Lesson 8Day 1Date:Similes, Metaphors,and PersonificationBoth similes and metaphors are forms of comparison that compare words in a sentence.They can be used to make your sentences more interesting. How are similes andmetaphors different?A simile is a word that compares words in a sentence. You can usually tell if a simile ispresent in a sentence when you see the words as or like.Don ate his salad like a vacuum cleaner.His arms were weak and felt like noodles.The thunder was as loud as fireworks.You can see that the underlined words in the sentences above are compared to each other.The words as and like are bolded to show that a simile occurs in this sentence.Like a simile, a metaphor compares words in a sentence; however, instead of saying thatone thing is like something else, a metaphor actually makes one thing become somethingvery different by renaming it. A metaphor can sometimes use words like is, are, or was (andother words) to signal that a metaphor is present. However, a metaphor never uses the wordslike or as to compare.The smoke was cotton balls billowing from the chimney.You are my hero.The sun was a furnace.You can see in these examples that the first underlined word is actually renamed by thesecond underlined word. The bolded words are bolded to show that the second underlinedword is something else.Level 5, Lesson 8 –Similes, Metaphors, and Personification51

Lesson 28Day 1Date:Explanatory WritingIn this lesson you will write an explanatory writing that is four paragraphs in length. Anexplanatory writing is also called an expository writing. An explanatory writing presentsinformation or explains how to do something that is not obvious. The author of an explanatorywriting should not assume that the reader has any prior knowledge or understanding of thetask or process being explained. This means that the author must use words that are veryclear when discussing the task or process.An explanatory writing is structured very similarly to many other types of writings in that itcontains an introductory paragraph, a body (one or more paragraphs), and a concludingparagraph. The introductory paragraph in an explanatory writing clearly states what is aboutto be explained, described, or analyzed. The paragraphs of the body are arranged in thecorrect logical order (the necessary steps to describe or complete the task). The concludingparagraph summarizes the task or description discussed in the body of the writing. In otherwords, it restates the purposes of the writing.You will now develop a four paragraph explanatory writing. Explain the process for putting apuzzle together.Outlining ProcessWe will now begin writing your explanatory writing assignment with the outlining process.Outlining is the process where information about the writing is gathered in order to complete arough outline and a final outline.The entire outlining process is explained in Appendix B. If you need help in completing therough outline or the final outline, use Appendix B.
