Yesterday we talked about similes and how to identify them in an author's writing.  Today you are going to become the author and create your own similes.  You are to create five similes. Each one should be based on one of your five senses; touch , taste, smell, hearing and sight.  Be creative, but make sure you use like or as and make a comparison.

Example:

The fabric was as smooth as silk.  (touch)

His snore is like the loudest lion roar.  (hearing)

The room had an inviting smell like fresh cut roses.  (smell)

He was as tall as the trees.  (sight)

The tea had a sweet taste like fresh honey.  (taste)

    1. Only one of these is a simile. Just because you use "like" or "as" does not make it a simile. You have to make a comparison between to things.
