Idiom-of-the-day - version 4 (61-80)


The idiom of the day PPTs allow students to follow along each day of the school year with the Idiom of the Day Graphic Organizer (available as a free download). Each PPT download contains 20 idioms in alphabetical order.

Each of the 20 slides contains:
*Relevant visual
*Idiom
*Example of the idiom used in a sentence in proper context
*Meaning of the idiom
*Origin and approximate date of the idiom

Suggestions for implementation:
Idiom, Example, Meaning, Origin are all revealed one click at a time
Reveal the idiom and give students think-time before calling on hands to see who knows the meaning
Depending on grade level, revealing the example used in a sentence might give the idiom enough context for students to determine the meaning
Daily, have students write the idiom, their own example, and the meaning on the Idiom-of-the-day Graphic Organizer
