Metaphors

We have been learning about metaphors in Pod 4. A metaphor is when you describe something at the same time as something else. Like saying it sounded like there was a herd of elephants in the room when there really wasn't.

  1. Check your "herd of elephants". Do you think it could be a simile, an idiom or a metaphor? Is there a clue? There's a challenge...

  2. Wow Pod 4 what fantastic metaphors!! What a great idea to write metaphors about yourselves!! I love the descriptive language you have used and I could see today when I was in your class that everyone is really excited about writing metaphors, I'm sure Mrs Leydon will be very impressed as well!
