This lesson highlights the significance of similes and metaphors in enhancing language. A simile makes a comparison using "like" or "as," such as "light as a feather," while a metaphor asserts one thing is another, like "a heart of stone." Through vivid examples, students will learn how these figures of speech enrich writing and convey deeper meanings. We will explore sentence structures, practicing staccato sentences that illustrate the impact of wording choices. Additionally, an outline exercise will help students synthesize key points from multiple sources, developing their analytical skills.
