In this lesson, students will learn about and practice using metaphors and figures of speech that describe something by comparing it to something else without explicitly using "like" or "as." They will be tasked with generating metaphors from given pairs of words.

Metaphors are a creative way to help people understand things by comparing them to something easier to picture in their minds. It's like when you say someone is "a shining star," to mean they are good at something. For example, if someone is furious, we might say, "His anger was a huge wave crashing down," to help you picture how powerful and overwhelming his anger is, like a giant wave in the ocean. This way, even if you can't see his anger, you can feel its strength and intensity.
