Why not use them as an easy gateway to teach your students about literary devices? Our latest Lesson of the Week, contributed by an Indonesia ETA, introduces four different kinds of figurative language: metaphors, similes, personification, and hyperboles, and asks students to evaluate song lyrics to differentiate between the different types. Later, students produce their own lyrics or poetry using the all four kinds of figurative language.
