We live by metaphors, use them constantly, sometimes deliberately, as when writing a poem or trying to describe something for which you can't find the words, and sometimes without noticing, as when talking about how someone "pushes the envelope." Metaphors allow us to talk about one thing in terms of another.

Observe students for their participation during the exploration and discussion of their writing process and their metaphors. In class discussions and conferences, watch for evidence that students are able to describe specific details about their writing and prompt them to reflect on why they write as they do.
