L.O. Can I use similies?
​
​

What is a simile? 

A simile is a way of describing something by comparing it to something else using 'like' or 'as'. 

example: 
Her eyes are like stars and her lips are like roses. 
The car was as fast as a cheetah.

​Your turn!  can you finish these similes:

Greece was hot like...
The book was as exciting as...
The night was as  black as...
The fireworks were colourful like...
The doll's face was as smooth as...


Why do we use similes? 
When you are describing something, you are trying to create a picture in the reader's mind. Similes can help you do this.
They are most often used in stories and poems. 

The dog was big and fierce. 
Now if we add adjectives and similes...
The black, scruffy dog was as big as a wolf and fierce like a very angry bear.

The house was beautiful. 
Now if we add adjectives and similes...
The ancient house was beautiful like an old fashioned painting.  

Activity
How could we describe the Stone Age Boy using adjectives and similes? 

Try to think of at least three adjectives and at least three similes to describe  him. 

Examples:
Stone Age Boy has glasses   as round  as the moon. 
​When Stone Age Boy   woke up   in the dark,   gloomy cave he was as   brave as a lion and   curious like a  cat. 

​Now it's your turn!
