project.

Metaphorical Me: Step 3

• Create a 3D representation using objects that symbolize your metaphors.

• It can look like anything or nothing at all. However, if you come with a shoebox full of trinkets, do not expect a 3 or 4.

• Make sure that your objects do not fall apart! You will need to able to explain each representation.

• No visible tape, etc.

Examples of 3D Representations

• I have some students that are making…– A video game console– A Ferris Wheel– A boat

• Each of these is either made out of their metaphor objects or will contain parts of their metaphor objects.

• Be as creative as possible!
