Description
A metaphor occurs when two things are compared without the words 'like' or 'as'.
Task: Students will read and analyze a poem that uses an extended metaphor to describe life. Then they will create their own metaphors, share them with the class, and extend one into a full poem.
Students start with Mother to Son by Langston Hughes and answer 6 analytical questions. Next, students work on Extended Metaphors and extended exercises.
