We began our creative writing unit by exploring the difference between figurative and literal language.
We walked this through using the simple setting of the your bedrooms.
First, I asked you to describe your bedroom using only literal language.
We then talked about some of the common language features you use when describing something figuratively. They were:
Personification
Metaphor
Simile
After this, I asked you to describe your bedroom using figurative language and phrases.
