Personification

Dear 5-6,

This week, we learnt that personification is a figurative writing technique used when a writer makes a non-human object or idea seem like a person. Here are some good pieces written by your classmates. 

From Wei Ting:
As I walked home, the thunder grumbled like a grouchy grandpa and the chilly wind kissed my icy cheeks. The rain appeared like a weeping child and my school bag looked like it just had a shower.

From Darryl,
It was Monday morning. The first rays of the morning tiptoed through the meadow. The alarm clock shouted at me when I was sleeping soundly. 

From Zhi Qing,
The alarm clock danced to the melody when it struck seven. I grumbled like an old man, dragging myself to the washroom. The cold wind howled against the window, hoping to wake me up.

From Stanley,
I fed my school bag as it gobbled up my books and stationary. It wrapped itself around me as I got ready for school. Its zippers and I were playing Tug of War as I tried to close it. It finally gave in and allowed me to zip it up.

From Megan,
My school bag growled in pain as I stuffed my books into it. It moaned and groaned like a bear. It gobbled up my books as I fed it.

Well done pupils! I was extremely delighted to read your beautiful pieces of writing. Do continue to use this writing technique in your composition.

Take care,
Miss Liew
