Identify metaphors and similes by moving each highlighted phrase into the correct box.

I ask them to take a poem and hold it up to the light like a
color slide

or press an ear against
its hive

into a poem and watch him probe his way out,

or walk inside the
poem's room
and feel
the walls
for a light switch.
