We are a robotics team from Fort McMurray, Alberta. We are dedicated to educating our generation on poetry terms and figurative language.
Figurative language is used everyday. While having the ability to differentiate between personification and onomatopoeia might seem insignificant, understanding figurative language is a crucial part of having strong literacy skills. Now you're probably thinking, "why should I care".
Literacy is more than just a simple reading ability; it is an indication of how we use written information to function in the world around us. Not only do strong literacy skills enable us to read, understand, and use information, they significantly impact good jobs, decent incomes, and advancement opportunities.
We want to know how we can improve the way someone learns poetry terms /figurative language. We targeted grades 7-9. As we noticed that they all learn figurative language. This website has different ways to learn, some people learn visually so we have videos and some learn hands-on so we have games. We even have random pictures all over the website that explain a figure os speech! While others just learn by reading the information so we included that too!
