DAY 2: SPORT & LEISURE
Activity 1: Faster than a speeding bullet
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is a world-famous athlete (sprinter). She currently holds the record for the 100m sprint and has been crowned “world’s fastest woman” a record four times!
Shelly-Ann was born and educated in Jamaica, a small country in the Caribbean that has produced many successful athletes and sportspeople. During her college years, she did well in athletics, winning the Jamaican Schools Championships at the age of 16. She subsequently went on to win many races at both the Olympics and the World Championships. Over the years people have compared her running speed and that of other elite sprinters, like Usain Bolt, too many things, including animals!
When people make these comparisons, they often say things like: “Shelly-Ann is as fast as a cheetah” or “Shelly-Ann is fast like a fighter jet”. These comparisons are examples of similes. In many cases, similes are not exactly true
For this activity, please create four new similes. You can use the starters below or you can make up your own.
(eg: The brand new Ferrari is as fast as a lightning bolt)
The new bike is as fast as a cheetah
The tall giraffe is as tall as a tower!
The tiny puppy is as small as an ant
Beautiful Mother is beautiful like my Garlic bread
On your blog, share the similes that you have created with your readers.
