Using EXAGGERATION in our writing.


This morning we were learning to write metaphors. 
We compared a person to an animal using the words 'is' or 'was'. 

This is different from a simile because a simile uses 'like' or 'as'.

A metaphor EXAGGERATES. It makes your writing better because it describes the character and makes it more interesting for the reader and helps them see a picture in their mind. 

Using a metaphor could help make your writing a level 4 or 5.
