We are now focusing on the use of figurative language in our poetry to bring emotion and feeling to our writing. Please refer to the poems “Aunt Leaf” on p.790-791 (similes), “Fog” on p.792, and “Life” on p.793 (both extended metaphors).
Here are the guidelines for our next poem “Family Metaphor” (See samples on last 2 slides of Powerpoint):
*Write an extended metaphor for your family.
*Choose an object or a unit to compare your family to.
*Include and describe each member of your family (can include pets) with a metaphor and supporting details
*Type and illustrate!
