Metaphorically Speaking

A metaphor is a comparison. We use it everyday when we write and speak. Using metaphors when we write makes us look really smart because it shows we can compare two things creatively. The key thing to remember about metaphors is that they don't use the words like or as. Let's build a database of metaphors we can all use on our blog. Here are some examples.

When Mary was really good at playing X games we could say - Mary is a calculator.

When the wind blew the other day we could say/write - The pine tree danced in the breeze.

If you are really good at science you could write - Penelope is Einstein.

Your blog comment today will be metaphors that you will create. Add five metaphors like these to our blog in your comment under your teacher's name today. We'll give you some starters to help you with this assignment. When we finish, we'll have the biggest resource for writing metaphors that our school has ever had!
