Here are some questions about the poems above.
Which is your favourite poem? why?
Are there any words you liked that you want to use in your poem?

What is a simile?
A simile describes something by comparing it to something else , using like or as:
- The snake moved like a ripple on a pond.
- It was as slippery as an eel.
- Jess is as graceful as a gazelle.
Can you finish the similes by matching them to the correct ending?


Wednesday
