    Examining the partnership between medical alert dogs and their human companions will highlight the importance of considering the social, emotional, and psychological aspects of living with a chronic condition, promoting a patient-centered approach to healthcare.
  4. Explore Ethical Considerations:
    The training and deployment of medical alert dogs will introduce students to the ethical considerations surrounding animal-assisted interventions, encouraging critical thinking and responsible decision-making.
  5. Encourage Interdisciplinary Collaboration:
    Showcasing the collaborative efforts between healthcare professionals, animal trainers, and researchers in the development of medical alert dog programs will inspire students to embrace the value of teamwork and communication across different fields.

Figurative Language Short Passage | Set 1 | Close Reading | ELA Writing Activity

By Perfectly Planned Designs

This Figurative Language Short Passage Set is a no-prep, printable close reading activity that's perfect for middle school and high school. This is a 205-word passage filled with 14 examples of figurative language, such as hyperbole, metaphor, simile, and personification. I’ve found that although my students can tell me the definition of these terms, simile is the only one they can truly pick out in a text. As a result, their writing is filled with overused similes that need work! This figurative language passage set is rigorous, uses higher-level words and phrases, and in addition to merely identifying the different types, students will be asked to discuss the impact it has on the reader, as they’re asked to do on standardized testing. Check out my other figurative language passage sets HERE!

Simply print and go! There is truly no preparation needed, which is why this set is perfect to leave for sub plans, bell ringers, homework, test prep, review or assessment!

*As an optional review activity, use my No-prep Four Corners Figurative Language Activity resource for a fun whole-group game, then use this passage set for assessment!

Activity:
Students can complete all three worksheets as part of a packet, but I suggest using one each day. If you teach allusion, alliteration, idiom, or onomatopoeia, you can ask students to include those in Task 2 where they will be asked to continue the passage using a similar writing style. I have left some blanks on the checklist for this very purpose.

Reflection:
The class can review the answers and comments as a whole group when the activity is complete. You’ll be surprised how much better they’ll get at figurative language after being exposed to some high-quality examples!
