The Metaphor Family
Love is like byLill Pluta

Love is like a painting My brother is a dragon
Filled with all colors and shades My moms teddy bear
Love is like a bleeding heart I am a shaggy sheepdog
Cut with many sharp blades With a ton of tangled hair
Love is like a never ending story
That always begins with a kiss My father is a monkey
Love is like a space everlasting He likes to make us laugh
That fills bitterness with bliss Specially my sister
Love is like the circle of eternity Who is a tall giraffe
Always there to take for free
We are a busy family
Written by: Allen Steble The Philosophical Poe With many things to do
Our home is always happy
But sometimes it’s a zoo

Today, we're going to read a fun poem that describes an airplane in a way we may
not have thought of before.
Imagine the airplane as a bird one with giant wings, a little motor heart, and a fan
on her bill! As we read, let's think about how machines, like airplanes, are similar to
living things and how they make our world so exciting!"

Inside the box are folded pieces of paper, each with a
different word written on it.Each student will take turns
picking one folded paper from the Magic Box.After all the
students have picked their words, the teacher will paste a
set of words on the board. Each word on the board will
have a similar meaning (synonym) to the words the
students have picked from the box.Students will read their
words aloud, one by one, and try to find the matching
synonym from the words pasted on the board.If the student
needs help, the teacher can guide them by providing hints or
examples to help them find the correct synonym.

for the rhythm, the main idea, and any feelings or connections they have as they

speech? How do similes and metaphors help in everyday
communication?”
