Hi, my name is Mary Howard and I am the creator of this webquest. I currently teach English Language Arts and Social Studies to sixth grade students in Grand Island, New York. I have been a teacher for 8 years and truly love what I do. Some of my strengths include working with technology and facilitating the integration of technology into the classroom.

I created this webquest in an effort to allow students to explore the MANY types of figurative language there are out there in a fun and interactive way. We spend a great deal of time in ELA class sifting through books. This new generation of students will spend MOST of their time sifting through online sources. This Webquest is just one more step in that direction.
