Well, zinc metal is oxidized....

Explanation:

i.e. #underbrace(Zn(s) rarr Zn^(2+)+2e^(-))_"oxidation of zinc metal at anode"#

And the reduction reaction, the cathodic reaction, gives copper metal...

#underbrace(Cu^(2+)+2e^(-)rarrCu(s))_"reduction of copper metal at cathode"#

The half equations may be added together directly...
