A complete, ready-to-teach lesson that turns children into “metaphor detectives.” Using one clear 4-step method — find the image, list its qualities, transfer the meaning, explain the effect — pupils learn to spot metaphors and, crucially, explain their effect on the reader. Ideal for a main English lesson, guided reading follow-up, revision, or a cover/substitute lesson. Designed for one ~60-70-minute session, with no preparation required.
