Exploring Idioms: Understanding Expressions Beyond Words

This lesson focuses on understanding idioms, expressions that convey meanings different from their literal interpretation. We will start with a warm-up discussing what idioms are and share examples. Students will read a variety of idioms from a provided book and interpret their meanings. The lesson includes an illustrative activity where students will choose an idiom, interpret its meaning, and illustrate its literal interpretation. For instance, "It's raining cats and dogs" means it's raining heavily. Let's dive into the colorful world of idiomatic expressions!
