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!

Next get a quarter of clingingness
And slowly added to the Bowl

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
