Building Comprehension:When explaining to your students what figurative language is, it is importantto start with a working definition of literal language. Literal language refers toa phrase or sentence that is to be taken at face value to mean exactly what itsays. For example, if a sentence reads, "He went outside the box," thatmeans the man was in a box and went outside of that area to another space.Figurative language means using words to imply another meaning or toevoke an emotion. Going back to the previous example, "He went outsidethe box," the sentence would have a whole different meaning if takenfiguratively. By interpreting "He went outside the box," figuratively, thesentence means that the person used his imagination and creativity to solvea problem. So, the same sentence can have completely different meaningswhen taken either literally or figuratively.Comprehension Skill Questions:1. What are the characteristics of this poem?
