In this lesson, children will read the chapter 'Wormy Spaghetti'. We will then watch a short clip from the film 'The Twits' that corresponds with this chapter of the book. The children will then look at some food samples and turn them into metaphors, like Roald Dahl has turned spaghetti into worms.

We will then extend the metaphor's into a phrase using adjectives, alliteration, descriptive nouns and adverbs. The children will be reminded and examples will be given of the figurative language. For example, 'A lethal leg of a poisonous spider, twisted with putrid pus and dried blood.' These phrases that the children will invent will then be used to create their own fantastic disgusting Mrs Twit's Menu. 

A disclaimer will also be invented!

Together we will then share our menus and comment on each other's use of figurative language.
