Similes and Metaphors

WALT: Write and give examples of similes

Both similes and metaphors are forms of comparison that compare words in a sentence.

A simile is where two things are directly compared because they share a common feature. The word AS or LIKE is used to compare the two words. Eg. As cold AS a dog's nose.

A metaphor also compares two things, but it does so more directly WITHOUT using as or like. Eg. The shop was a little gold-mine.
