Metaphors - Week 2

4/14/2016

0 Comments

 
This week, the students examined metaphors in Billy Collins's poem "The Introduction to Poetry."
We learned how the term 'metaphor' can be looked at in a broader sense. Other types of figurative language are actually metaphors, too. 

We watched this video to explore this topic of metaphors.

Here is another quick video that sums up metaphors and how we use them in our everyday lives.

Keep your eyes peeled for metaphors in your daily interactions, and for those found in the books and poems you read.
