Procedures:

1. Introduction (5 minutes): Begin by gauging students' prior knowledge of similes and metaphors. Encourage discussion and brainstorming.
2. Video Engagement (5 minutes): Introduce the concept with the educational video, "Similes and Metaphors" by The Bazillions. This engaging resource aids visual learners.
3. Definition and Explanation (10 minutes): Clearly define similes (comparisons using "like" or "as") and metaphors (comparisons without "like" or "as"). Provide examples:

• Simile: "Her laughter was as bright as sunshine."
• Metaphor: "The test was a beast."

1. Practice Makes Perfect (15 minutes): Distribute Simile and Metaphor Sentence Worksheets. Collaboratively complete the top section, then guide students to write their own similes and metaphors about themselves.
2. Creative Expression (20 minutes): Students will construct an "I Am" poem using their favorite lines from the worksheets. Aim for eight lines, including at least three metaphors. Share an example of your own poem for inspiration.
3. Closure and Assessment (10 minutes): Students will work independently on their poems while you address their questions. Encourage volunteers to share their creations with the class.
