This teaching slides resource introduces figurative language and explores how authors use it to create vivid images, stronger emotions and more interesting ideas. The slides cover what figurative language is, then work through each type — metaphors, similes, personification, idioms, imagery and emotive vocabulary, and hyperbole — with a definition and examples for each.
Practice slides give students the chance to apply their understanding through a range of task types, using a consistent I Do/We Do structure for modelled writing tasks.
