What a simile is...

Today for writing we talked about similes. Similes are:
when something is connected to something else... (Yusuf)
when you join something or someone to something else... (Charlotte)
using the words:

like or as.
Here are some of our similes:
  • Georgia - Rob is as funky as a dancing hippo.
  • Will - As black as the night.
  • Finn - Underdog can do tricks and he can punch like a ninja.
  • Isabella - As snippy as a crocodile.
  • Yusuf - Angry as a bear.
  • Josh - As broken as a broken leg.
  • Eden - The rainbow is as special as a girl.
  • Zach - He as fast as a cheetah.
  • Charlotte - My tooth is as wobbly as jelly.
  • Flynn - Rob is silly as a monkey.
  • Yusuf - The monster was as strong as a lion.
  • Eden - Rob is as silly as a chimpanzee.
