Today we are going to continue to look at The Great Realisation. We are going to focus on figurative language. Begin by watching this video and then read this PowerPoint that explains about figurative language. These are things that you've looked at before including: simile, metaphor and personification. 

In the Great Realisation, there are great examples of metaphor. I would like for you to use this transcript of the poem and find all the metaphors you can. 

Now I would like for you to choose something about life before the pandemic and write a verse of poetry using figurative language about it. Here's my example:

The roaring of cars, the growls of drivers,
Patience was a distant dream of the past,
People were petrified of their miniature screens,
We were told that bullying would never last. 

Here I would like you to consider what I mean by the roaring of cars and the growling of drivers. 

What about being petrified of miniature screens? What kind of bullying am I talking about? 

See if you can write your own verse about before the pandemic.
