Year 4 - Describing Our Palaces

L.O. To include a metaphor in a location description.

You've designed some brilliant Palaces for the Queen of the Blazing World. In class, we began to describe them, but we only concentrated on using metaphor.

Homework: There are two parts to the homework:

1. Complete the 'Metaphor' sheet we began in class - come up with 7 or 8 metaphors to describe your palace.

2. Then write a full description of your palace, using the five senses, colours and similes - and make sure you've included at least one metaphor from the list you began in class!

Year 4 - Describing a Location using Simple Metaphor

Having mastered the five senses, we are going to move on to look at the use of simple metaphor in descriptions.

To do so, we need something cool to describe - and we are going to use our design skills to build a fantastic model! This is a fab example of using kinaesthetic learning (learning by doing) to insprie our writing.
