Dreams p. 89

Read the poem Dreams and discuss. What is a metaphor?

Assign Question #2 in book: write a third stanza.  Explain that the metaphor they choose must illustrate or somehow embody the idea of working toward your aspirations (like a bird flying or an abundant field of growth).  This metaphor must be presented in the third line, just like the original poem, and it must also be presented as a ‘flawed’ metaphor (a bird,   with a broken wing).

The third stanza must also follow the same rhyme and rhythm as the original.


Good copy on white paper with colourful illustrations – this is due next class.
