Student Projects

Students Read My Dog is as Smelly as Dirty Socks and created a portrait that used descriptive similes and metaphors to write vivid descriptions. Their creativity inspired me to post their creative creations on my website!

When I look in the mirror,

I see a reflection staring back at me.

But there are so many things

that you don't see...

I'm as lucky as a four leaf clover.
My eyes sparkle like diamonds.

I'm as cool as sunglasses.

I'm as clumsy as beans

I'm as stiff as a rock.

I'm as strong as a rino

I'm as sweet as a lollipop.

My lips are as red as cherries.

My teeth are as white as marshmallows.

I'm as ticklish as a feather.

I'm as loud as a firecracker.

I'm as sneaky as a snake.

I'm as curious as a magnifying glass. I'm as beautiful as a flower.
