=**__ Language Arts Lesson: Personification __**=

This reading lesson involves the students identifying figurative language in the form of personification in their readings. This lesson is designed for a whole class lesson. The lesson primarily focuses on personification in prose, however, it does devote time to discussing personification in poetry. For the lesson, the teacher will use __The Giving Tree__ by Shel Silverstein as the primary example of personification. As the teacher reads the book, he or she will pause and point out specific examples of personification. The teacher will also show the students several different examples of personification from familiar picture books (Click, Clack, Moo, Cows that Type, Stuart Little, If you give a Pig a Pancake, and Alexander and the Wind Up Mouse) to poetry by Jack Prelutsky. After the initial introduction and discussion of personification, the teacher will display several sentences on a piece of chart paper. The students and the teacher will read each sentence and decide if the sentence is an example of personification. The students will then complete their assessment as independent practice. This assessment involves the students reading sentences on their own and determining if the sentences are using personification or not.
