboratively. Then, each pair or group can present the paragraph to the class and share what figurative language and literary devices they found. The class can provide further suggestions.

What Teachers Are Saying About These Figurative Language Bell Ringers:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I use a lot of different things for bellwork/bell ringers. I switch out every five weeks or so with skills that range from vocabulary, writing strategy reviews, grammar, and different literature skills. My students cannot wait until we rotate back to this. It's fun and it reviews figurative language that we sometimes don't have time to in our normal class time.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I introduced these into our daily bell work routine about 2 months before state testing. These were great practice to help students review figurative language and how to identify it in a passage. I will definitely use them next year as well.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My students became really good at identifying the different types of figurative language in the passages. And the passages are highly engaging. Love this so much I'm using it again this year!
