Venn Diagram

Venn diagrams look at the differences and similarities between two things. 

The Dippy Dinner Drippers is a book about a family being very messy eaters and eat weird combinations of food.

The book Space Food is about a class planning a trip to go to Mars and finding out how to preserve food in space.

The similarities between the two books are that they both have messages, they are both narratives and they both talk about food.


Similarities and differences can help people find out what's the same and what's the difference.

Simile

Similes are a figurative language and a comparison to "like" or "as ... as".

"Like" similes use verbs. For example, "act like an animal," and "soar like an eagle."

"As" similes use adjectives. For example, "ablind as a bat," and "aflat as a pancake."
