Mark Grist, spoken word artist, Educational Consultant and You Tube sensation, shows teachers how to use a fun metaphor poetry writing activity to get pupils enthused with creating their own original metaphor poems.

This video is 3 and a half minutes long and will give you a poetry writing activity for pupils of any age.

We also recommend you watch The Original Ideas workshop by Mark Grist, which sets up this activity perfectly:    • Video  .
