Fun with Idioms
October 9th, 2008 by Mr. Armitage No comments »
An idiom is a group of words which, when used together, has a different meaning from the one which the individual words have.
For example, “Jason was bent out of shape when he saw that his car was stolen.” “Bent out of shape” does not mean that he actually changed shape. It meant that he was very mad.
Challenge: Go to this list of idioms and then to ToonDoo and make your own idiom comic. Here’s another example. Post the URL for your comic in the comments.
