“Zlateh the Goat” contains figurative language, including personification and similes. In this activity, students can display their understanding of figurative language by identifying examples, and creating a literal or figurative portrayal of the figurative language.
| DESCRIPTION | EXAMPLE | |
|---|---|---|
| Personification | Giving human-like characteristics to non-human objects or abstract ideas | The wind whistled, howled, whirled the snow about in eddies. It looked as if white imps were playing tag on the fields. The moon swam in the sky as in a sea. |
| Simile | A comparison using 'like' or 'as' | The wind became as cold as ice. |
