This will be the beginning of simile writing. After descriptions have been made, tell the class to compare their descriptions to things that are unlike. Continue to do this until all the descriptions have been compared. D. Write words such as clown, house, tower, apple, lion, baby, sky. Tell the class to describe one of the words using a simile on a slip of paper.
Students can then read their descriptions and the class can guess which word is being described.
Discuss how the things compared are alike or unlike. F. Break up the class into groups of three. Pass out sheets of paper that have been prefolded into thirds. Each child in the group will have a special writing job. Child One will write a short subject that includes a linking verb.
