Teaching Figurative Language with Taylor Swift Songs - Grades 3-6
If there’s one thing I love about Taylor Swift (other than her dance moves!) it is her use of figurative language. If you have ever listened to her songs you know she uses a lot of similes and metaphors in her writing. She is a major pop star today, and I guarantee your students can (and will!) sing along to any one of her songs! With this product you will be able to teach and have your students practice identifying and writing seven types of figurative language using Taylor Swift songs.
