Really good way of using metaphors and similies in a modern and pupil-related exercise.

This would be for upper grade

This would be for upper grade levels. I like the idea of using Beauty and the Beast to help students learn about similes/metaphors and some effective metaphors and similes are provided. On the second worksheet for students to complete, I am not familiar with the characters. So it does help that you can change out the pictures/images to reflect characters in your own units of study.
