Reading and Writing Tasks
Today for English we are continuing on working on our Talk for Reading and Writing Tasks.
Word-pictures – using similes
You probably know about similes. Similes are really useful
when you write because they help the reader picture and get
a better understanding of what you are writing about. There
are two types like and as, for example: It was as small as a
grain of wheat. His hands were like claws.
Everyone has heard of the simile as quiet as a mouse. In
this activity, you have to create new endings so that instead
of as quiet as a mouse , you think of something else really
quiet, for example, as quiet as a thief s whisper in a library .
Task 1:
Can you make up new similes by completing the following:
as loud as
as red as
as large as
as small as
as tall as
as blue as
as soft as
as tough as Task 2: Let’s have some fun by inventing a list of new, crazy
similes. They don’t have to make sense as you are just playing
with the idea. Choose an animal that you like and describe it
using invented and silly similes. You could describe your
animal’s eyes, ears, tail, paws, claws and teeth.

My crazy cat has
eyes like red buses, ears like
police cars, a tail like a
computer mouse, paws like
telegraph poles, claws like
crisp packets and teeth like
rotten bananas.
Task 3: Now try writing exactly the same poem but use similes
that seem to work, for example:
My cat has eyes like emeralds, ears like
velvet corners, a tail like a furry cable,
paws like small cushions, claws like
fishing hooks and teeth like a necklace
of white needles.

Which did you find easier to write? Was it when your brain
was trying to think of the wrong thing or the right thing? Which is your best idea and why? Writing tip: If you are writing a playful list, then it can be
fun to write a crazy simile. If you are trying to say what
things are really like, then the simile has to work. Remember
what we said earlier: there are two types of simile like and
as. A simile is a comparison. It is when you say two different
things are similar .
