Similes and metaphors
A PowerPoint that explains the use of similes and metaphors and the rule of ‘like or as’ . The PowerPoint uses a variety of images and offers various examples for students to discuss if the simile / metaphor works or not.
The end of the PowerPoint includes a sensory game to help students describe an object by using all senses (this could be used as a hook).
There is also a brainstorming grid to help students to organise ideas before writing similes or metaphors.
