This Thanksgiving themed mystery picture is a great way to review figurative language. This is a great way to keep students engaged. The students will identify sentences as being examples of simile, metaphor, personification, hyperbole, idiom, analogy, and symbolism. These are all academic vocabulary terms that they must know in order to answer questions on state tests. The students can verify that their answers are correct by coloring the picture according to the key. I find mystery pictures help students stay actively engaged in a lesson, especially right before they go on a holiday break. My middle school students, including my 8th graders, ask me to make more of these. They tell me, "Mrs. Harnish, we love doing these. Some teachers forget that we are still kids." Here is the link if you are interested.
