Family Metaphor Poems

After learning about specific types of figurative language and practicing identifying them in a variety of texts, we read a poem called "An Ocean of Memories" where the author describes their family as a different parts of the ocean. Then we created a list of possible things we could describe our own families as. We wrote our own family metaphor poems. With this task we also studied the structure of the poem and how the stanzas come together to create the whole text. Check out some examples of our poems!
