Chefs from West Park!

Today the poets from West Park Academy transformed into chefs as they wrote recipes on what makes a good friend. This lesson focused on extended metaphors; not just including metaphors in your writing but making the whole piece a metaphor. In this case, the chefs used recipes as metaphors for friendship. Bon appetite!

Cloie W.

First fill up a bowl with a cup of caring

Next get a quarter of clingingness

And slowly added to the Bowl

At a pinch of mean mix

Then add some friendly when you are done. Now you have your lovable friend

Quiero una cucharada de inteligencia

Tres tasas de deportes

También dos tasas de peligro y callado

Y listo a cocinarlo por una semana

Y si es amiga a cocinarla por un mes
