The forecast changes daily and people take to the streets with plates, etc. until one day. . . Writing can be in the form of a weather bulletin. The example is not my idea of a balanced meal. I use this activity to talk about horizon lines, simple perspective, creating shapes to fit a particular space such as a giant slice of pizza draped over the roof of a house, doughnuts looped around a chimney or in piles. Teach metaphors by having children write and illustrate a poem comparing themselves to different items, such as a car, piece of furniture, animal, fruit, or vegetable.
Metaphors connect two different ideas, persons, places, or things.
They make you see things in new ways. Growling at the ringing of the alarm clock, Swatting at the button to make it stop. You won't understand it, and neither will the students. The link that accompanies this activity will send you to the poem and pages of literary discussion that just to look at, not even read, will show that no one really understands it. It is basically about an imaginary conversation with a tiger.
