This resource focuses on the language technique metaphor. The worksheet begins with an information box which explains the technique, gives an example and explains its effect. This is followed by a range of activities which build in complexity through the two-page worksheet. Activities include identifying the characteristics suggested by particular metaphors, creating metaphors from selected word combinations, and a study of extended metaphors through a brief study of Robert Frost’s Road Not Taken.
The PowerPoint is designed to accompany the worksheet and includes examples of metaphor in a well-known pop song as well as sample answers for some of the worksheet tasks.
This resource is suitable for a high school audience. The worksheet is included in both Word and pdf formats to ensure no loss of detail.
