Our Idiom Comics are Out of this World!

Last week we jumped on the bandwagon and went to town learning all about idioms.

First, we worked with a partner in the computer lab and got our feet wet exploring the following websites to help us discover what idioms are and become familiar with common idioms we might encounter regularly.

• http://www.vocabulary.co.il/idioms/more-idioms/
• Idioms Galore
• http://www.childrensuniversity.manchester.ac.uk/interactives/languages/words/idioms/
• Idioms and their meanings

Then we collaborated with a partner to create an idiom comic on Bitstrips, to illustrate the figurative and literal meanings of idioms.

"Go Fly a Kite" by Isaac and Makaiah

"The Big Cheese" by Logan and Chesnee

"Break a Leg" by Mariah and Joey

"Ants in my Pants" by Chase and Bailey
