  14. ACTIVITY • Each of you will has one half of either a simile or metaphor. • Your job is to find the person who has your matching half. • You may not talk with anyone. • How will you find your match? • Once you have found your match, stand with your partner and be ready to share. You will need to be able to tell us if you have a simile or metaphor, what is being compared, and why it is a good match. • Remember, NO TALKING as you search for the other half. • Have fun!

  15. mosquitoby Valerie Worth There is more To a mosquito Than her sting Or the way she sings In the ear: There are her wings As clear As windows, There are the sleek Velvets on her back; She bends six Slender knees, And her eye, that Sees the swatter, Glitters.

  16. TODAY’S ACTIVITY • You will be divided into groups of 2 or 3. Each group will have a picture book and a recording sheet. You will read the book and locate the similes and metaphors. • On the recording sheet, write the simile or metaphor, the two things that are being compared, and why they make a good comparison. • Be ready to share your findings.
