Simile-Metaphor Stick Man

Created by

EpiphanyofTruth

This is a great, fun activity for students after learning about similes and metaphors. Students will fill out the boxes on "stick man." You can take this a step further and have the students either draw what it would look like if everything was literal or write a poem/rap using the information from stick man.
