This lesson is designed to support student understanding of hyperbole. It starts with a quick spiral warm up on blends, followed by explicit instruction on hyperbole.
The two instructional blocks in this lesson focus on identifying and explaining hyperbole in a passage. The first instructional block helps students identify hyperbole both in isolation (through a sort), and in a passage.
The second instructional block focuses on being able to explain what a hyperbole actually means.
Passages are intentionally built throughout the lesson to support deeper understanding and put their learning into context.
