Lesson Objectives

• Define "idiom" and distinguish its figurative meaning from the literal.
• Identify idioms in literature, specifically through a read-aloud activity using "More Parts" by Tedd Arnold.

3. Read-Aloud Activity: Use "More Parts" to highlight idioms in a humorous context. Discuss the meaning behind idioms like "I'll bet that broke your heart" or "He nearly jumped out of his skin."
4. Class Collaboration: Brainstorm a list of idioms students know, compiling them into a classroom chart.
5. Creative Closure: Have students pick a favorite idiom, illustrate its literal and figurative meanings, and present their work.
