Second, use the link to find the definition of a metaphor. Using your handout you will write down the nouns being compared in the poems.
Then you can play around on the next link and find your favorite metaphor to jot down in your Writer's Notebook.
Follow the next link on your new tab and pick out a book to read (note- some of the books are chapter books so choose wisely!) Find one metaphor from the book and write it the space provide by your hand out.
First, go through the SlideShare on similes using your Writer's Notebook to take notes.
Then, try your hand at the matching game of similes- talk it out with your partner, and feel free to take more than one 60-second session to make your choices. Do not move on until you check to make sure you've made 100 %.
Next, listen and watch the provided video and write down all of the similes you find from the lyrics (pause the lyrics so that you can copy them onto your handout). Talk with your partner and discuss what you think two of the similes mean and are comparing. Explain as best as you can in your Writer's Notebook.
