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.
