  1. Today we have two objectives. • To make metaphors fun by using Michael Bublé’s hit song ‘Everything’. • To introduce one of the scariest, most horrific and spine-tingling poems ever written. ‘The Raven’ by Edgar Allen Poe. TODAY

  2. Heading Poetry 4

  3. Metaphor • When a comparison is made between two unlike things that actually have something in common. • Examples: • You have a heart of stone. • You light up my life. • You’re a one-hit record.

  4. Exercise • The following song has many metaphors. • Each metaphor says “You’re ....” • For example, the first one is “You’re a falling star”. • First we’re going to listen to the song. Count how many metaphors there are. All those who get near to the correct answer get a glowing recommendation to Miss Murphy and are a step closer towards a good note.

  5. Exercise • To hear the song, the class must be quiet. If students start talking excessively, we shall move straight to the paper handouts and go over the metaphors there. • Let everyone hear the song. • There are five metaphors in quick succession here to start, 30 seconds with none and then more so don’t worry.

  6. Hopefully the song works nowhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=To2vP4-klOM

  7. Exercise • How many did we get? • Let’s go through them individually. The metaphor shall come up now and we shall write a couple words explaining it. • After 30 seconds we shall stop writing, listen to each others ideas in an organised manner and write down any new explanations.

  8. Exercise • You’re a fallen star • You’re a getaway car • You’re the line in the sand when I go to far • You’re the swimming pool on an August day • You’re the perfect thing to say • You’re every line • You’re every word • You’re everything • You’re a carousel

  9. Exercise • You’re a wishing well • You light me up when you ring my bell • You’re a mystery • You’re from outer space • You’re every minute of my everyday • Do we count “You’re every line, You’re every word, You’re everything” twice more? – either way is ok. • You’re every song

  10. Exercise • 15 or 21, depending on if you counted each time: • You’re every line • You’re every word • You’re everything

  11. You’re all clear on what Metaphors are now? • Let’s move on to the main event then. • The Raven

  12. Homework • Read all of the poem and write down a short response. What did you think of it? • There are no wrong answers. We are looking for you to form an opinion on the poem. Read it multiple times, discuss it with others, research and ask people questions to find out more about it. • Half A4 page or one full A5 (smaller copy) page.
