4. Similes vs Metaphors: Recap
His life was an open book.
My love is like a red, red rose
I wandered lonely as a cloud
The herd of approaching elephants sounded like rolling thunder
Her temper was as explosive as a bomb
Your smile is sunshine to me

5. Similes and Metaphors Through Song Lyrics
On the front of your Figurative Language Packet, put “CW” for classwork in the “Lens of Rap Lyrics” row.
Turn to page 5. Take a few minutes to read through the song lyric. Then, underline all similes and metaphors (hint: there’s more than one in some of them!). Label them S or M for Simile or Metaphor.

For the rest of class, your job is to find a song that uses two DIFFERENT types of figurative language (they may be simile and metaphor, but if you want to use the other types you can).
For #7 on your paper, give me:
The song title
The artist
Two lyrics from the song
What type of figurative language each lyric is
Note: Make sure the song title and the lyrics you choose are school appropriate 
