SIMILES & METAPHORS: Same and/or Different ?

Introducing Figurative Language's Similes and Metaphors is a great start and easy for your children to learn.

Since these two descriptors are about comparisons, I thought Similes would be a good start. Simile Savvy: Parts 1 ~ 5 leads your learners on a developmental path for understanding as does Metaphor Matters: Parts 1 ~ 4. Emphasizing their similarities and differences can be done with the addition and/or omission of the words “as” and “like”.

Included in this Similes & Metaphors’ CLAMDiggers Unit are:

• front & back covers for booklet use
• a thematic literature list of trade books
• a general instructional lesson plan for using specified trade books with introductory ideas
• 9 hands-on interactive activities with instructions written on an independent upper elementary level

You can utilize this unit as:

• whole group instruction
• small group instruction
• cooperative groups
• center time activities
• partner sharing
• independent study

This 37-page Similes & Metaphors Study:

• follows Bloom’s learning sequence for Higher Order Thinking
• has multiple hands-on, extension activities
• engages the learner in reading, writing, and problem-solving
• encourages Critical Thinking Skills: classifying, explaining, evaluating, etc.

Use the Making Sense of Similes & Metaphor Meanings Freebie to include more examples of these two forms of Figurative Language.
