Draw a Line

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a learning tool that presents students with a series of sentences, each incorporating a form of figurative language. The task for students is to circle the type of figurative language used in each sentence from the choices given: simile, idiom, metaphor, pun, personification, hyperbole, or onomatopoeia. If a sentence does not use any figurative language, students are instructed to draw a line through all the options, indicating that none apply. The worksheet includes nine sentences for the students to analyze.

The goal of this worksheet is to deepen students’ understanding of various figurative language concepts by having them identify different types in context. It helps them distinguish between similar literary devices and enhances their ability to interpret nuanced meanings in language. By deciding which term best applies to each sentence, students practice critical thinking and analysis. This exercise also prepares students to use these devices in their own writing, enriching their expressive and creative skills.
