Figurative language

You can use videos or songs to show your students that these devices do not just appear in poems, they can also be found in films or songs....

FREEDOM WRITERS
An inspirational teacher can make a difference to a student, providing guidance and support at a crucial moment in a young person's life.
Erin Gruwell’s passion to become a teacher is soon challenged by a group of Black, Latino, and Asian gangbangers who hate her even more than each other. When Erin begins to listen to them in a way no adult has ever done, she begins to understand that for these kids, getting through the day alive is enough they are not delinquents but teenagers fighting a war of the streets that began long before they were born. Erin gives them something they never had from a teacher before - respect.
