Review Figurative Language

Draw

Match the figure of speech with the correct definition:

imagery

is when writers use words to create pictures, or images, in the minds of readers. It helps readers imagine how things look, feel, smell, taste, or sound.

onomatopeia

is when words sound like the noises they describe. For example, "buzz" sounds like the noise a bee makes, and "splash" sounds like something falling into water.

visualizing

means making pictures in your mind based on what you read. It's like creating a movie in your head using the words from a book.

simile

is a figure of speech that compares two things using the words "like" or "as." For example, "The clouds were fluffy like cotton candy" is a simile because it compares clouds to cotton candy using the word "like."

rhythm

is the pattern of beats or sounds in speech or writing. It's like a musical beat that helps make writing sound smooth and flow nicely when read aloud.

repetition

is when words, phrases, or sounds are repeated for emphasis or to create a certain effect. It's like when you hear a catchy song with a chorus that repeats several times.
