Simile or cliché?
Grades 4,5 | Writing, Reading
Light as a feather is a simile (a comparative phrase that uses like or as) - but because it's used so much, it's a bit of a cliché. In this language arts worksheet, your child will come up with original comparisons for adjectives, verbs, and nouns and write them as similes.
