Last week at Dever Elementary 7th grade students explored Metaphors for the first time. We discussed the ways we use metaphors in our everyday language and about how metaphors allow us to more deeply understand our world and experiences. Student’s wrote pieces about what emotions feel like through metaphors.

Happiness is sunshine
the sun will not
always be there
but when the sun
come out it make you
fill with joy and
happiness
and the sun
will make you
feel excited.
Happiness

Happiness is a balloon,
floating oh so high
with no consequences.
Happiness is a balloon, many desire it.
Happiness is a balloon, a balloon that’s able to be popped
with a single pin of sadness.
Happiness is music
all different, depending on the person.
Happiness is music
Some good
Some bad.
Happiness is music
being able to change throughout time.

Happiness is a mug of hot warm tea.
Sadness is the coals of a fire losing their warmth.
Calm is the soft of my favorite blanket.
Solitude is the door of my room keeping me in silence.
