Six pages: simile or metaphor and what it means (two pages); cut and sort; find the two things compared; finish similes; and circle what each really means.
Say "The classroom was a zoo." Ask what two things are compared and what the sentence really means. Then change it into a simile with like.
Listen for comparisons in books and songs, and talk about what they really mean.
Similes and metaphors in sentences of our own, like "She ran like a cheetah" and "The classroom was a zoo." Students tell them apart, find the two things compared, finish similes and explain what each one really means.
