Dragons!
Sentence Challenge! Read the story starter again and identify the similes
A simile is a way of describing something by comparing
it to something else, often using the word “like” or “as”.
Can you identify all of the similes in my writing?
Can you think of your own similes to use in your
writing?
You could experiment using metaphors, or even
personification to make your writing really exciting to read!
This was their favourite time of day to fly.
As the glowing, crimson sun dipped down below the vast
horizon retreating to allow night to take its place, the dragons took flight.
The sky looked beautiful: wisps of pillow-like clouds seemed to part in front of them as they flexed their powerful wings. Like sails
from ancient ships, the wings beat in the dying embers of the sun’s fire,
embracing what little warmth remained. Thousands of tiny scales that covered
the beasts’ bodies glistened like rubies in the dazzling light.
As they reached full speed, leaving the world far
beneath them, they almost grinned as they thought about where they were going.
There would be others like them there. It would be paradise…
