Figurative Language

Mr Ogilvie's writing groups were learning about the five different figurative languages.

They first learnt about the five different languages. They were: simile, metaphor, hyperbole, personification and understatement. 

A simile is a comparision between two things using 'like' or 'as...as'. A metaphor is a comparision between two things without using 'like' or 'as...as'. A hyperbole is an exaggerated statement that shows effection. A personification is to give an object or idea a human trait. An understatement is an expression that doesn't have a lot of strength.  

They then made a Google Presentation with the definitions of them and with an example.
