In this unit, third grade students will learn how to use words and phrases as they are used in a text. The students may nd this lesson challenging in determining the di erence from literal and non-literal language. The concept may be hard to understand and identify the di erence in a story because stories can use di erent words for meaning. Students will have learning experiences through digital ELA activities/games, a in class play/show, reading of stories/books, grouped anchor charts, and writing our own stories using literal and non-literal language. These activities allow for both technology and nontechnology-based materials. All of these activities will allow students to fully understand the di erence between literal and non-literal language. Knowledge of text and this language will let students be able to apply the words and phrases learning in writing and reading text. In writing, it is important to use phrases that will capture the attention of the reader and in using non-literal and literal text the reader will be interested in the text more. People outside of the school setting tend to use non-literal text as well in speaking and so knowing a non-literal expression will allow for the person listening to follow the conversation. Knowledge of text make it easier to distinguish literal from non-literal language in writing, reading, and speaking.
