Description: This set of 12 digital task cards allows your students to practice identifying similes and metaphors IN CONTEXT, as they are excerpted from the popular novel, I Survived the Great Molasses Flood, 1919, by Lauren Tarshis. Students read each excerpt and select the correct figurative language device from two multiple-choice options. An audio prompt of the difference between a simile and metaphor is embedded within each card. This would be perfect as a formative and summative assessment! NOTE: Students DO NOT have to be familiar with the text to work with this resource. Yours in Literacy, Sheila ☺
