SIMILE
LESSON PLAN SIMILE Simile Doodle Notes and Activity Materials / Set-Up Doodle Notes Class set of Simile/Metaphor Doodle Notes (either the filled in version or the guided notes version depending on what is best for your students) ½ class set of Simile Spinners worksheet Class set of Simile Writing worksheets (2) Paperclips (1/2 class set) Colored pencils/crayons Scissors Teacher copy of the doodle notes to use as a model for students Teacher Keys Distribute the Simile/Metaphor doodle notes. Explain to students that they will be completing the top-half of the doodle notes page about similes. As you review the notes for Simile, you ll want to encourage students to color, doodle, and/or embellish the notes as they work through them. Review the notes for simile. Note the definition and review the examples. Have students circle the words like and as in the examples to highlight the key characteristic of similes. Then, in the more examples box, have students write 2 original similes. Give students an opportunity to share their examples. Have students color in their doodle notes and even doodle illustrations for their similes in class or as an extension activity. Students will be creating fun similes during this activity. First, they ll create similes with simile spinners. Then, they ll respond to a writing prompt and include a simile in their response. Activity Have students get with a partner. Distribute the Simile Spinner worksheet to each partnership. Have each student cut out a spinner. Then, demonstrate how students will be creating spinners. To do so, they ll need to place a paperclip over the tip of a pen or pencil. Then, they ll need to place the pen or pencil tip (with the paperclip) in the center of the spinner. This will make it so the paperclip can be spun around the words. (See picture on next page.)
LESSON PLAN SIMILE Simile Doodle Notes and Activity Once students understand how to make the spinners, pass out the first Simile Writing worksheet. Show students where they should record the nouns that they spin on each of their turns. Give students a chance to spin the spinners and collect words. (It s OK if they spin the same word on multiple turns.) After students have finished spinning, explain how to turn their two words into a simile. Remind students that a simile compares two things using like or as. You may want to provide a few examples: o The boy was like a statue. He didn t move for fear that the bee would sting him. o The kite was as wild as a dragon. It zigged and zagged in the air. o The monkey was like a cricket. It made noises all through the night. o The baby was as sweet as lemonade. o My pencil was as straight as a building. Activity Cont. Give students a chance to write their similes. Then, have students share them with their partners or with the class. Next, hand out the second Simile Writing worksheet. Have students select their favorite simile and write it in the box. Then, have students review the prompts and select one. Give students a chance to write in response to the prompt. Remind them that they need to include their simile in their writing. Encourage them to add MORE similes! As students finish, you may want to give them a chance to share their writing with a partner, small group, or class. You might even have the listeners identify the simile in the reader s passage. Discuss how this type of figurative language might be effective in a piece of writing.
SIMILE SPINNERS DIRECTIONS 1. Cut out each simile spinner. 2. Then, place a paperclip under the tip of your pen or pencil. 3. Next, place the pencil or pen tip and the paperclip in the center of spinner. 4. With a partner, take turns spinning each paperclip on the spinner. 5. Record the words that your paperclip stops at on the Simile Writing worksheet. BABY BOY CRICKET LEMONADE
SIMILE Writing Spin each spinner 4 times. Record the nouns that you spin each time. Then, combine the nouns to create a simile. 1. Simile: SPINNER 1 SPINNER 2 2. Simile: SPINNER 1 SPINNER 2 3. Simile: SPINNER 1 SPINNER 2 4. Simile: SPINNER 1 SPINNER 2
Review the similes that you created. Select one of your favorite similes that you brainstormed and write it in the box. SIMILE Writing Now select a story starter from the choices below. Incorporate the simile you created into your writing. Bonus! Try to include at least one or two MORE similes in your response. It was just an ordinary day. Then, I felt a giant pair of hands on my shoulders. I had the most unbelievable dream! The funniest thing happened to me at school today! Suddenly, there was a loud knock at the door.

First, they ll brainstorm ideas based on clues given by you. Then, they ll match the ideas to create and write metaphors. Activity Distribute the Metaphor Match-Up page with the chart. Explain to students that you will be giving them clues for words or ideas that they can write in each box. For instance, in box #1 they will need to write a season. They might write autumn. Give students clues for each box. Then, explain to students that they are are going to match-up the words to make six different metaphors. They can do so in two ways: 1. You can instruct students to draw lines to connect the boxes and ideas based on the directions on the bottom of the teacher key. --- OR ---- 2. You can have students review their words and ideas and make their own matches.
LESSON PLAN METAPHOR Metaphor Doodle Notes and Activity Activity Cont. Once students have made 6 metaphor matches, pass out the Metaphor Match-Up worksheet with the lined shapes. Have students write six metaphors that compare the matches that they made. You may want to encourage them to write an additional sentence that expands on the metaphor. Example: Happiness is a kangaroo. I can feel joy bouncing around my body. As students finish writing their metaphors, have them share them with a partner, small group, or the class. For an extension, you might have students write their metaphor sentence or sentences on a large index card. Then, you can display them in the classroom. Discuss how this type of figurative language might be effective in a piece of writing.

Give students an opportunity to share their examples. Have students color in their doodle notes as an extension activity. Students will be writing 6 personification sentences during this activity. First, they ll brainstorm verbs. Then, they ll combine the verbs with nouns that they brainstorm to create examples of personification. Activity Distribute the Personification page with the speech bubble. Have students get with a partner. With their partner, have students brainstorm 7 verbs that only humans can do. You ll want to stress the human-factor. Therefore, they should avoid words like run since animals can also do this, and stick with verbs like giggle, dance, and draw. After partnerships have a list of verbs, have them share 3 of them with the class. As students listen, encourage them to add verbs to their list. Next, review the directions for the bottom portion of the worksheet. Students will need to write an animal or object on each line. Then, they ll need to personify the object or animal that they wrote. For instance, if they wrote squirrel, then they might pick a word from their brainstorm like dance, and write a sentence like The squirrel danced across the tree branch in search of an acorn.
LESSON PLAN personification Personification Doodle Notes and Activity Activity Cont. Give students a chance to practice writing personification sentences with the 6 items. Then, pass out the Personification cube worksheet. Have students write a personification sentence from their chart in each square shape. Then, have students cut out the entire shape and fold along all of the lines. Have them add glue along the tabs and form a cube shape. Once students have their personification cubes, you might have them share them with a partner or small group. Have students roll each other's cubes and discuss the personification statements that their peers created. Discuss how this type of figurative language might be effective in a piece of writing. FYI: When assembling the cubes, tape also works well.
personification You re going to personify six objects, but first you ll need to brainstorm a list of at least 7 verbs to describe things that humans can do. Write an item on each line in the left column. Then, use verbs from your brainstorm above to personify the item you wrote. Write 6 sentences with personification in the right column. An animal: A household object: A kind of sporting equipment: Something found outdoors: A mode of transportation: Something found at school:
