Writing Task - Moana (T3 W10)

                                                           ~ Moana ~

Moana is a story that takes place around the beautiful Pacific, centered around a young princess, Moana, and the mischievous demigod Maui.


Your task today is to use METAPHORICAL language to describe the people, and places from the movie.Metaphorical language means that we have made a comparison between the thing we are describing,

 and something we all recognise.


Let’s look at 3  different types of metaphorical language… 


Type of Metaphorical Language

How we use it

Example

What I really mean.

METAPHOR

A metaphor is when you say something IS something else.

“Mr Hughes is a teddy bear”

This means Mr Hughes is friendly, and cuddly.

SIMILE

A simile is when you say something is LIKE or AS something else.

“Mr Hughes is as ugly as a crushed pineapple”

Mr Hughes looks like a crushed pineapple

PERSONIFICATION

A personification gives human qualities to something non-human.

“The wind whistled through the trees”

The noise of the wind sounded like somebody whistling.


Your job is to use METAPHORS, SIMILES, AND PERSONIFICATION to describe these things from the movie Moana.


Check the next page for the table you will be using.



Use 3 examples of Metaphorical Language to describe… 

What do they look like?

How do they act/behave?

Moana has wavy hair. Moana’s hair reminds me of the waves on the ocean. She is wearing a necklace. Her necklace can open and she can put anything that is small. Her eyes are the colour of her hair. She is also 7,6 feet tall.

She behaves nice, calm, brave, happy and lovely.

Maui’s tattoos show his adventures. He has a bone necklace. His hair is curlier than Moana’s. He has a long skirt that is made out of leaves. He also brings around a magical hook that is made out of bone as well.

He acts manly but he shows off too much. He also acts brave and a BIT childish.

Hei hei has big eyes but his/her pupils are small. He/She has a tall teal tail. He/She has an orange beak. He/She also has red, green, yellow and blue skin/hair. 

Dumb, childish and kinda brave but mostly quiet. No offense.

Ta fiti has beautiful curly green hair. She also has a pretty red, pink, purple and blue flower crown.

Nice and wonderful.
