We are continuing with figurative language in my literacy class this week. I created a few entrance and exit slips for them over the past few weeks. I just made an entrance slip for personification. As I brainstormed on the topic(s) I would use to review this skill, I noticed in my school bag a set of freebies I got at the French Lick Spring Blogger meet-up (#springteacherbloggermeetup2015). They are a bag of small (1-inch) weather cut-outs. My students will choose one of the weather cut-outs. They can choose from a cloud, a rain drop, a lightning bolt, a sunshine, a snowflake, or a group of rain clouds. They will glue the cut-out to the strip of paper, then write a personification sentence adding a human characteristic (or comment) to the type of weather they choose. This should give me a quick view of who can apply their knowledge of personification to non-human objects! Easy-peasy!
Click here or on the picture below to download the Weather Personification entrance slips! Leave a comment for me letting me know if it is something that will be useful to you, or if you have better ideas or suggestions as to how I can improve them (or just add to them!).
Thanks and have a great spring week! Don't forget to add your link and comment on a few other bloggers' Sunday Scoop posts! :)
I have to say... I laughed out loud a little when I saw that you're getting a new blog design! As soon as your blog loaded, I fell it love! I think this design is LOVELY! Great colors and integration of YOUR personality! If you're upgrading, I cannot wait to see it! :)
ReplyDeleteI really like your personification activity. Super cute and I bet the kids just love it!
Enjoy your week!
All my best,

Oh Tiffany, no! :) This IS my new blog design! The night I wrote the post, Alexis Sanchez (Laugh Eat Learn - my AMAZING blog designer!!!) was putting the finishing touches on it. It was literally changing that night! :) (It was horrible before -overlapping designs, bad fonts, mixed up colors - ugh!)
ReplyDeleteI am doing a giveaway this Friday and Alexis is participating! If you like her stuff, check back on Friday and you could win some of her amazing stuff, and a little of mine too ;).
Thank you for your sweet comments! And yes, my kiddos loved the personification stuff! They are such good writers - it's only taken me all year to get them to realize it!! :)
Have a great week!
