What do Jeep advertisements and Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath have in common? They both employ the art of the extended metaphor! Using the Six-Trait Writing model, learners begin to work on their own extended metaphors. Development assignments, graphic organizers, and sentence fluency sheets are all included, as are the aforementioned Jeep ads (through a Flickr account).
