 * __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

//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 are really disgusting.√_ __When we //call someone an angel// we really mean thatthey are nice and friendly to others.√__ If we //say someone is a giant// we really mean thatthey are really tall.√_ When //we call a man an ogre or a woman a witch// we really mean that they are mean and/or nasty people.√ __When somebody plays cards and //we call them a shark//, we really mean that they are cheating.x___ If we say that //somebody is a volcano ready to explode//, we really mean thatthey are really excited.√_ __When we say somebody is //bright// we mean that they are very smart.√__

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 levi is a giraffe√ kind levi is nice√ fast korban is fast√ slow a turtle is slow√ smart hamish is smart√ fat a pig is fat.√ sneaky a fox is sneaky√ angry a bull is angry√ beautiful my mum is beautiful√ ugly a peacock√ stubborn a donkey√ short dave is short thin my sister caitlin silly reuben and nathaniel are very silly√ scared easily a elephant is scared easily He is a giant. She is an angel.

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 is pretty jumps well is strong How could I say that something: is hard feels soft is sweet feels rough is heavy sounds noisy is light
