On p. 59, Wagamese describes Saul’s experience of seeing TV for the first time. Imagine what this experience would be like for you.
1) create a list of FIVE adjectives that you think would describe this experience (remember to try to consider increasing the level of vocabulary you use).
2) using some of the adjectives from above, create THREE similes that describe your experience.
3) using the similes above, turn them into THREE metaphors; not that you are not creating new metaphors – you are simply demonstrating your ability to convert your similes into metaphors.
Example (students can reference this but not use it as their own):
1) amazing
2) Simile: Seeing TV for the first time ever would be amazing like a visual circus in front of your eyes.
3) Metaphor: Seeing TV for the first time ever would be an amazing visual circus in front of your eyes.
