This resource is designed to help learners understand the concept of metaphors, which are figures of speech that make direct comparisons between two unlike things without using the words 'like' or 'as'. The document provides various activities aimed at identifying, analyzing, and creating metaphors. It starts by introducing the definition of metaphors with examples to illustrate their use. Learners are encouraged to spot metaphors in sentences, unpack their meanings by explaining the comparisons, categorize different types of metaphors, and evaluate their effectiveness. Further, it features exercises on creating original metaphors and improving weak ones. The resource culminates in a real-world metaphor hunt, where students find and analyze metaphors from songs, ads, or conversations, allowing them to apply what they've learned in a practical context.
