This lesson plan for similes and metaphors definitely enhances students knowledge of the difference between the two. Students can work together and have fun while learning. The songs or raps can also be used as teaching tools for other students. They could listen to the other raps and identify which comparison is a simile and which is a metaphor.

This plan is especially effective for students who are visual learners. It stipulates that students create a collage that shows main themes of a story. They will include imagery and key words as well as the name of the story and the author. The students would then present their collage to the class and demonstrate how it describes the story. This form of student-teaching-student education helps both the student that is explaining it and the student that is learning the information.

This lesson plan is really effective because students are able to have fun with a short story that they read. This plan gives a specific example for the story, but it can be applied to many other stories, and it engages the students and draws them into the tale. By giving them a personal experience involving the story, they will better remember the material and the characters.

My Three Favorite Teaching Resource Websites
1. http://www.lessonplanspage.com/LAJH.htm
This website is part of Hot Chalk, and it provides a vast list of potential lesson plans for High School Language Arts teachers. It covers different sections of Language Arts teaching, and even has sections that relate the work to the students' other classes.
2. http://www.teach-nology.com/tutorials/
This website has a number of different articles about new technology that teachers can use, and it also gives instructions on that technology. It is a website for teachers that is written by other teachers, so there is a large amount of credibility and evidence that the technology is useful in the classroom.
3. http://www.teachertube.com/
Teachertube is another great resource because I can find educational videos that are appropriate for my students and relate to our subject. I can create my own videos or I can use videos that other teachers post.
