1st lesson:
Understanding what an idiom is and its role in learning a language
Introduction (5 minutes)
The teacher explains students that today they will be working with
figurative language.
 The teacher explains students that figurative language is a word or phrase
that does not have its normal, literal meaning.
 The teacher tells students that writers use figurative language to make
comparisons, and to help the reader create a more vivid picture of the text.
 The teacher asks students to describe a time when someone used a word or
saying to describe something that was different from the word's literal, or
normal, everyday, meaning.
 The teacher elicit from students a few examples of metaphors, similes, or
idioms/sayings in their mother tongue and explains that these language
devices exist also in other languages.
 The teacher tells students that today’s lesson will be ”A PIECE OF
CAKE”!
