 Put
this list of common Idioms in the
Handout section of your binder to refer
back to
 You
will choose some Idioms to do on your
own
 On the front write the idiom and illustrate it
 On the back write the literal meaning (what
it really means)
 ** Make sure you know the real meaning**
 Example: I
paid an arm and a leg for that toy.
Write this on the front and then draw a picture
of giving an arm and a leg in exchange for a
toy. On the back I’d write the real meaning
which is I paid a lot of money for that toy.
