Writing activity
L.O. : I understand the difference between similes and metaphors
Today we would like you to revise what similes and metaphors are using a BBC bitesize lesson.
A simile is when you compare something to something else e.g. He ran as fast as a cheetah through the forest.
A metaphor is when you describe something as if it was something else e.g. He was a fast cheetah running through the forest.
Watch the 2 video clips and then complete Activity 1 and Activity 2. If you work through these activities quickly, then try the 3rd one.
