Module 7: How do I love thee?

The above video is a powerpoint that plays with the idea of students giving their writing a "makeover' in order to give it style and make it more attractive to their intended audience. Students will gain an understanding of how different types of figurative language (simile, metaphor, personification, hyperbole, and onomatopoeia) add sensory appeal to their writing. More than just learning the definitions of the terms discussed, students will see the importance of figurative language and why it is useful when trying to capture the audience's attention. Using art and technology to teach this concept helps engage the students and stimulates those who are primarily visual learners.
