Anticipatory Set/Hook:

This lesson will take place in the computer lab.

Ask, What is figurative language? Think about it for a minute and then tell your
shoulder partner what you think. I will call on a few people to share. Give
students a minute to think and talk to their shoulder partners. Walk around the
room in order to listen for correct responses and then call on a couple of students
to answer.

Procedure:
1. Say, Today you are going to be learning the many types of figurative language.

In order to do so, youll be watching two videos and answering questions on

Educanon. The first video will define the types of figurative language. You should
be paying close attention and answering the questions carefully because the
second video will be a graded quiz.
2. Instruct students to go to Educanon.com and sign in. Their usernames are their
last names with etc447 after. For example, if the students last name is
Schroeder, the username is: schroederetc447
3. Every students password is: etc447
4. Instruct students to first choose the video assignment Figurative Language
Review and to begin. The video should be completed individually and with

headphones.
5. When students are finished with the first video, instruct them to complete the
second video assignment Figurative Language in Music. Remind them that this
is a graded quiz and should be completed individually as well.
6. Allow students enough time to complete both video assignments.
