Theme: Online teaching and learning aspect of colour simile. Chirchik State Pedagogical Institute of Tashkent Region, 2

A poetic and crafty way to use similes for environment.

When you say something is ‘similar’ to something else you mean they are very ‘like’ each other.

We use a similar word, ‘simile’ when we are writing. Similes COMPARE two things. If I were to say a flower was ‘like’ , or ‘similar to‘, or ‘as yellow as‘ the sun, I would be using a simile.

The flowers were like little suns = a simile.

The flower’s petals were as pink as Barbie’s house = a simile.

The flower petals had edges similar to saws = a simile.

Example:

Pale blue

like the sky

on the horizon.

 

Orange as a

hungry baby

bird’s beak.

 Red as a

Valentine’s Day

card shop.

 Small metaphor colour poems:

Blue is the day

above the tree.

 Mum’s sheets

are white tents

in the wind.

 The air

waved with

green leaf hands.

 Now the crafty bit!

Write your online poems on things that are the same colour as the subject of your poem. Here you can draw a blue sky as well, or stuck collage pieces of blue onto a white background and stuck the poem on top.
