1. Choose or create a metaphor and draw its literal meaning (the meaning
if you just look at what the words say).
2. Then, write what it means underneath. For example, if you wanted to
use ‘The boxer had an iron fist’ you would draw a metal fist about to
punch someone. The meaning would be ‘his fist is very hard and would
hurt a lot if it hit you’.

The metaphor I have chosen is: The boxer had an iron fist.
It means: his fist is very hard and would hurt a lot if it hit you.
