The teacher will discuss what the lesson will be about (Sam Brannan) and after looking at a photo of him and another of a prospector (49'er) and ask the students if they can elicit some responses to who he was, what he may have done, when he did it and why he would. This will get predictive possible answers to the story of his life before playing it and will also provide context for the lesson. (Will mention that the American football team in San Francisco are called the 49'ers)

Play the recording (20 Ts 12 Cd1) and ask if the class understood what was said and eliciting any responses from the students. Any questions can should be answered by other students if possible first but the teacher can finally answer if none are given. The teacher will make sure the students understand before moving on.

Some may already know. The teacher will then give the definition The teacher will then illicit examples of metaphors and will write some on the WB.
