cheeks in the morning.

yellow, orange, and gold.

Fall is as windy as a tornado. SIMILIE

SIMILIE Fall is as grumpy as an old man

Fall is the smell of pumpkins and apple cider. METAPHOR

SIMILIE Fall is like getting exactly what you want for Christmas.

Analysis

After reading the poem, the teacher will bring out a postcard that already has
the words "simile" and "metaphor" written on it. Using the pre-made poem that is written
in a cartolina, identify the figures of speech (simile and metaphor) that are being used.
The post card will be utilized to identify.

Abstraction

To see if pupils are following along, the teacher can place some cards in the
wrong spot on purpose. To help express the words, the teacher can employ gestures
and body language.

Application

Students will be divided into two groups. Each group will be given a designated
poem.   They will work together to find all the figures of speech (simile and metaphor)
that is being utilized in their assigned poem.

They will be using a marker to underline the figures of speech simile and encircle
the figures of speech metaphor.

They will go over their work as a class as they discover all of the special figures
used.

He’s a sports car zooming across the with happiness and bliss
