Preparing for Debate and Reviewing Figurative Language



This is a still life--a painting of inanimate objects. In the back of the room, I put together a live still life.

You have received a card that says life, love, friends, home, or school.

When you are called, your group will get to view the still life close up. Please create a metaphor OR simile by comparing the word on your card to one of the objects in the still life display.

Ex. Life is a basket.

After you write your simile or metaphor, describe the idea that the comparison suggests.

This suggests that one's life needs to be filled with things, such as experiences, people, and emotions, in order for it to feel complete.

We'll use the last five minutes to share.


If you're not working on the metaphor/simile activity, you are to be completing the "Preparing a Debate" side of the handout with your version of "The Lady or The Tiger's" ending.
