Identifying Figurative Language Worksheet is a practical and meaningful way for students to identify figurative language within poetry.

Three different poems range in difficulty for students to read, then using the key they have created, students are to go through and identify the different figurative language they can see within the poem. The figurative language key included in this worksheet is simile, metaphor, imagery, personification, alliteration, and onomatopoeia as well as blank keys.

This worksheet would be an introduction to figurative language, working through identifying it as a class and having discussions around it. Identifying Figurative Language would also be a great assessment of student knowledge of figurative language.
