We often spend a lot of time focusing on similes and metaphors, but that's because they're used so frequently in our spoken and written text!

Then, they read the second page and decide whether a simile or metaphor is being used in each sentence. The third page contains the answers.
After your learners are familiar with the definition of simile and metaphor, provide them with this reference guide. First, it details the definitions of both simile and metaphor, but then it explores mixed metaphors, overused metaphors, phrases that include both similes and metaphors.

Students define the term 'simile,' write their own similes using the words as or like, and work cooperatively to write similes. In addition, students write stories that include similes and illustrate picture books that contain similes.
