Have you ever

tried to explain

something by

saying, “It’s just

like something”

else?

In a sentence,

when two things are

compared using

like or as,

that is a simile.

“The flowers are as

yellow as the sun.”

●what two things are being

compared?

●was like or as used?

“The bird is as blue as

the sky.”

●what two things are being

compared?

●was like or as

used?

Let’s practice:

“The pumpkin is as big

as a wagon.”

●what two things are being

compared?

●was like or as used?

Have you ever tried to

explain something by

saying, “It’s just like

something” else,

without using like or

as? You may have

used a metaphor.

In a sentence, when

two things are

compared without

using like or as,

that is a metaphor.

“The vegetables are a

rainbow.”

●what two things are being

compared?

●was like or as used?

“The flowers are art.”

●what two things are being

compared?

●was like or as used?

Let’s practice:

“The moon is a white

balloon .”

●what two things

are being

compared?

●was like or as

used?

Now, your teacher will read

a story. Listen carefully and

see if you hear any figurative

language.

Over the next few days, see

if you notice any similes

when people talk or when

you read.
