Hello 5th Grade. Below, click the link to see some examples of what we are working on... https://kidskonnect.com/language/figurative-language/

You are inventing your own business! Now, we need a poster to advertise it. You've got to use an example of FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE in your poster. You can make up all the info...the name, the address, (don't put a phone number, we don't want people calling it!! :) Your name should go on the back. I don't want your name on the front, it looks more authentic if you don't have your name on it. The one exception is if your business name has YOUR name. For example "John's Classic Cars."
