What's the difference between an allegory and an alligator? Fifth graders work with malapropisms to determine the meanings of words that sound alike. Five sentences challenge them to find the malapropism and change it to the correct word, while the last activity prompts kids to write the meanings of the incorrect words. An added bonus: your class will be able to define allegory when they finish!
