Just Talking Figuratively By – Christopher Rudolph © 2013  

Alliteration makes your tongue tingle too
Personification makes the wind howl and coo
Hyperbole will grant your wish
You’ll have no problem catching a million fish
Now, I’m just talking figuratively
So, please don’t take me literally

Alliteration makes squirrels skip and skate
Personification makes your alarm clock irate
Hyperbole lets you have some fun
You’ll be so strong you can lift a ton
Now, I’m just talking figuratively
So, please don’t take me literally

Alliteration lets you eat pink peach pie
Personification lets stars dance across the sky
Hyperbole lets you whistle a sweet tune
You can go where you want even fly to the moon
Now, I’m just talking figuratively
So, please don’t take me literally

Alliteration lets you twist, tumble, and tuck
Personification lets you talk to a crazy duck
Hyperbole lets you do more still
You’ll grow older than those big old hills
Now, I’m just talking figuratively
So, please don’t take me literally

Alliteration makes my stomach roar, roll, and rumble
Personification makes the thunder grumble
Hyperbole is exaggeration of course
You’ll be so hungry you’ll eat a horse
Now, I’m just talking figuratively
So, please don’t take me literally

Alliteration makes you try, try, try
Personification makes the sad clouds cry
Hyperbole will help you make rhymes
I think I‘ve told you this a million times
Now, I’m just talking figuratively
So, please don’t take me literally

Science Vocabulary Desk Boy Loves Studying Vocabulary!

Mastering science vocabulary is crucial for students in grades K-8 to excel in their science education and lays the foundation for understanding complex concepts and communicating effectively about scientific phenomena. To enhance their proficiency in science terminology, students can engage in various activities such as completing science vocabulary crosswords, word searches, and quizzes. Crossword puzzles offer an interactive and engaging way for students to reinforce their understanding of science vocabulary. By filling in the blanks with the correct terms, students actively recall and apply the meanings of scientific terms, promoting retention and comprehension. Word searches provide another enjoyable method for students to familiarize themselves with science vocabulary. Searching for terms horizontally, vertically, and diagonally within a grid encourages visual recognition of words and reinforces spelling. Quizzes serve as valuable assessment tools to gauge students’ grasp of science vocabulary. By regularly engaging in science vocabulary activities such as crosswords, word searches, and quizzes, students can develop a robust scientific vocabulary that will benefit them throughout their academic journey and beyond. These activities not only enhance students’ comprehension of science concepts but also improve their ability to communicate effectively about scientific topics. Moreover, the interactive nature of these activities makes learning enjoyable and encourages active participation in the learning process.
