Figurative Language Sub Plan, Grades 6-8: Device Hunt (No Prep)

"My stomach was a washing machine on spin." "When the coach read the list at four o'clock, my name glowed on the list like a neon sign." Students read a 14-line poem called Tryout Day, about a student at basketball tryouts, and hunt for the lines that are not meant word for word. Ten of its lines hold a figure of speech.
