Metaphor Poem Worksheet: ‘Our Class’

Overview:

A worksheet focused on metaphors, using the poem ‘Our Class’. Designed for students in year 3 and year 4.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify and understand metaphors in poetry.
• Analyse metaphors to explain how they compare two things.
• Develop creative writing skills by composing original metaphors.

How the Activity Works:

Students read the poem ‘Our Class’ and highlight all metaphors they can find. For each metaphor, students will identify what is being compared and explain the similarities between the two things being compared. They then write two original metaphors about their own class. Finally, students draw a picture that represents one of the metaphors from the poem. This worksheet helps students reinforce their understanding of metaphorical language.
