Another type of figurative language students enjoy working with is personification. Personification is when human-like qualities are given to non-living things. It is a great way for students to describe what they are saying in their writings. They become so creative when demonstrating the use of personifications. It really paints a vivid picture in readers minds. We have writing folders that the students use which are compiled with various tools to help students when writing, called Writing Tool Kits. Often I come across figurative language so unique I have the students record them in their tool kits for future use.

The tree's limb seemed to wave goodbye as we evacuated our home during the storm.
I was so tired I could hear my bed calling my name.
My stomach was telling me it was time for a snack.
The time ran quickly as I tried to finish my exam.
