Resource Collection Effective Writing
Explore the use of metaphors with pupils using the activities in this resource pack, allowing them to investigate the use of figurative language, in this case metaphors, to describe a city landscape.
Metaphors are often used in poetry and narratives for effect to add description and create a vivid image for the reader by describing something as something else. Pupils can use the image cards to create metaphors to describe a city. Sentence and phrase cards containing metaphors are also included to provide modelled examples for the pupils.
A metaphor is a figure of speech where you say one thing (figuratively) is another thing.
