I've had the book My Teacher Likes to Say for a few years and love to use it when I'm teaching expressive language and writing quotations.
If you haven't seen it or its companion book, My Momma Likes to Say, click on my Amazon Associate links below to check them out.
I have finally made some activities to go with the book and am sharing one of them here. This one targets writing quotations correctly, but you could require the students to use expressive or figurative language when writing their quotations.
