Today you will work with a partner to create a series of illustrated metaphors in a PowerPoint slideshow to be shared on our classroom blog.
See an example below.
Step one: Work with your partner and write three metaphors. Remember that a metaphor is like a simile, but a metaphor doesn't use like or as. A metaphor says that one thing is another thing. Use your creativity.
Step two: Open a new PowerPoint project and make one slide for each metaphor. Add a title slide and a slide for your credits. Use either clipart or images from pics4learning. (No free search.)
This will appear on our blog, so remember to check your spelling and use punctuation and keep it clean.
Save your PowerPoint file where you can find it.
Step three: Go to Google Documents and log in.
Step four: Upload your slideshow.
Step five: Check out the work of other serms_students on SlideShare; add encouraging and constructive comments.
