Similes: Komodo dragon

Writing Ideas

• Write a match report that details a bout between two duelling Komodo dragons.
• Write a cinquain poem describing, through the senses, a moment in time from the film clip (e.g. the moment the dragons reared up onto their hind legs and were locked in battle).
• Watch the related clip (below). It shows the moment that presenter Steve Backshall and his team were chased by komodo dragons. Write a magazine question-and-answer interview with Steve about this frightening event for National Geographic Kids.
