Metaphore

LI: to understand what a metaphor is and how we use them in writing.

This week for writing, we have been focusing on writing and using abstract nouns in poems. For this task, we wrote a poem using our knowledge of synonyms, the five senses and language features to create a poem based on metaphors.

First, we chose a strong feeling or emotion to create and write a poem about. My group chose misery. We began by starting our poem off with defining what misery (the abstract noun) is. We used word hippo and researched powerful synonyms to use in our writing. We wrote a complex sentence using the five human senses to create a metaphor poem.

We enjoyed this task and found it fun because we were able to experiment with powerful adjectives and learn about abstract nouns. One thing I learnt from this learning experience is that an abstract noun is a word that exists but cannot be physically touched.
