Idioms Worksheet and Activity Set 2

Product description

From the author

The four-page PDF contains a 12-item idiom-to-meaning matching worksheet, a blank literal/figurative organizer, the matching answer key and a written piece-of-cake example. The example describes possible pictures rather than supplying completed illustrations.

After matching meanings, students choose an idiom, illustrate its literal and figurative interpretations and explain what it means. Use the model for discussion before students complete their own organizer.
