Six pages: simile or metaphor and what it means; cut and sort; find the two things compared; finish similes; circle what each really means; and simile, metaphor, personification or hyperbole.
Say "Life is a roller coaster." 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, plus personification and hyperbole, in sentences of our own, like "The rumor spread like wildfire." Students tell them apart, find the two things compared, finish similes and explain what each one really means.
