As students enter the classroom, they are greeted by vibrant, oversized prints of famous paintings on the walls. Each artwork features a unique metaphor related to emotions, life, or human experiences. The room buzzes with curiosity.
Once everyone is settled, the teacher invites the students to view the artwork before them. They read the titles, taking note of their immediate thoughts and feelings about each painting.
Next, students break into small groups to discuss the following prompts:
After about 10 minutes of discussion, each group shares their interpretations with the class, fostering a collaborative atmosphere filled with diverse perspectives.
Having engaged with the artworks, the teacher transitions into the main lesson: "Today, we will dive deep into the world of metaphors in literature. Just like the paintings we've observed, author’s use metaphors to convey complex ideas and emotions in their writing. Let's explore how we can harness the power of metaphors in our own creative expression."
By using this artistic approach to introduce the lesson, the teacher not only captures students' attention but also stimulates their critical thinking and creativity, setting a dynamic tone for the learning ahead.
