Simile and Metaphor Worksheet Practice

Created by

This worksheet provides 10 metaphors/similes that allow students to practice their learning. Pictures of example next to each. They must identify if the sentence uses a simile or metaphor and then explain what that use of figurative language is trying to communicate. There are also 4 "Write Your Own" prompts at the end of the worksheet. This has always been a big hit with my students and can work for grades 4-8.

Practicing Restating the Question in Answers

Created by

MissEducation

In my classroom, we use R.A.C.E. to answer questions - R = Restate the question, A = Answer the question, C = Cite the evidence from the text, E = Explain or Elaborate. (G can be substituted for C to spell RAGE, where G = Give an example from the text. Maybe more appropriate for younger grades.) This worksheet will help students practice the first two letters or RACE - Restating and Answering. For some this is an easy, quick review. For others who are struggling to understand what RACE means,
