Inquiry into Language:

Today we learned about Similes and Metaphors. Both similes and metaphors make comparisons, however the difference is between how they make comparisons. Similes use the words "like" and "as", whereas metaphors just says the comparison as is. We discussed these and went over some examples while explaining how we knew whether that sentence was a simile or a metaphor.

Inquiry into Language Continued:
We completed a cut-and-paste activity where we had to sort similes and metaphors and glue them under the correct category. We all did very well on this! For homework we have to complete two worksheets on similes.
