Lesson outline: After looking at some examples and discussing them, students then analyse Walter De la Mare’s poem ‘The Fly’ and explore how the similes/metaphors used to describe everyday objects successfully convey their size. For homework (or in class) students then write their own poem from this unique perspective and must incorporate their own similes and metaphors. Finally, I have also included a reflection task so that students can consider the choices they made and what they hoped to exaggerate or emphasise through their own imagery.
