  1. Similes vs. Metaphors Ms. Yarborough

  2. Simile • A comparison between two things using the words “like” or “as” • HINT: the word “simile” has a “l” and “i,” just like the word “like”

  3. Simile Examples • Carrying my book bag was like dragging around a bag of boulders. • She danced like she was trying to stomp on rabid squirrels. • Jan’s broken nose swelled up like a big red balloon.

  4. Simile Examples • She is as cold as ice. • I’m as mad as fire! • Those two best friends are like two peas in a pod. • That test was as easy as A.B.C.!

  5. Now write your own simile! • With your row, write a simile on the sentence strip. • Think of something you enjoy and compare it to something else using the word “like” or “as.”

  6. Metaphor • A comparison between two things NOT using the words “like” or “as”

  7. Metaphor Examples • The algebra question x+16=60 is a sharp object jiggling around in my brain. • A positive attitude can be light in a sea of darkness. • When I hear that Spring Break is almost a week away, it’s music to my ears!

  8. Make your own Metaphor • Make some metaphors using two objects… • For example: • Sun, diamond • Figure out what the sun and diamonds have in common to make a metaphor. • Example: The sun is a diamond in the sky. • Mind, sponge • What does your mind and a sponge have in common? • They both can absorb things (mind absorbs knowledge, sponge absorbs water, etc.)
