Literacy: The Iron Man

This afternoon we read The Iron Man by Ted Hughes. As well as writing stories, Ted Hughes wrote poems, and his language is rich and wonderful to read. We learned about personification, which is a kind of metaphor where you write about something as though it was a person. Can you find examples of personification in The Iron Man?

At home, please read the story again, and think of a really hard question that you could ask someone else who has read the story. Write your question, and write the answer, but keep the answer secret. Tomorrow we can ask each other the questions we thought of, and see if we can find the answers. Enjoy doing your homework.
