One morning, not too long ago, I went to Starbucks and received my Grande Chai Tea Latte in the prettiest cup I have seen! Adorned with hearts and words that represent love, my coffee cup that morning, inspired me to do an activity with my students!
Since we had just learned about figurative language, I thought that making our own coffee cups using metaphor might be a fun activity. I modeled an example of my own, and then the kids took it from there. While these are only some of the examples, and some students are still working on their coffee cup, I was impressed and pleased with the poetry that was created during this activity!

| Happiness is...everything green... |
 |
| Dreams are...like an accomplishment, night art, potential... |
 |
| Happiness is...living, peace, friends... |
 |
| Rainy days are...lonely, boring, sad... |
 |
| Basketball is...outgoing, sweating, buzzers, teamwork... |
 |
| Happiness is...God, life, school, puppies... |
 |
| This one was my example! I have fun doing things like this too! |
 |
| Love is...red velvet cake... :-) |
It's amazing how everyday objects can inspire great things...what inspires you?
Love, love it!!
