| figurative language for kids: Dreamers Yuyi Morales, 2018-09-04 We are resilience. We are hope. We are dreamers. Yuyi Morales brought her hopes, her passion, her strength, and her stories with her, when she came to the United States in 1994 with her infant son. She left behind nearly everything she owned, but she didn't come empty-handed. From the author-illustrator of Bright Star, Dreamers is a celebration of making your home with the things you always carry: your resilience, your dreams, your hopes and history. It's the story of finding your way in a new place, of navigating an unfamiliar world and finding the best parts of it. In dark times, it's a promise that you can make better tomorrows. This lovingly-illustrated picture book memoir looks at the myriad gifts migrantes bring with them when they leave their homes. It's a story about family. And it's a story to remind us that we are all dreamers, bringing our own strengths wherever we roam. Beautiful and powerful at any time but given particular urgency as the status of our own Dreamers becomes uncertain, this is a story that is both topical and timeless. The lyrical text is complemented by sumptuously detailed illustrations, rich in symbolism. Also included are a brief autobiographical essay about Yuyi's own experience, a list of books that inspired her (and still do), and a description of the beautiful images, textures, and mementos she used to create this book.

The four different types of sentences (imperative, declarative, interrogative, and exclamatory) will also be studied, and students will be able to differentiate between sentences written in the first person, second person, and third person. In addition, easy-to-understand definitions, examples, and colorful illustrations are provided to familiarize students with the terms personification, onomatopoeia, simile, metaphor, hyperbole, idiom, irony, oxymoron, acronym, antonym, and synonym. Moreover, students will learn how to distinguish between the often-confused words homonyms, homophones, homographs, and heteronyms. (Note that the pages that teach these language terms also provide the correct pronunciation and that there is a pronunciation guide included in the book.) Besides the terms mentioned above, students will learn when can should be used in a sentence in place of may and when I should be used in place of me. Several reproducible worksheets and a practice test are also available for individual practice, to assess student learning, or for a teacher to use for direct instruction purposes on the classroom screen. The practice test is included towards the end of the book and is also available online as a computer-based test. You can access the test free of charge by visiting the website of Habakkuk Educational Materials.
