@iamthatenglishteacher: In a recent lesson, we explored the idiom “leave a stink on you,” which was used by one of the characters in a novel by Walter Dean Myers. This idiom suggests that someone’s reputation or actions can leave a lasting negative impression, similar to the way a skunk’s odor lingers long after it’s sprayed. I compared this to the skunk analogy, helping students understand how a bad decision or a harmful association can “stick” to someone, affecting how others perceive them. This lesson was an opportunity for students to reflect on how their actions and the people they surround themselves with can shape their own reputations, both positively and negatively. #IdiomsExplained #FigurativeLanguage #WalterDeanMyers #ELAinAction #TeachingIdioms #figurativelanguage #MiddleSchoolELA #ELAWithMsJames #CreativeELA #CriticalThinkingSkills #ELALessonIdeas #leaveastinkonyou #idiom
