Sensory Similes

After state testing is finally completed ( yahoo!!!! ), we focus on different types of poetry and art genres.  For similes, students rotate from different stations and complete a sensory chart.  The stations are themed for summer activities ( movies, beach, books, food, sports)

Students complete each simile on the chart:

Looks like_____________
Feels like_____________
Sounds like____________
Tastes like_____________

The students explore the items at the station and complete the chart.  Below is an example of a student at the "beach" station ( sand, pail, bucket of salty water ).  The student is an intermediate learner.

Looks like a land full of gold
Feels like tiny rocks
Sounds like fish jumping in the water
Tastes like dirty bath water
