Personification

I find that students sometimes have trouble with personification. If you are looking for a way to creatively introduce personification into your learning environment, try the following:

• Personify war. What is it like during times of peace? What was it like during the World Wars? What is it like right now? 
• Personify peace, using the same criteria as above.
• Personify a nation, taking into consideration history and current affairs.
• Personify a planet, taking into consideration that planet's defining features. 
• Personify love.
• Personify hatred.
• Personify grief. 
• Personify happiness.
• Personify time.
