After finishing a unit on figurative language in Mrs. Jamie Davis’s reading class, fifth graders at the Dunmore Elementary Center put their new knowledge to work and created class books that were sent out and published. 

Each classroom book was titled, “I am a Metaphor”, and each student’s poem was to be titled with a metaphor that described themselves.  Students were given criteria that they needed to follow, which included illustrating their poem.  The students enjoyed working on this assignment and are even more excited knowing that they are published authors!
