In an effort to have students think about using imagery in their simile poems, I brought cookies to class, and had students sensory details about them. Students wrote about how they looked, smelled, felt, sounded (as we bit into them) and, finally, tasted. We talked about how sensory details really enrich the thing we are describing.
Students then spent the remainder of the block working on putting together their simile poems. We talked a bit about line lengths, and what makes line lengths effective, and then students went to work playing with the words and lines of their poems.
Please submit completed simile poems to me on Friday.
