The document discusses the difference between similes and metaphors. It states that a simile directly compares two things using "as" or "like", while a metaphor also compares two things but does so directly without using "as" or "like". Examples of each are provided. The document then presents several phrases and asks the reader to identify each as a simile or metaphor. It concludes by challenging the reader to write a poem about a hobby using at least one of each.

1. Simile or metaphor?
Your challenge today is to
recognise the difference
between a simile and a
metaphor, can you do it?

2. A simile is where two things
are directly compared, and
“as” or “like” is usually used
to compare.
For example:
As cold as a dog’s nose.
He was slow like a snail.

3. A metaphor also compares
two things, but it does it
more directly without using
“as” or “like”.
For Example:
The shop was a little gold mine.

4. Lets see how clever you are!

enough to be able to tell me
