Simile and Metaphor Worksheet Practice
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.

Importance of learning English language arts
English language arts (ELA) concepts — reading, writing, listening, and speaking — empower students to become effective communicators, critical thinkers, and lifelong learners. They are the foundation for all other types of learning as students must rely on ELA skills to master content from other subject areas and communicate what they’ve learned.
Strong reading skills can help students make sense of written content, and gather information for further analysis. Writing skills can help students articulate their ideas, construct arguments, and synthesize information. And speaking and listening skills empower students to clearly present their ideas, participate in group discussions, and collaborate with their classmates. This is why teaching English language arts is critically important for student’s success in school and beyond.
