Writing: Moana

 ~ 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 looks like Te Fiti. She has long black hair. She is wearing a black,white and red clothes.	Moana acts like a teenager. She acts so good and she is brave. She acts like a famous person.
	Maui looks like Moana’s father. Maui has tattoos all over his body.  He has long black hair. He has a green boy shirt.	Maui acts strong and flexible. He always acts like a big gorilla on an island.
	HeiHei has pick, yellow, orange, green and blue feathers. He has big eyes. He has yellow feets and a yellow nose.	HeiHei acts like a disability chicken. He does act kinda dumb. But he's funny.
	Te Fiti looks like Moana. She has green nature clothes. She looks like a mountain.	Te Fiti acts like a person that died. But still on land. She acts kind and brave.
