One of these things is not like the other…

For today’s session, we talked about how we can compare things that are very different but still similar to each other. For example what do a mouse and an elephant have in common, or how are the sun and a lightbulb similar to each other. Then students brainstormed their ideas and wrote their own comparison poems. Enjoy the poems!

Water is like my
tears when I cry
My eyes are as dark
as midnight
My heart beats like
a ball when you bounce it
When I run I’m like
a car in a race
I’m as sweet as
cotton candy
When I sleep I’m as quiet
as a mouse

A Car Is Like a Person Ma'Kiyla M

A car is like a moving person
A pizza is like a big sprinkle cookie
A scooter is like a bike you can ride
A shark is like a fish with big teeth
A marshmallow is like a pillow with a lot of sugar

A car beats like my heart
Smash potatoes look like clouds
A sun looks like a bright light
My pants look like a dark sky
My face is shiny like a ring.
