Think about any idioms you might use, where if you really analyzed the actual words, they wouldn’t make much sense, but the big picture means something different. Write anything down that you can think of, and a brief explanation of what it means. The goal is to have you think a bit more critically about phrases that we tend to take for granted. Then, over the three days, pay attention to any idioms you hear. If you hear anything that you’ve already written down, put a check mark next to it. If you hear anything new, add it to you list. At the end of those three days, use those idioms to create a short story to put into your journal. Your goal will be to get as many idioms as possible into the story as you possibly can, and still have it make some sort of sense. The story itself should not be longer than 2 pages.

Answer

idioms are a group of words established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from those of the individual words

Explanation:

rain cats and dogs, see the light

"It's raining cats and dogs"

"The rain is as cold as ice"

"It's so cold, we might be in Antarctica"

"Winter is as freezing as a polar bear's home"

"The sun won't shine until it is a million years later"

These are just some idioms. These include similes and metaphors.

Here's a short story.

Kaleb walked outside. "Oh, Mom, it's raining cats and dogs- how am I going to use my kite?" He shut the door, not letting the rain come in. "Not only that- the rain is as cold as ice. It's 22 degrees!" Kaleb's mom said. "Oh no, this wasn't the right time to buy a kite. Winter is as freezing as a polar bear's home, I hate this so much!" Kaleb said. "Oh, Kaleb, don't be so sad," said Kaleb's dad. "We can find a day, maybe tomorrow. It's windy tomorrow." "Oh, be quiet! It's raining all week! It will also be cold! It's so cold, we might be in Antarctica!" Kaleb's aunt (his dad's side) said. "Oh, man," Kaleb's dad said. Kaleb sighed, and put his kite away. "The sun won't shine until it is a million years later," he said.
