will be used for the activity. After we have reviewed, I will allow students to
choose partners for the next part of the lesson. (15 minutes)
Students will be given the lyrics to Royals by Lorde, and they will highlight
examples of literary devices within the text. Students will find examples of
alliteration, assonance, metaphors, similes, etc. and share with their partners.
Students will write down their rationale for why what was highlighted is
considered a literary device. students will compare and contrast their findings
with peers. students will later determine the authors point of view and
purpose based on evidence presented in the text. (25 minutes)

putting their thumbs up (understand and ready to move on), thumbs down
(do not understand at all), or thumbs to the side (I understand somewhat, but
Im still a little confused). If students put their thumbs down or to the side, I
will pull them aside and work independently with them for a few minutes
before they begin the group activity. This will give me the opportunity to work
with my student(s) in a small group setting to see what concept my students
are struggling with.

The students are expected to determine the meanings of words and phrases
that are used in any given text. Afterwards, students are expected to analyze
the effect and impact that figurative language has on a text. Students should
also be able to determine the authors point of view throughout the text and
explain how it is conveyed in a text.
Students will demonstrate their understanding of figurative language
vocabulary by correctly identifying the use of similes, metaphors, alliteration,
assonance, allegories, allusions, hyperboles, irony, imagery, onomatopoeia,
oxymoron, rhyme, rhyme scheme, setting, symbol, theme, and tone.
Students will demonstrate their knowledge of the syntax and discourse by
speaking with peers about the types of figurative language that has been
discovered in the text.

For this lesson, I will be implementing one main piece of technology. I will be
using my computer (along with the overhead projector) to present the
PowerPoint presentation that will include the types of figurative language that
will need to be found. The computer will also be used to play the song during
the class period.
