Metaphor Writing
By Kate Elliott | Posted: Wednesday March 28, 2018
It’s like having a pen pal class, but we didn’t know anything about them. Along with that, we completed a poster that contains: a class picture, our favourite words, our talents and many more interesting things. Soon, we will receive a poster and postcards from our pen pal class.
We had to write descriptive sentences that contained a metaphor to explain us. For example, if you were a vehicle, what type of vehicle would you be? So then we would write our answer as a metaphor. We had to use descriptive vocabulary and we decorated the postcards as well. Room 23 came up with some really good metaphors. The different metaphor topics were: vehicle, sandwich, tree, something in the community and a clothing item. I wrote two postcards and picked the sandwich and vehicle metaphor.
I really enjoyed writing the poem as we got to really think about descriptive ways to describe ourselves. It was a great chance to help us construct better sentences, increase our vocabulary and help us learn how to use metaphors in our writing. It’s really exciting to think that, soon, I’ll be able to read about someone else I have never met before and they will find out about me. Each postcard joins together to form the quote,‘Every person is a new door to a different world’. This is a metaphor and I think it represents humans really well and relates to the activity we are doing as we do not know about the person we are writing to, and they don’t know about us.
I think Room 23 are really looking forward to seeing what class we’ll get and what we will learn about them!
Check out our photos to see our postcards, and class poster!!
