This educational worksheet for fifth graders introduces the concept of similes, explaining how they can compare things in an exciting or unexpected way to enhance the reading experience. The activity begins with a brief explanation of similes, followed by three examples that utilize both "as" and "like" to illustrate the concept. Students then engage in a hands-on exercise where they complete 12 fill-in-the-blank sentences using their similes. This approach reinforces their understanding of figurative language and encourages creativity in their writing.
