Figurative language can be a challenge for ELLs and many little learners. By allowing students to create visuals, they are able to scaffold their learning by matching an image with how they interpret the figurative language. This technique allows you to formatively check their learning without them in fear that they didn't get it right the first time.

Wonderful!
