This resource focuses on the concept of metaphors, guiding students to understand their meaning and identification in language. It starts by defining a metaphor as a direct comparison between two unlike things without using 'like' or 'as'. Students will learn to translate metaphors into literal language and articulate the deeper meanings behind specific word choices. The document includes guided practice with sample phrases, allowing students to analyze and deconstruct metaphors. Additionally, there are independent practice activities where students can explore and demonstrate their understanding of metaphors through various creative options such as drawing, poetry writing, and song lyric analysis. Finally, an exit ticket prompts students to reflect on the metaphorical comparison of school to a marathon, encouraging them to think critically about the characteristics shared between the two.
