SPAG for all
To identify similes and metaphors and be able to use them in your writing.
Writers use similes and metaphors to create a clear picture for their readers.
A simile describes something by comparing it to something else, using the words like or as.
Simile: My brother is as greedy as a piglet.
Metaphor : 'My brother' is a piglet '
This statement isn't literally true – a child cannot be a pig – but the brother can share a pig's characteristics, like eating lots or liking to play in the mud!
Unlike a simile, metaphors do not use the words 'like' or 'as
Watch the short video clips.
