Practicing Similes and Metaphors

Dive into the world of comparisons with "Practicing Similes and Metaphors" created by Cheri Sandford in 2005. This engaging activity invites you to read through various sentences and identify whether they exemplify similes or metaphors. Similes use "like" or "as" for comparison, while metaphors do so without these words. With interactive slides featuring creative examples such as “Derek ran like a frightened rabbit” and “My sister is a demon when she wakes up,” this exercise enhances your understanding of two major literary devices.
