Description
🎒 Back to School Figurative Language Boom Deck | Grades 5–6 Start the school year with targeted figurative language practice using short, back-to-school-themed sentences and poems. This self-checking Boom Deck helps students interpret figurative language in context and explain how language choices affect meaning, setting, and tone. Students practice similes, metaphors, idioms, adages, proverbs, hyperbole, personification, imagery, alliteration, onomatopoeia, and sound devices. The deck also includes practice with distinguishing the speaker from the poet in short poems. This deck is designed as practice or review after students have been introduced to figurative language. A definition/reference card is included to support students before they begin. Each question encourages students to use context clues, focus on the key phrase, and choose the answer that best explains the meaning or effect of the language. 🎧 Audio Support Included: Audio is included for each sentence or poem. This supports developing readers, ESL/ELL students, and students who benefit from hearing the text read aloud. 💬 Best for: ✅ Grade 5, 6 ✅ Grade 7 review or intervention ✅ Advanced Grade 4 with support ✅ ESL/ELL learners at CEFR B2 level, strong CEFR B1 learners with support 📦 What’s Included: ✅ definition/reference cards ✅ 16 practice cards ✅ Back-to-school sentences and short poems ✅ Four multiple-choice answers per card ✅ Self-checking format ✅ Sentence and poem audio included
