**__WALT - identify similes and metaphors__**

**S.C.** - We can identify the similes which use 'as' -We can identify the similes which use 'like' -We can identify metaphors -We can explain what the similes and metaphors mean/are telling us about what we are reading

__**Sheet 1**__ //Metaphors// are a way to compare to by saying that one thing is another thing. For example, we say somebody is a //fool//. In the past in Europe, a fool was a person who entertained the king or queen by doing silly things. The fool was a kind of clown. He often did crazy or stupid things to make people laugh. So when we call somebody a fool we really mean that he or she is doing something silly or stupid. We don’t really mean that they are somebody who entertains the king or queen. We are using a metaphor. What do we mean when we say these things: When we //say someone is a pig// we really mean that __they eat all of the food quickly and stuff there face full of food.__ When we //call someone an angel// we really mean that __they are nice and help out a lot.__ If we //say someone is a giant// we really mean that __they are really big.__ When //we call a man an ogre or a woman a witch// we really mean __they are really ugly.__ When somebody plays cards and //we call them a shark//, we really mean that __they are really good at playing that card game.__ If we say that //somebody is a volcano ready to explode//, we really mean that __they are really angry.__ When we say somebody is //bright// we mean that __they are really intelligent.__

__**Sheet 2**__ Metaphors are imaginative ways to describe something by comparing that thing to something else. For example, if I wanted to say that Dan is tall, I could say that //Dan is a giant//. Use a metaphor to describe somebody who is:

tall **Shelby is a girraffe** kind **Ella is a fairy** fast **He is a cheetah** slow **Sam A is a turtle** smart **Braden is a human calculator** fat **He is a fat ogre** sneaky **She is a snake** angry **She is a dragon** beautiful **She is a rose** ugly **I am a witch** stubborn **My sister is a mule** short **Dave is a mouse** thin **She is a pencil** silly **Sam k is a clown** scared easily **He is a jumpy cat** He is a giant. **He is fat** She is an angel. **She is lovely**

__**Sheet 3**__ Pattern 1: like Pattern 2: as Examples Examples Similes are a way to compare two things using ‘like’ or ‘as’. For example, if I want to say that somebody //swims well//, I can say they //swim like a fish// because fish swim well. There are two basic patterns that you can use. verb + like + noun She swims like a fish. He looks like an ogre. She plays like a pro. He walks like a duck. She acts like a fool. as + adjective + as + noun He is as tall as a giant. She is as fast as a rocket. He is as graceful as a swan. She is as sneaky as a fox. He is as quiet as a mouse. How could I say that somebody: runs fast **Korban is as fast as a cheetah** is pretty **She is as pretty as a flower** jumps well **He jumps like a kangaroo** is strong **He is as strong as a bull** How could I say that something: is hard **Is as hard like a rock** feels soft **Is soft like a baby** is sweet **Is sweet as lollies** feels rough **Is as ruff as a rhino** is heavy **Is heavy as a car** sounds noisy **Is as noisy as a motor bike** is light **Is as light as a feather**

 * Dialogue**

I was walking along the beach with my sister Lila and dog Wilson not knowing what to do now that nobody remembers us other than Wilson. I thought to myself ‘what has happened to our lives?’ This morning Mum and Dad knew who we were but when we got to school nobody knew us and then when we got home the key didn’t fit, Mum and Dad weren’t there and our furniture wasn’t in our house. Lila said worriedly “Kobey, what are we going to do and where is Wilson taking us?” “I don’t know”, I said “But I have a strange feeling about it.” “How are we going to live?” asked Lila. “ We have no food, no water, nothing. I’m really scared now Kobey” said Lila with a scared look on her face. “Don’t worry sis, as long as we are together we will be safe. Just believe that good things will come” said Kobey reassuring her. “I hope so” Lila replied. I wasn’t really sure myself. I was just trying to make Lila feel better but I am really scared too. We just have to keep positive so we can figure this out.
