Pictured Things

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is an activity designed to engage students in creating metaphors using images as prompts. There are five images on the worksheet: a raccoon, a hammer, a bottle, a biscuit, and a tank. Students are tasked with using each image to create a metaphor and then provide an explanation for the metaphor they have created. This encourages students to form connections between the image and other objects, concepts, or experiences by using metaphorical language.

The worksheet’s objective is to teach students how to create metaphors, which is a fundamental skill in learning figurative language. By using visual stimuli, the exercise helps students to conceptualize abstract ideas and communicate them in a more imaginative way. It also allows students to practice explaining their creative process, fostering a deeper understanding of how metaphors can be used to convey meaning effectively. The task enhances students’ creative writing abilities and aids in the development of their analytical thinking skills as they justify their choices of metaphors.
