I teach Kindergarten and we are book buddies with a 4th
grade class. We did a great lesson on similes. First we
read Quiet as a cricket. Then we discussed all of the
similes. The students said that they were as angry as a
____________, as strong as an___________ etc... Then we drew
pictures of popcorn all over a white piece of paper. We
then microwaved real popcorn and they wrote a simile about
the popcorn on the bottom of the paper. Popcorn is as hot
as a volcano or as yellow as the sun... etc... then they ate
it up! They had a great time and really got alot out of it!

I teach in Palm Beach Florida- where are you? Please email
me at laurenstat@hotmail.com If you get any more good ideas
let me know! Thanks- Lauren
