T2+Narrative+Writing

__Tuesday 14th June__

__WALT-use our senses to help describe in our writing.__

S.C We can describe what our marshmallow looks like, smells like, feels like and tastes like

My marshmallow is the colour like a huge pig on a boiling hot day with sprinkle of cold suger on it. My marshmallow smells like juicy freash strawberry's that just got picked. That is cover with sweet melted chocolate. My marshmallow feels like crunchy chips freash out of a pack of chips with a sprinkle of firm salt. My marshmallow tastes like soft sweet candy in my yummy tummy.

 * __WALT - identify similes and metaphors__**

S.C. - We can identify the similes which use 'as' We can identify the similes which use 'like' We can identify metaphors We can explain what the similes and metaphors mean/are telling us about what we are reading

//Metaphors// are a way to compare to by saying that one thing is another thing. For example, we say somebody is a //fool//. In the past in Europe, a fool was a person who entertained the king or queen by doing silly things. The fool was a kind of clown. He often did crazy or stupid things to make people laugh. So when we call somebody a fool we really mean that he or she is doing something silly or stupid. We don’t really mean that they are somebody who entertains the king or queen. We are using a metaphor. What do we mean when we say these things:

When we //say someone is a pig// we really mean that: They are dirty eater.√

When we //call someone an angel// we really mean that:They are a good person.√

If we //say someone is a giant// we really mean that: They are very fat and tall.√

When //we call a man an ogre or a woman a witch// we really mean:They are not a nice person.√

When somebody plays cards and //we call them a shark//, we really mean that: They are very snappy.√ If we say that //somebody is a volcano ready to explode//, we really mean that: They are annoyed at someone.√ When we say somebody is //bright// we mean that: They are smart.√

Metaphors are imaginative ways to describe something by comparing that thing to something else. For example, if I wanted to say that Dan is tall, I could say that //Dan is a giant//. Use a metaphor to describe somebody who is: tall: Shelby is a Rimu tree√ kind:Alex is a opa.√ fast:korban is a Jet plane√ slow:Dave is a snail√ smart: Alex is a computer√ fat:Jono is a bus√ sneaky: Zac is a mouse√ angry:Cullun is a volcano√ beautiful:Hamish is a supermodel√ ugly:Tyce is a monkey√ stubborn:Ella is a camera man√ short:Dave is a ant√ thin:Alex is a twig√ silly:Jono is a joker√ scared:Nathneil is a ant√ easily:Levi can easlily get in the cricket team.√
