Original PromptFor the novella, The Pearl, create a figurative language sort using sentences from chapter 2. Have students Identify figurative language
This learning resource focuses on identifying and categorizing five types of figurative language—simile, metaphor, personification, imagery, and hyperbole—found in Chapter 2 of John Steinbeck's 'The Pearl.' Students are provided with definitions and examples to help them recognize these devices within the text. The resource includes a 'worked example' to illustrate how to analyze quotes from the chapter, as well as a preparatory section directing students to look for figurative language while reading. An interactive part encourages students to craft their own imagery related to the themes of the ocean and the pearl. A metacognitive check follows, allowing students to assess their confidence in identifying the various types of figurative language.
