This document discusses figurative language and two common types: similes and metaphors. Similes use "like" or "as" to compare two things, such as "as white as snow." Metaphors directly state that one thing is another without using "like" or "as", for example "the cat is a shadow." The document provides examples of both similes and metaphors to illustrate the difference between the two types of figurative language.

The figures of speech
This document defines and provides examples of three figures of speech: onomatopoeia, personification, and irony. Onomatopoeia uses words that phonetically imitate sounds, like "sizzle" and "howl." Personification gives human traits to non-human things, like saying leaves "danced to the ground." There are three types of irony: verbal irony uses sarcasm, situational irony involves unexpected outcomes, and dramatic irony occurs when the audience knows something characters do not.
Hyperbole figurativelanguagepractice
Hyperboles are figures of speech that use intentional exaggeration to create vivid mental images for the reader. They exaggerate certain characteristics to describe something in a creative, exaggerated way. Examples include saying someone snores louder than a freight train or stood in line so long that grass began to grow on their shoes. Hyperboles are often used for humor or to poke fun by exaggerating characteristics.

- The circumference is the distance around the outside of the circle. The diameter is the distance from one side to the other passing through the center.
- The radius is the line connecting the center of the circle to the circumference. A chord is a line touching the circumference at two points.
- A sector is the part of a circle between two radii. An arc is the part of the circumference at the edge of a sector. A segment is the part between a chord and an arc.
- A tangent is a straight line touching the circle at just one point. The document includes diagrams labeling these different parts
Natural Objects in the Sky.pptx
Daytime objects in the sky include the sun, which Earth revolves around, clouds which are important for weather, and rainbows which are formed when sunlight hits raindrops and splits into colors. Nighttime objects are the moon, which orbits Earth, stars which are bright balls of gas that give their own light, and planets.
Musical Form.pptx
Musical form refers to the structure or organization of a musical composition. There are several common forms, including binary form consisting of two contrasting sections (AB), ternary form with three sections (ABA) where the first and third sections are the same, and rondo form with a recurring theme or refrain alternating with different episodes (ABACA). The form helps composers organize their pieces and involves different melodic phrases, sections, and the repetition or contrast of musical ideas.
arithmetic sequences explicit.ppt
The document provides information about arithmetic sequences including defining the first term (a), common difference (d), and the explicit formula to find any term (an) in an arithmetic sequence. It gives examples of finding specific terms and writing recursive and explicit rules for arithmetic sequences.
syllables-fun-activities-games_55019.pptx
This document discusses how to count syllables in words. A syllable is a single unit of sound within a word. Words can have different numbers of syllables, such as "tie" having one syllable and "alphabet" having three syllables. The document recommends clapping out the syllables in words to count them, such as clapping three times for "umbrella" and five times for "I like to eat cheese." Counting syllables is done by hearing the separate sounds or "beats" in each word, rather than individual letters or sounds.
Euphemism.pptx
Euphemism is a polite expression used in place of a rude, harsh, or embarrassing statement to avoid offending or humiliating someone. Euphemisms are made up of three Greek morphemes meaning "good voice act/result" and are used to soften expressions like "died" to "passed away" or describe someone as attending "remedial classes" rather than being "corrective". Common euphemisms include replacing "garbage man" with "sanitation engineer", calling the elderly "senior citizens" rather than "old people", and referring to pregnancy as being "in the family way".
Congruent Figures.pptx
Two figures are congruent when they have the same size and shape. Two triangles are congruent when their corresponding angles and sides are equal in measure. The document provides examples of identifying congruent triangles by showing that their corresponding angles and sides are equal.
Safety Measures for Different Weather Conditions.pptx
On sunny days, people are at risk of headaches, sunburn, dehydration, and heatstroke. To stay safe in the heat, one should apply sunscreen, stay in the shade, wear sunglasses or a hat, drink plenty of water, and wipe sweat off the body. During rainy weather, people may get coughs or colds, so it's important to wear boots, sweaters, jackets, and use an umbrella, and eat warm food.
Becoming Compassionate.pptx
This document discusses how to become compassionate by showing empathy and helping those who are suffering through acts of mercy, such as feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, and visiting the sick. It encourages showing compassion when encountering victims of calamity by giving comfort and aid. Several examples are provided of compassionate acts like donating to charities, volunteering, and caring for family members.
force, motion, and energy.pptx
Force can cause changes in the motion, shape, and size of objects. It can make stationary objects begin moving, slow or accelerate moving objects, and change the direction of moving objects. Friction is a type of force that occurs when two surfaces rub against each other. Applying more force to an object generally causes greater changes, such as compressing an object more if a stronger force is exerted.
Nets of Solid Figures.pptx
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
affixes-clt-communicative-language-teaching-resources-read_49190.ppt
This document discusses affixes, including prefixes and suffixes. It provides examples of common prefixes like anti-, de-, dis-, en-, and in- and their meanings. Some common suffixes are -able, -al, -ed, -en, -er, -est, -ful, -ic, -ing, -(t)ion, -(i)ty, -(t)ive, and -ly. Affixes are added to root words to modify or change their meaning. Knowing common prefixes and suffixes can help the reader understand new words and sounds more educated.
assonance_and_consonance_01.pptx
This document defines and provides examples of consonance, assonance, and alliteration. Consonance is the repetition of consonant sounds anywhere in a word. Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds anywhere in a word. Alliteration is the repetition of any sounds at the beginning of words. The document compares and contrasts these three literary devices used to repeat sounds in language.
Geometry, Patterns, and Algebra.pptx
Polygons are plane figures formed by three or more line segments called sides that meet at points called vertices. A regular polygon has all interior angles that are congruent, while an irregular polygon does not have congruent interior angles. Regular polygons include triangles, squares, pentagons and other figures with five or more sides where all interior angles are equal.

- 4. Have you ever heardanyone say this before? What a couch potato! As brave as a lion I can read you like a book! You’re a firework!
- 5. There are many different types of figurative language. Today we’ll talk about two types. Eat like a pig You’re an angel
- 6. Similes compare two things using the words “like” or “as.” Sometimes they make sense, sometimes they can be tricky. I have been working like a dog! As white as snow Fight like cats and dogs As light as a feather Free as a bird
- 7. Metaphors compare two things by saying one thing is another thing. Metaphors do NOT use “like” or “as.” The cat is a shadow. My brother is a chicken. The highway was a parking lot. My teacher is a dragon.
- 8. Remember, similes compare two things using “like” or “as.” Metaphors compare things by saying one thing is the other. Metaphors DO NOT use “like” or “as.”
