 Have you ever
tried to explain
something by
saying, “It’s just
like something”
else?

 In a sentence,
when two things
are compared
using like or as,
that is a simile.

©2013
 Let’s practice:
“The sailboat is as big
as a whale.”
●what two things are being
compared?
●was like or as used?
©2013
 Another one:
“The whale is as blue
as the ocean.”
●what two things are being
compared?
●was like or as used?
©2013
 Now, your teacher will
read a story. Listen
carefully and see if
you hear any similes.
