Learning Outcome: Use similes to write a poem Tuesday 20th January 2009 Learning Outcome: Use similes to write a poem

What is a simile? Saying one thing is like another, to create a picture in a reader’s mind. Using Like or As

Nothing's fun to laugh about. Nothing's fun to play. They call me, but I won't come out Since Hanna moved away

As As wet as a fish - as dry as a bone; As live as a bird - as dead as stone; As plump as a partridge - as poor as a rat; As strong as a horse - as weak as a cat; As hard as flint - as soft as a mole; As white as lily - as black as coal; As plain as a pike - staff - as rough as a bear; As tight as a drum - as free as the air; As heavy as lead - as light as a feather; As steady as time - uncertain as weather.
