Teachers, save “Figurative Language: Personification” to assign it to your class.

Open the Slides in the Directions Listen to the Learning Target Watch the Quick Explainer video Watch the Personification video Experience the music video (just for fun). Core concepts: Personification meaning using human-like (person) characteristics or actions to describe the way a non-human object is behaving. It helps paint a clearer and more interesting picture in the reader's mind. On the Student Template (4 pages) Page 1: Human Characteristics Listen to the directions and/or watch the video example in the upper right corner. Then, closely examine the illustrations. Double tap on the labels above each illustration and place a human characteristic in each label to describe the image. Past tense verbs work great (they usually end in -ed). Page 2: Black Box of Matches Drag the hidden pictures from the non-human and human boxes out to the white work area. Match a non-human picture with a human picture. Circle the matches with a pen and then explain your matches using the microphone. Page 3: Visualization Read and/or listen to each sentence. Then, using the creative tools, illustrate the personification in the box below the sentence to the best of your ability. Page 4: Personification Practice Complete each sentence with a personification of your choice. Remember, using past tense verbs that end in -ed can be helpful as long as that word is something that is normally done by a person. Submit your best work
