Important!
Using “like” or “as” doesn’t make a simile.

Practice
On a separate sheet of paper (MLA heading):
1. I will show an example of figurative language.
2. You will write the # (1-24) and the term. (simile, metaphor, personification, hyperbole, pun, proverb,
idiom, onomatopoeia, alliteration, assonance, symbolism,
oxymoron, or understatement)
not literal or figurative
3. You can and should use today’s notes, but not each
other. Terms will repeat.
