Similes

Today in literacy we discussed figurative language.  Fancy words, huh?  Figurative language is when writers describe something in the text by comparing it to something else. Today, we discussed a particular type of figurative language called similes.  A simile is figurative language that compares two unlike things by using the words like or as. The students seemed to enjoy the two videos I shared today so I thought I would post them on the blog.  One link is a song that you can click on and the other link is the book My Dog is as Smelly as Dirty Socks.   Have your child share different similes with you!  Enjoy!
