Literary Device Poster: this is an in-class activity that you do not need to make up

1) Metaphor 2) Simile 3) Diction 4) Alliteration/assonance 5) Imagery 6) Symbol/symbolism 7) Personification/anthropomorphism 8) Allegory

On a small poster, each group needs to: 1) Define the literary device (cite source) 2) Create or find an example of the literary device in action (cite any sources) 3) Create an image/find a visual that explains or represents the device Helpful website: [|__http://literarydevices.net/__]

Share out in class. Set up a section in the last three or four pages of your English journal to take notes on academic vocabulary. We recorded (but did not define) all of the devices listed above.

Practice: Go back to your poem and with the help of a partner in class, select two or three lines to edit and improve with one or more literary devices. Ex.: "I love chocolate" turns into "chocolate is my best pal"

HW: Final draft of poem, including the five images/visuals, is due when I see you on Monday
